I'm still laughing at the idea of Sacramento Tax Payers being on the hook for $250 million dollars for a new Kings stadium The arena was built then Vivek dismantles the team right away after getting the new stadium approved, which adds more to the net worth of the team. I wanted Seattle to get the team with their private funded Arena deal, but then got poo poo on by Kings fans for wanting to steal a team even though the new Arena deal that was proposed was poo poo for the taxpayers in Sacramento. Sweet cathartic feeling of being right Rabid Snake fucked around with this message at 03:01 on Feb 22, 2017 |

Spoeank posted:Sacramento didn't steal your team you loving idiot The reason why David Stern pushed for Vivek was that he wanted his team owners to leverage tax payers into paying for their own stadiums. I was pissed about that. Out of all the people, you should be happy that the 49ers got denied by SF for tax breaks on the new Levi's stadium. Surprise surprise, Vivek gutted the team when he had Whiteside, Issiah, and Boogie. And the 49ers owner Jed York did the same poo poo. They don't give a gently caress about the fans.

You're right there. I misread. But you're a loving idiot about Whiteside, so you're still 1/2.

As a fan of Michigan football, I think Jed York is a brilliant owner, and I appreciate the wise decision he made in firing Jim Harbaugh. I only wish they would have done it sooner.

Didn't Vivek buy the team in 2013? So he had the chance to keep him? "no effort moron" Well I think that's mostly on Vivek for hiring some talentless hacks to run his team. How did he become an effort player who lead the NBA in blocks in 2016? Culture and personnel

It's been about almost 4 years since I've read it So you are going to come in here to gloat about being right without actually knowing what you are right about? quote:So I really hate Vivek and the basketball side of operations right now, but let me clear something up -- The public funding of the arena is fairly unique in this case. It wasn't general fund money, it wasn't a new tax, it wasn't any of that. The residents of the city aren't really paying for the arena like you'd suggest.

I still have doubts about Whiteside as a player because his game is hugely detrimental to an offense. He just wrecks any team concept and his offense is worse than his defense is good and he's an overall net negative. He doesn't really play basketball, and I don't know if he's got enough Dennis Rodman in him to make it work. but I remember tuning in to Kings games to see IT play I have no idea why he was moved. Ginobili, IT and Tom Brady best late draft picks of all time.

Half truths in one whiteside and you compare me to trump. What a hyperbole. You should feel happy that SF wasn't forced to pay Levi Stadium's terrible tax. Get's his stadium built and guts the whole team after. Reminds me of the kings. Owning a house in daly city and having my property tax become almost as much as my mortgage is ridiculous. I can't imagine my taxes going to an arena when the cost of living is so high in the bay already And after reading the actual documents on the "parking tax" that is supposed to pay for the arena... What happens when the parking meters don't meet the expected threshold? They were optimistic assumptions in the first place, and that was when the Kings were on the uprise.
