There are several news stories out recently and rumors going back all year that the Maloof brothers have wanted to move the Kings out of Sacramento.

The City of Anaheim has voted unanimously to allot $75 million to, in essence, bring the Kings to Anaheim.

The Anaheim city council unanimously approved a $75 million bond deal Tuesday night to entice the Sacramento Kings to relocate to Orange County.

The city council twice voted 5-0 for the measures to a round of applause from its packed City Hall meeting room, calling it another major step in luring the Kings to Honda Center.

During the city council meeting it was also announced that the team name would have "Anaheim as its first word and sole geographic identifier." Attorneys for the Kings earlier this month filed for trademarks on several names including the Anaheim Royals. The name change would take the team back to their roots when they were known as the Rochester Royals when they were founded in 1945 and later the Cincinnati Royals when the team moved in 1957.

Can three NBA teams within 35 miles co-exist? Is this a good move? I am all for it if it makes my Kings ....err.....Royals competitive again. They have won their last 4 games and at least 5 out of their last 6. Maybe the idea of a fresh start and a healthy Tyreke Evans (who missed around 20 games) will make this team a serious threat to make the playoffs next season.
