Per Marc Stein of ESPN.com, the Sacramento Kings are seriously considering the possibility of applying to the NBA by the league’s March 1 deadline for relocation to Anaheim for next season, according to sources with knowledge of the team’s thinking.
The Kings haven’t made a final decision, but sources said team officials have been in Orange County, Calif., this month to gather more first-hand data on the feasibility and potential obstacles involved in trying to move to Anaheim’s Honda Center at season’s end after a 26-season run in Sacramento and numerous failed attempts to secure the financing needed for the construction of a new modern arena.
NBA commissioner David Stern publicly confirmed for the first time Saturday night at his annual All-Star Weekend news conference that the Kings have had discussions with Anaheim officials about a possible move.
