Media Notes
In the absence of, you know, news, everyone wants to know color of Stern's tie. It's silver and blue. Another time it was purple #nbakingsBen Adler

Fan Buzz
An eerie silence has fallen over the battlefield. The end is near and the warriors tired. They wait for the signal. #nbakings #herewestayBrian Riley
Hoping for good news for #Sonics fans today. #NBAKings #NBASeattle. Not necessarily expecting it, but hoping.Ryan P. Harkins
@CarmichaelDave How can your kids eat at a time like this? Don't they know what's at stake! #nbakings.Jonnathan Rivas

The funniest part about the #nbakings is that you know all the players wanna go to Seattle. Just like how nobody wanted to be moved to OKCJonesy
No chance NBA approves #NBAKings relocation, but hoping for #Sonics expansion talks to gain traction as reported. #NBASeattlePhilip Morris
Hoping for good news from @KJMayorJohnson that the #nbakings are staying in #sacramentoBruce

I'm told the 3rd person Stern and Maloof are mtg with is one of the NBA's lawyers. #nbakingsBen Adler
