Since Reke has truly become NaPG he has averaged 15.6 ppg with 4.1 RBs and 3.8 assists in the 32 minutes a game he has been playing. He has reduced his number of shots to 14 a game.

But the big stat is that he has hit over 48.8% of his shots since becoming NaSF.

I realize the bar is set very high for Reke, but even in this learning period of trying to play without the ball, he has stats that most 2 guards (yeah, I said it) would be proud to have.

He is already a very good NBA player, with 10-12 years left in his career. Those of you who are demanding trades for untried lottery picks, who have less than a 50% success rate, be prepared for years of regret.

Has anyone made contact with any of the fans who represented the Kings' fans at the last BofG meeting in New York last year? They were truly impressive and it would be nice if they were back there this time. Does anyone know who they were and if we would be able to reach out to them in some manner? Every little bit helps. I am down to my last 11 words....Get it done StR!

His response

Nice synopsis and I agree an opt-out clause is one solution (not without its cost as you note). The three questions you posit are certainly among the most important questions to answer. There are a few others, and time will tell how things go in negotiations with the parking proposers, as well as with the NBA, the team, AEG, and the Icon/Taylor group. But we’re certainly on the right track and in the best position we’ve ever been to finance a new arena.

My letter

I know a lot of you are uncomfortable with a 50 year parking lease (although I am not sure what is going to go so terribly wrong in 2044 that hasn't gone wrong prior to that). But there is an obvious solution, an opt-out at whatever time period you select.

As an example, say you are offered 270 million up front for a 50 year lease and 220 for a 30, you could choose to put in an opt-out opyion in the 50 year lease at the 30 mark where you just pay a pre-determined cost, say 60 million. You are free of your contract and have made almost as much as you would in a straight 30 year deal.One huge advantage to this even if you end up opting out; The ESC is built and the downtown railyards are revitalized.You may have to figure out how to come up with the 60 million in 2044, but I repeat Sacramento's new heart of the city is complete and the economy revitalized.

This deal hinges on 3 points to me;

1) Is there enough money from the parking to make the deal viable?

2) Is the 9 million in the general fund protected?

3) Is the city protected from cost overruns ?

If all three of these answers are yes, this is a no brainer, and Sacramento wil be well on its way to becoming the great city it can be.

Thanks for your time.
