So, the Maloofs and Bennett are good friends...but Bennett and Buss are best friends?
Let's all hope that's true.

The extension to file for relocation was pushed back to May 2nd. That's looking a little brighter for us because it shows the BoG are clearly interested in what KJ told them at the NY meetings.

I see the past 24 hours as great news. I truly believe the Maloofs thought they had a sure thing going into yesterday. Now they need an extension and the BoG needs to "digest all of the new information." Darius Anderson is sort of overlooked in this whole thing. I know of him through some political relationships, and he can pull some serious strings out here. The Maloofs seemed to forget that Sactown is really good at one thing - playing politics. Anderson and KJ caught them with their pants down on this one. I give them a lot of credit...I was really criticizing KJ for seemingly trying to distance himself from the situation in the past weeks...little did we know it was likely part of a much savvier strategy. The Maloofs ran a POS PR campaign throughout this process, and now we're going to bury them for it. Even if they successfully move to Anaheim, they'll be digging their own goodwill graves, IMO.

I would say it's 35/65 that they'll stay.

Bennett is in position to determine how much a relocated franchise will be worth (which will be a helluva lot more in SoCal). He's desperate to recoup the $50 million he overpaid for the Sonics, plus the relocation fee from when they moved. Anything to dig into that is going to be a priority. The other owners know what a slime ball Clay Bennett is, nobody's falling for his latest move.

Mayor Kevin Johnson Says He "Laid Out Compelling Case" to NBA Board Mayor Kevin Johnson Says He "Laid Out Compelling Case" to NBA Board

The latest proposal to build a new arena in the Sacramento area is much different than the others, all of which have failed. An out of state businessman, with life-long ties to Sacramento, is preparing legal documents to begin an effort to build a publicly funded, non-profit, tax exempt arena here.
Papers will be filed with the California Secretary of State asking to form a non-profit corporation, and papers will be filed with the IRS requesting tax-exempt status. The corporation will be governed by an Executive Committee elected from a Board of Directors.
Only the President of the Executive Committee will be a paid position. All others who serve will be volunteers, most from the area business community. Initially, the corporation will initiate a $500 million stock sale. Shareholders will not receive dividends or free tickets to events. The plan is based on the model of the community owned Green Bay Packers of the National Football League.
The person behind this latest plan wishes to remain anonymous, at least for the next couple weeks, until all paperwork has been completed.
It was stressed to FOX40 News that this will be a regional facility, and even though there are two sites already determined to be workable for this project, the yet to be named Board of Directors will make the decisions relative to the arena's location and the developer chosen for the project.
Once the documents have been approved by the state and IRS, the next step is recruiting volunteers to serve on the Board. At that time tax deductible donations can be accepted, and the process of preparing the sale of stock can begin.
Individuals and businesses can make donations and buy stock. The plan's backer is confident $500 million can be raised within a year, and arena construction could conceivably begin within six months, a process, he says, will be faster than can be accomplished under any public/private partnership. He added, "It certainly won't take the ten years Sacramento has been trying to build an arena."
