Maloofs come up with the cash... and, poof, an arena deal is born

Okay, I admit it.  Never figured the Maloofs would agree to stay in Sacramento and dole out the heavy cash.

I still don't quite know where they intend to get the money or how they intend to compete as NBA owners but, hey, it looks like Sacramento is going to get an arena.

And that's all that matters.  An arena means hundreds of construction jobs and a downtown that actually matters after dark.

Still, I wasn't sure how this was going to all turn out.  After all, I was lucky enough to get a spy photo of Gavin Maloof during the negotiations... he sures knows how to bluff...
