message: Please add info on the push to build a new arena at Cal Expo. That information is extremely relevant to this article as a new arena or lack thereof will affect the future of the Kings franchise, at least in the Sacramento market. I will do so by this weekend if no one else does.--Msr69er (talk) 17:06, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I want to update about the Kings' and Hornets' relocation matter 3 years later. 
The Kings aren't moving to Anaheim or San Jose, so has the Hornets: each team is staying put. The economic downturn prevented relocations and new arena offers for the two lackluster teams, including the LA Clippers whom thought of a new site. The 2011 NBA All-Star Game logo had combined the LA Clippers colors and the Lakers stardom glare. Another regional city: Las Vegas, Nevada whom hosted the 2007 NBA All-Star Game; hadn't succeeded in a NBA team, nor had Seattle after the Supersonics relocated to Oklahoma (City). The NBA's Kings would be the first US professional sports team to relocate 5 times in its' 60-year history. + Mike D 26 (talk) 04:39, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

text: Update: The Kings team ownership is meeting with the league commission board and the city of Anaheim in a decision to move there next season. The local NBA franchises: Lakers and Clippers need to approve a competitor in their fan market base. Also the possibility is the Clippers in L.A. will find another arena, instead of sharing Staples Center, in the metro area. 71.102.30.215 (talk) 09:36, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

message: When the Kings move to Seattle, will the Kings' franchise records still be recognized, or will they be recognized as the Seattle Supersonics? I seem to remember the NBA promising Seattle a new team that would keep all of the old Sonics' franchise history. However, that's odd, since the Oklahoma City Thunder have kept the Sonics' franchise history.69.181.41.173 (talk) 05:15, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Move to Seattle

message: The "Seattle Kings" logo is fake; some guy made it for a t-shirt: http://thesportsgeeks.com/2013/01/09/seattle-kings-logo/. Also, despite the announced move, there is no intention to keep the Kings name, so references to the "Seattle Kings" are also incorrect ("Wojnarowski reports Hansen and the new owners will bring back the Seattle SuperSonics longtime green-and-gold colors and name." http://www.nba.com/2013/news/01/21/kings-sale-to-seattle-aldridge/index.html). Also not sure of the logic of having Seattle listed everywhere while the team is still playing in Sacramento.
The last edit should probably just be reverted.

message: The section about the proposed move to Seattle really needs to be cleaned up. There's propaganda on both sides that really shouldn't be in the article.

This section is a disaster. A day by day account of the events is a bit over the top, and reads like a 3rd grade report. I tried cleaning it up about a month ago and consolidating, making it more readable, but some joker reverted everything.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.185.2.13 (talk) 06:31, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

message: I would propose splitting a good share of the information in the history section to a new article titled History of the Sacramento Kings and then summarizing the information in the history section on the main Sacramento Kings page. As it is, the history section (mostly the 1985-present part) is quite long and a bit unwieldy, taking up around half of the page. Ideally, the history would be condensed to one to three (maybe four) reasonable-sized (about as long as this post) paragraphs for each location/era (Rochester, Cincinnati, Kansas City-Omaha, and Sacramento, with Sacramento perhaps getting a couple to three paragraphs for 1985-~2010 and then another couple to three paragraphs for ~2010-present, since most visitors to the main Sacramento Kings page will be more interested in recent history), while all of the detail could survive in the new History of the Sacramento Kings article.
