Our friends at 95.7 The Game in San Francisco have an interesting relationship with Sacramento, it would seem. Ric Bucher, formerly of ESPN and now a co-host on The Game, has been particularly at odds with them.

Not 100% sure of the context here but they do a segment called "High Road, Low Road" and on this case, Ric took the low road. Enjoy

In case there is anybody out there that is looking for more reasons to "dislike" David Stern, Here comes this tidbit from Steve Kyler, the Editor and Publisher of HOOPSWORLD. He covers the NBA and basketball for USA Today Sports.

Sources close to the process in Dallas yesterday said that David Stern was an active participant in Seattle/Sac vote.

Sources said that Seattle group was compelling and that more owners were probablyin favor of Seattle vote, but that Stern swayed the vote.

Seattle offer would have valued the team at more than $625 million and that a $115 million relocation fee would have been paid.

RT @kalaker1: did that fool stern veto something again? ---> Didn't have veto power, but did turn some opinions in support of Sacramento.

— Steve Kyler (@stevekylerNBA) May 16, 2013

Softy read that statement on the air for the first time without getting a chance to preview it. I say that just so you know the context as Softy got VERY emotional going through it. Chris Hansen hasn't given up so neither have we!

This is a post from Kevin Shockey so if anybody has an issue, you can hit me up on twitter @KevinShockey.

R.E. Graswish apparently spent the last three years working in the mayor’s office and the now-defunct Think Big Sacramento arena task force.

Here are his thoughts. I respectfully disagree.

Wonder if NBA governors know how soft political & fan support for arena is in Sea. Minimal passion in Sea today.

— R.E. Graswich (@REGraswich) May 15, 2013

Soft Sea support has been untold story in this whole drama. A few loud voices made Sea sound passionate, but reality is different.

— R.E. Graswich (@REGraswich) May 15, 2013

No doubt NBA knows Sea support is soft, especially among pols. Hansen/Ballmer good owners but pol leadership ambivalent.

— R.E. Graswich (@REGraswich) May 15, 2013

Sea can't fake passion when it barely exists...

— R.E. Graswich (@REGraswich) May 15, 2013

Sea Times Westneat verifies -- mayoral candidates split on arena. "The crowd didn't seem to care much one way or the other."

— R.E. Graswich (@REGraswich) May 15, 2013

"My point here isn't to rehash the arena debate. It's to point out that support for this entire enterprise is tenuous." -Westneat Sea Times

— R.E. Graswich (@REGraswich) May 15, 2013

"I'm not sold on the idea of an arena yet." -- Sea councilman Rasmussen

— R.E. Graswich (@REGraswich) May 15, 2013

"If they say 'no,' there is going to be some energy that dissipates around here." - Sea councilman Burgess

— R.E. Graswich (@REGraswich) May 15, 2013

"Sure, basketball lovers (like me!) are for it. But broadly, we could take it or leave it." -Westneat Sea Times

— R.E. Graswich (@REGraswich) May 15, 2013

Appreciate Dan Westneat in Times for reality check regards Sea support.

Interesting stuff tonight via Tim Montemayor (@theMontyShow on twitter) of KNBR and KGO Radio in San Francisco regarding the future of the Kings and NBA Basketball in Seattle.

I'll put a disclaimer out there saying I don't know Tim and can't confirm any of his reporting tonight. That doesn't mean he's not 100% accurate in what he's saying. Lots of tidbits from Tim regarding expansion in Seattle and what the Maloof family has meant to Chris Hansen's chances of bringing the Sonics back to Seattle.

Read below and form your own opinion about what Tim is saying tonight: (We encourage you to use the Facebook comment section below to react to it)

The #NBAKings were still "in play" …they have been aware of expansion for two months, in that time they have fought hard "to keep Sac alive"

However the tone and subject of NBA conversations changed this week after H&B where plainly told their relationship with the #Maloofs ...

was "concessionary" in nature and have "seemingly woken up to the reality of the situation" that the #Maloofs have made them look ...

— Tim Montemayor (@TheMontyShow) May 15, 2013

"Foolish" and it appears the #Maloofs "are directing the H&B groups direction …they were told in no uncertain terms that it was now or nvr

— Tim Montemayor (@TheMontyShow) May 15, 2013

It was conveyed to me that H&B have told the #Maloofs that they needed to take a few days to reconsider their position ahead of Wednesday

— Tim Montemayor (@TheMontyShow) May 15, 2013

and that discussions surrounding expansion have now become a two way communication with H&B shifting their tone to returning the #NBA

to #Seattle by any available means. The #Maloofs responded by reaching out to media member who they had previously ignored

My sources tell me that H&B took the day today to reach out and talk to #NBA people they trust who made it clear they were rapidly ...

H&B were told that the #NBA was "shocked" at how the situation played out and disappointed that it appear H&B were "tone deaf to the ...

"…reality of the situation" "how could they not know money was not the leading factor or consideration in any committee vote?" end.

— Tim Montemayor (@TheMontyShow) May 15, 2013

The #Maloofs made such a poor showing at the NY presentation that the #Seattle H&B group were warned in committee and in private that ...

— Tim Montemayor (@TheMontyShow) May 15, 2013

…Continuing relationship with "that family" would substantially damage their efforts. They did not heed that warning until this week.

— Tim Montemayor (@TheMontyShow) May 15, 2013

my sources tell me the #NBA has been talking about how to "shake Chris Hanson out of this trance" for a month and that the Monday conference

call focused heavily on how to salvage H&B as an ownership group. While I do not know who did what specifically it was made clear to me ...

several #NBA owners and executives put a lot of effort in to opening a new dialogue with Hansen and it worked.

A couple of other notes: Any one saying Hansen would own the #NBAKings in Sac and build an arena there is "in outer space" H&B is solely...

source leaks and my sources have said they need to be very careful the #NBA has said any leak of information will be met harshly.

For everyone saying I am a #NBAKings fan or apologist: everyone I know in Sac knows I am not a fan, I covered the team for a few yrs I only
