By comparison, in 2008 when the\u00a0Oklahoma City Thunder\u00a0moved from Seattle, they paid a $30 million total fee to the other owners.<\/p>\n<p>To consider these incredible new figures, the NBA relocation committee is planning to re-evaluate the Hansen-Ballmer offer and has scheduled another meeting ahead of next Tuesday&#8217;s full owners meeting in Dallas, sources said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It is unknown how the Hansen group&#8217;s last ditch effort will sit with the NBA&#8217;s Board of Governors.\u00a0 The NBA has already stated that they will vote on the issue of relocation first and then the ownership stake.\u00a0 If the league turns down both the relocation and sale of the Kings to the Hansen group, it appears unlikely that the BOG would consider their new backup offer as an end-around to their initial ruling. \u00a0All team sales, including deals to sell minority interests, are subject to board approval.<\/p>\n<p>The group led by Hansen needs simple majority approval to relocate the Kings to Seattle and 75-percent approval from the league&#8217;s board to complete their purchase of the team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The current Kings owners continue to push the league to approve their deal with Seattle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[610259261],"tags":[610259996,35890,610259515,610259509,610260146,36143,76563,610259792,112062,6368103],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v22.2) -
