Maloofs Emotional About Staying In Sacramento

KG-MVP21 · 09-16-2006, 05:32 PM

Sacramento Bee - The Maloofs are taking another arena plan to the vote of the public this November, as Arco Arena is grossly outdated.

"Nobody is running us out of town," an emotional Joe Maloof said Friday, his voice rising by the word, the conspiracy chatter prodding him into near-screech. "We're going to be here for the next 30 years. We have already invested eight years of our lives in the Kings and Sacramento. We've given $11 million in charity. We put a great product on the floor. We take care of the Monarchs. Why would we want to leave? ... We are not politicians, but we are businessmen. This is what we do. I think the way we've run our franchise, we have earned the right to be heard on this."

Just commenting these guys, they will stay in SAC as long as possible, seeing as they control both the Kings and the Monarchs.

Problem is, people are making hard for them to stay. It's either the city or the developers. I just don't see this deal getting done anytime soon. It's been dragging on too long already.
