Adrian Wojnarowski is a G. That is all. Oh, and this:
The Maloofs are finalizing an agreement to sell the Sacramento Kings to the Hansen-Ballmer led Seattle group, sources tell Yahoo! Sports.

The deal will sell the Kings for approximately $500 million, with the Seattle group seeking relocation to Key Arena for the 2013-'14 season.

The Seattle group's plans, with support of the NBA, is to play two seasons in Key Arena before moving into a new Seattle arena, sources say.

No agreement signed, but one source describes deal as "1st and goal at 1." Maloofs history of changing course late still makes many uneasy.

The Maloofs are expected to keep an extremely small percentage of team, but will have no real input or say in franchise, sources say.

Here is some immediate reaction from the news.
Wow …

A positive thought for Sacramento fans: It's a great time to hop on Warriors' bandwagon.

Kings currently rank last in attendance. That's where the Nets were last year (now 17th). Sometimes a move is best for a franchise.

And the Maloofs end up walking with $600 million dollars. Screw 'em.

Buying a new team won't bring Kevin Durant back, Seattle.

No dedicated fanbase like Sacramento's should have a team ripped away from them, but Seattle should never have been without a team.

You lost Kevin Durant, Seattle, but you gained The Jimmer. So. Enjoy it.

Now we can all look forward to awkward moment when the Thunder come back to Seattle for the first time.

It'll never happen, but calling 'em the "Seattle SuperKings" would be hilariously awesome.
