David Stern said Wednesday that the Seattle Group led by Chris Hansen has formally filed to relocate the Kings’ franchise to Seattle. The deadline for teams to file for relocation is March, so this comes as no surprise – though it hadn’t been official.
According to USA TODAY Sports:
NBA Commissioner David Stern says the group that has reached agreement to purchase the Sacramento Kings has formally filed to relocate the franchise to Seattle.
Stern spoke on Wednesday night in Minneapolis before the Timberwolves hosted San Antonio. He called the Seattle group, led by Chris Hansen and Steve Ballmer, “very strong,” and that the appropriate committees have been convened to look over the proposed sale of the Kings and the prospective move to Seattle.
