National Basketball League Association(NEW YORK) — It looks like the Sacramento Kings may stay put. The NBA and the Sacramento Kings announced Monday a tentative deal to keep the Kings in Sacramento.
After three days of talking, Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, NBA commissioner David Stern and the Maloof family announced they had agreed upon the framework of a deal to build a new arena.
“I think it’s great for our community,” Kings Co-Owner Gavin Maloof said. “I’m glad that it’s finally coming to an end after 13-years. It’s been a long road. “
The agreement will be voted upon by the City Council on March 6.
