Seriously, why does this team exist? What have they ever done that was noteworthy?
Why did the NBA feel they had to save this shit team?
>>66104563
>What have they ever done that was noteworthy?
Get cucked by Stern in 2002 I guess
>>66104576
Oh wow...in a series that they should have lost anyways?
No one wanted to watch Nets-Kings, dude.
I don't even know where Sacramento is
>>66104590

California isn't relevant where I live, dude
As far as I'm concerned the only California team that should exist are the Lakers

Well all we have to do is shut down Wall Street and you can kiss all your money goodbye
>>66104563
It's part of our outreach program where a capital city gets an NBA team for no reason. Same reason OKC is doing a thing.
We thank you for your cooperation.
From a New York perspective it makes no sense how Sacramento has a team and Seattle doesn't

I've said it before and I'll said it again
Most sports would be better with fewer teams
>NBA
20 teams, tops (get rid of: Kings, Timberwolves, Nuggets, Grizzlies, Hornets, Magic, Bucks, Nets and two more randos)
>NHL
25 teams (get rid of Blues, Preds, Coyotes, Panthers, Blue Jackets)
>MLB
25 teams (get rid of Mariners, Padres, Diamondbacks, Brewers, and rays.
>NFL
28 teams (get rid of Browns, Jags, Buccs, and Titans)
>>66105245
>odd number in NHL and MLB
Nigga you retarded.
>>66104655
this, i still havn't followed the nba since 2002. i was a magic fan so i really didnt miss much

you guys are the reason everyone sucks kobes dick
>>66105302
>odd numbers a terrible thing
ok....
Then explain why in the NHL the western conference has 14 teams and the east 16?
Why couldn't 1 conference have 1 more team than the other instead of 2 more?
The MLB had a different amount of teams in the AL and NL for most of the past 30 years
and they have two different sets of rules.
So I guess what I'm saying is: NO U
>>66105596
you need an even number of teams so they can all play on the same day
>>66105551
>soap opera drama
just watch soap operas then, you fucking twat
>>66105659
>so they can all play on the same day
u wat?
do you mean an even number of games? or the same amount of games?
because you can do that too, except you have inter-conference matchups more often for 1 team
>>66105659
also, the MLB already moved to an unbalanced schedule...
>>66105680
with an odd # of teams in a league one team would not have a matchup if they wanted every team to play on one day
>>66105701
How often does that happen in any league?
>>66105701
The NBA hasn't done that in forever
Neither has the MLB
or the NFL
or the NHL
not even opening night is played by everyone at once....
you're really retarded, aren't you?
>>66105245
Would the Clippers still exist?
>>66105761
>Neither has the MLB
http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/03/mlb-schedule-game-162-simultaneous-all-teams
http://m.mlb.com/news/article/142659350/all-15-mlb-home-teams-win-on-same-day
MLB does it because Boston got royally fucked in the last game a couple years ago when they needed a different team to win or something.
Anyways, I'm not saying its very important but it seems that leagues like it to be an option. You do look seriously retarded right now tho
>>66105839
from the link you posted
>MLB expanded to 30 teams in 1998, offering the first such opportunity for a regular 15-game schedule, excluding doubleheaders. There were 16 teams throughout most of MLB history, so for the majority of that time, eight games per day was the norm.
so no
They did it a few times in the last 100 years.
It doesn't sound like most leagues like it to be an option, because they don't do it often
>>66105774
>2 more randos
I would go with the clippers and wizards, but I can see the last 2 being contentious.
>>66105774
The Clippers don't even have 41 home games like every other team, since Lakers, Warriors, Bulls, Knicks, etc. fans all invade Staples Center when they play
>>66105245
>NFL
>28 teams (get rid of Browns, Jags, Buccs, and Titans)
I'm sorry but no matter how shit they are the NFL is not, under any circumstances is getting rid of the Browns and the Bucs.
Both have their reasons, but why would you want to have two of your most passionate and most important catchment areas go away because their teams suck for so long?
Can this butthurt Seattle faggot find a new team to obsess over?
The Kings have one of the best attendance records for any franchise in NBA history, compared to the Bucks or Hawks or fucking Sonics it's no contest why there's still a team in Sac and not in Seattle.
The Kings are building the best NBA stadium in the country for next year and it's already complete pretty much so the team isn't going anywhere, fuck off.
>>66105880
You aren't reading that correctly. It's saying that they've had days when all teams were playing for 100+ years but the league was never big enough to do 15 games in one day until 1998
>>66105910
>muh passion
>muh catchment
ok buddy
it's all for the money that the league gets from the dumbass fans of those two shit teams.
Sorry your shit is retarded
>>66105952
yes, earlier in the article they mention that
also, in the MLB entry about the schedule
>Not every team plays every day—Mondays and Thursdays sometimes serve as off-days for particular teams—but there are some games every day, except during the All-Star break.
>>66105949
You aren't answering the question of the thread - why do the Sacramento kings exist? What have they ever done that was noteworthy?
>Transgendeattle
>>66105952
also, you're the one claiming leagues like having the "option" of playing every team in a single day
And you haven't found shit to support that except for it happening rarely in the bloated MLB
Like thanksgiving has become a marketing ploy for the NFL, or christmas day for the NBA, having every MLB team play in a single day would be marketed like crazy, but it isn't, because they don't do it.
Some reasons why (if you weren't retarded, you'd get it)
>Umpires are scarce and of varying quality
>nationally televised games are restricted to certain times and channels because of contracts
>the players unions have included off days in their contracts making it harder to organize
In other words, they would rather stagger marquee matchups so that they can put their best umpires behind the plate and have the largest possible audience, so that they can make more $$$$
Nothing, in your rambling, idiotic responses has come close to a coherent or logical statement
>>66105974
nigger im not saying every day they have all 30 teams playing. just showing you how wrong you were about the mlb
>>66105245
You realize that they profit from these teams, right? Even though they may "lose" money individually, the league makes more with them than without them
>>66106019
They exist because the team was moved to Sacramento by Sacramento businessmen in 1985 and have been financially successful enough for future owners to purchase the team and keep it in Sacramento. You don't have to win a championship every X number of years in order to keep your team. Do you honestly think anyone fucking remembers when the Sonics won their only championship in the fucking 1970s?
Why do the Mariners exist? How many championships do they have?
They also won the NBA Championship in 2002 if this were a just world and you obviously know nothing about basketball if you disagree with that.
>>66106073
the reasons you list make it clear you dont watch much baseball and clearly ur autism is flaring here so just answer this: why do leagues have an even # of teams if there is no reason for it?
>>66106086
>financially successful
>Maloofs went bankrupt
You were saying?
And Seattle is a major market, like New York, like LA, like Chicago.
Sacramento is OKC tier
>>66106204
What did Seattle do to lose their team? Whatever the reason is why they aren't getting another team
>>66104888
lol, you're funny man
>>66105662
he wasn't saying that's why he watches nba you moronic thundercunt
>>66106204
The team was always financially successful. It was sold for an NBA record amount (before the Clippers destroyed that record by being sold for 2 billion)
The Maloofs lost their money in the stock market crash
>>66106080
yes, I was talking more towards quality of the product than business sense
>>66106104
>I have no point to make because I'm a complete retard
got it
>>66104590
>No one wanted to watch Nets-Kings, dude.
Stern pls
>>66105245
>getting rid of the Browns
Watching them find new ways to fuck up is better than the super bowl
>>66106559
>muh sports drama
watching more teams hold onto good players and improving the quality of a roster from top to bottom is better than anything else
>>66104563
Sacramento sells out its season tickets while seattle could not sell them when the team was bad
>>66105245
>get rid of the preds
>>66106204
>seattle is a major market
>city only has 600,00 people in it
you are fucking Fresno tier
>>66106809
Well like any other major city, Seattle has a lot of things someone could do.
Sacramento only has a shitty NBA team to look forward to
And no one really answered what the Sacramento Kings have really done
>>66106880
they sell tickets and season tickets unlike the shitty fairweather sonics fans. Same reason OKC has a team and you do not
>>66106880
>Shitattlel
>major city
>>66106898
>>66106957
Again, let me know what the Sacramento Kings have accomplished in the real world
All I see is that they're wasting the young years of a future HoFer in DeMarcus Cousins
>>66104563
hey seattlebro, at least we got the 12th man
>>66105245
just get rid of the whole NHLel actually
>>66104590
>Nets
speaking of teams that didn't need to exist
pic related too
the entire north and eastern half of the 'state' of New Jersey should not exist, it's in actuality just extra boroughs of New York.
eat shit, OP
the fans still follow this dumpster fire even through everything
>>66107269
Sacramento is only 88 miles away from Oakland
>>66107296
and seattle is only 174 miles from portland
>>66107312
In a completely different state, with a completely different culture, and over twice the distance of 88 miles away.
I'm not even from Seattle and even I know how entitled Sacramento is. I'd say if terrorists attacked, no one would care, but even terrorists know how irrelevant Sacramento is
>>66107339
Sacramento and its surrounding region is nothing like the Bay area
congratulations on proving you're retarded once again
and its funny you say entitled since You're trying to steal a team exactly like OKC did with the sonics
>>66107339
mfw 174 is more than double 88
>>66107369
Ok, but most people in Sacramento cheer for who in the NFL? Who do they cheer for in MLB? who do they cheer for in NHL?
And its still California.
If you don't understand the differences between two completely different states, I can't help you
>>66107370
ok, my math was off. It's 2 miles less than twice as long.
>>66107476
they cheer for the Raiders or the 49ers, it largely depends on preference
They mostly cheer for the A's because the AAA affiliate used to belong to the A's, but now switched to the giants. None of this is relevant though, since there's no Sacramento MLB/NFL team
although the Rivercats do have a larger attendance than most M's Games
>>66107476
>state lines matter
NYC and northern NJ/ western CT are far more alike than NYC/Buffalo
Philadelphia and southern NJ/northern DE are far more alike than PHI/PIT
I'm from the east coast I don't know how alike Seattle and Portland are but I can totally buy that Sacramento is nothing like the bay area just based on how it is here when you travel 88 miles west and cuktures are drastically different.
>>66104851
>most important in the country
you libcucks arnt even american what the fuck are you talking about lmao
>>66104851
I would extend this to the whole North East corridor, only part of the US that isn't totally fucking retarded.
>>66107501
Exactly, so Sacramento people already cheer for Bay Area teams. They obviously don't need an NBA team.
>>66107539
They do. Think of the difference between Illinois and Wisconsin. It's the same
>>66104563
Get in line, bitch. The Brooklyn Nets suck even more dick.
>>66107689
can you even read? They follow a Bay area team because theres no MLB/NFL team in sacramento
They dont need to follow the warriors because they have the kings

MLB does that literally 5 days a week
>>66106880
and seattle has no nba team to look forward to
