Hoop Royalty Aims for Anaheim

The Kings, an NBA team that currently calls Sacramento its home, intends to move to Anaheim. The KTLA.com story provides some details. The report does mention that there's some bickering going on between certain Sacramento interests and the Kings' owners, the Maloof brothers. However, the current wisdom is that the Maloofs' version of basketball royalty will be heading to Orange County.

One suspects the bros, shown in the photograph, have a bigger prize than Anaheim in their sights. (After all, they would have to share the LA market with the high-profile Lakers and somewhat sinister Clipper ownership.) One of the Maloofs' corporate entity is based in Nevada. Perhaps some Las Vegas investors have the money and persuasive skills to encourage the Maloofs to move the Kings or whatever their Anaheim alias will be. Then those same investors will have to convince the NBA that pro ball deserves a place on the Strip.

Then the team can truly be called the High Rollers.
