When one of the Maloof brothers asks, "Which way to the beach?," he's asking for directions to the dunes in VA, not CA. Rumors, like ocean waters, are swirling that the Sacramento Kings are plotting a possible relocation some 2,900 mi away to Virginia Beach. The city's mayor confirmed there will be a Tuesday meeting with team officials and cable company Comcast would work with the city to construct an arena. However, the Hampton Roads area has been down this road before, as a candidate considered when the Charlotte Hornets went hive hunting (the big sleazy, ex-owner George Shinn, chose the Big Easy - proving he sure knew how to Picayune a site where there's as little support for the squad as there is for the newspaper). Seattle and Anaheim are other places in pursuit, so resettling on the east coast is not a shore thing.
Not only did Mark Cuban fail to acquire his prized PG, he also fell short in retaining his one from the past season, Jason Kidd, and he's rationalizing the former rebuff, while ranting about the latter one. Oh, plus Jason Terry took off, too. Maybe Cuban should spend less time on Shark Tank and more time in a think tank. Here's a million-dollar business idea: focus on your multi-million-dollar business.
*but perhaps some Atlantic ones
