I mean, why the charade? Why let the fans even entertain the thought that the team would try to compete in the free-agent market?
The wacky brothers have claimed for years that their finances were just fine, but that silly boast is not even up for debate anymore.
What's the best thing that George Maloof could do right now? How about an honest statement.
It could go something like this:
"Because of the economy and a number of completely boneheaded moves by my family, the Kings will be running the team on an austerity budget for the near future.
"That means no big free agents, no trades that take on any salary, and no chance we enter into any arena deal that forces us to put in one red cent.
"We'd like to apologize to the fans for thinking we were legitimate deep-pocketed owners who cared about anything more than keeping our irrationally entitled family afloat.
"So chill out, stop complaining, and stop scrolling the sports wires for news about the Kings. Ain't gonna happen, suckers."
All the best,
Georgie

When you're struggling economically it makes sense to move to another location, don't you think? I would if I had a failing business and little hope for growth. Anaheim has a really great market and lots of rich people so they might be able to help the Maloofs get rich again! I hope so.
But either way, it should be their choice, right?
