Along with property tax payments the Kings are expected to make from the arena, the team’s total contribution is expected to hit 61 percent of the sum the city needs to pay bondholders. quote:City officials said their efforts are starting to pay off. In fiscal 2014-15, the parking operation generated a $4.6 million profit on revenue of $31.1 million. In 2015-16, the profit increased to $5.7 million as revenue grew to $34.8 million. In the current fiscal year, which includes the arena’s inaugural year, profit is expected to jump to $9.2 million on revenue of $40.5 million. This doesn't even take into account the additional riders of the light rail that are now propping up that public transportation system. Or all the development and construction taking place in a previously delapidated area. Or things like the privately funded soccer stadium going in down the street from it

Oh man what a surprise a goon from Seattle has no idea how Public Finance works in Sacramento, California, which is almost assuredly a place he has never visited and knows nothing about other than the fact that the Kings play there and maybe that it's the Capital of California. I am shocked.

He lives in Daly City though, which is a suburb of San Francisco. I use the term suburb lightly because it's like 3 malls, 25 business parks and a few gas stations. I'm just saving him the effort of responding to every single post. It's okay to assume where he lives though. He assumes I live in SF

Yeah they don't move games to the main networks, I imagine scheduling is done way way way ahead of time. Plus you'd need a whole different broadcast team who are already scheduled. Probably show it on NBATV tho?

If it wasn't TNT night they could easily have it shown on nbatv but since it is I don't think they will

"If you don't like that, you don't like NBA/Kings basketball" worked A LOT better when they were the best passing team in the league. A Willie Cauley-Stein put back dunk doesn't have quite the same flash behind it as some of the insane passing clinics that led to sweet scores from peak Kings. Now it's just kinda sad.

The trade-off is that teams will trade less, and trading is always way more fun. Plus, top 55 protected 2nd rounders are the only legal way to dump something for free.

College basketball is only fun for the tournament and some rivalries. Actually, all the rivalries suck too besides maybe Lville /Uk

Panzeh posted:College basketball is some of the slowest, most god-awful ball this side of the 90s. The huge problem at the college level is that it's filled with coaches who micromanage every single possession in order to find ~~~the perfect look at the basket~~~ so you end up with teams acting like taking a shot with more than ten seconds left on the clock is some kind of missed opportunity. Even the announcers - you see guys who bitch about teams "shooting too early" because they're not winding down the shot clock until there's 4-5 seconds left on each possession.

Honestly this year's college basketball has been really fun. Tons of down to the wire games, tons of upsets, and lots of really talented teams.

Crazy Ted posted:That's down to coaching though. Pace - in terms of possessions per game - was actually quite a bit faster 30-40 years ago, when there wasn't even a shot clock. Take a quick look here and you'll see that there are three teams averaging 80 possessions per game this year. Go back to the first year of data (97-98) - the number of teams at that amount is closer to 15, and the shot clock was 35 seconds then - not 30. This is true(pace in basketball was faster in the old days in general both at the pro and college level), but you're right, a lot of it comes down to the coach wanting to play the point from the bench but the resulting basketball is guys swinging it around the perimeter for a while against a zone while they end up with a bad iso anyway because the offense wasn't going anywhere. Watching teams try to play against a zone by just standing on the 3 point line and lazily throwing it around is some of the worst poo poo ever, and they pass up sort of open 3s for horrible drives into traffic. I can see how someone might be more invested in college teams but I can not see how someone can say the game is more fun to watch.
