They nearly moved to Anaheim, then Seattle.  Several times over the last few years, they appeared to be as good as gone.  But on Wednesday night, the NBA's Sacramento Kings open their 2013-14 season in the city they've played in for nearly 30 years, and where they'll likely stay for many more.  Here's a look back at all the ups, downs, setbacks and deals from 2006 to today.
