This isn't about what you think will happen and not even what you want to happen. Obviously there are other alternatives but I was curious if these were your only two choices for how things play out at the BoG the next two days, which of the two would you pick?

Option A: The Maloofs cannot convince a majority of owners to let them file for relocation and the NBA and the Maloofs figure a way to resolve the pre-development issues; however, that's it, the status quo is kept and the ESC project moves along. The Maloofs keep ownership, the ESC project moves along with the pre-development costs issues dealt with but that's it. The only assurances we get from the Maloofs are a few interviews that they are "100% behind the project" but no special contract being signed guaranting the rest of the money, merely the league thinks the plan is fair and it will move along so long as everyone gets along. Please note, under this option we are assuming there are no assurances either way as to whether the Maloofs will hold up this project further down the road.

Option B: Again, the Maloofs cannot convince a majority of owners to let them file for relocation but the league has also called into question the Maloofs and their fiability as NBA franchise owners and the Maloofs begin to threaten an anti-trust suit against the league, arguing that the league's rules prohibiting relocation are an unlawful restrain on trade under Article 1 of the Sherman Act and also make a few other claims such as the Commissioner's Office has breached it's fiduciary duty with the Maloofs in its conduct and communications with the City and AEG. In the process, the current ESC plan is completely off schedule and all parties back out until the issue between the NBA and the Maloofs are resolved. Please note, under this option we are assuming there is no smoking gun either way, it's a toss up for all we know.

So, as a Kings fan, which option do you pick if you are stuck having to pick only between these two options?

For reference sake, here are the current rosters. The following is the list of team owner's StR usernames along with their respective teams.

Does he need Lebron? Durant? CP3? Psh, please. Rubio? Griffin? Yeah right. Funny team name? Fuck it, he rolls Primo style. And Primo don't need no stinking super stars or All-Rookie/Sophomores. And in the process, he will destroy the universe.

Below you'll find a recap of the comings and goings of the first two weeks of the Unofficial StR Fantasy Basketball League.

Back in June of 2010, BearKing (miss the bastard by the way) wrote a fanpost titled A Beautiful Mind. In the fanpost he talked about seeing some Barkely swagger in DMC and made the point that, "[I]nstead of looking at DeMarcus' qualities as a crutch that will be his end, why not see it as the FIRE that keeps his motor running and motivates him to become one of the elites?"

Anywho, for whatever reason the fanpost made me think enough to write entirely too much on my views on DMC who if everyone remembers I was a little nervous about. Basically, I am too lazy to write something new on DMC but I still feel the same way I did back then so I am just going to throw down a few of the comments below, although a little altered to make a little more sense in this context (okay one part I left out because dumb).

Okay, I’ll admit it: fantasy basketball is about the most useless thing ever, right along with YouTube basketball mix tape videos. But you know what? I LOVE YOUTUBE BASKETBALL MIXTAPE VIDEOS!!!I love nothing more than watching slow motion high definition slam dunks to horrible music and I sure as heck love playing fantasy basketball. But this time it’s far from frivolous because 11 of the greatest and most elite fantasy basketball competitors who were able to pass the rigors of sending me an email within a reasonable amount of time have decided to battle it out in a no holds barred steal gage death match known as 12-team, $200 auction, head-to-head fantasy basketball in order to achieve the greatest glory of them all. I present to you: The Saucy.

After the jump, a running diary of the Unofficial Sactown Royalty Basketball Draft presented with special holiday cheer and links and stupidity for everyone (don’t be afraid to click on the links on the player names within the text of the post because they are a bunch of stupid links and may include a ninja or two). Let the games begin!

Love your Kings and want to feel a closer connection to them but can't? On most days, I try to fill that void by doing things like looking at the Clark County Assessor's files on the Palms and laughing at how little that property is worth now compared to how much money was put into it by some guys who only have a 2% interest. Well no need for that now because all you need to do to fill that Kings basketball void is bid bid bid! Yes that's right, the very competitive Unofficial STR Fantasy Basketball League is wrapping up, but hell that was just a lockout exercise. Now it's time for the real thing: The Unofficial Fantasy Basketball League is here and it's going to be an auction league. Hey, you want Chris Paul on your team? Well, you can! The Malindas aren't willing to pay Chandler? Well, you can! Details below but if you are interested, go ahead and shoot me an email at wallywagon11@yahoo.com.

[Edit: just realized I never said it but this is an ESPN league.]

[UPDATE: As of 7:00 pm December 9th we only have three spots left

I know this has nothing to do with the Kings or the NBA or being a normal person.  Just wanted to see if the people of StR would be interested in another fantasy football league this year.  I set up a league over at ESPN.  12 team, basic settings, snake draft.  Draft order determined by who contacts me first so if you say nothing I'll bump you up to the top and if you ask for a specific spot I will put you there or as close as I can get while I get the left over spot at the end (for example, if you ask for the 10th spot and someone took it before you, I will first look at the 9 spot and then the 11 spot unless you tell me you really want to make sure you are in the back).  Draft would be on Tuesday, AUGUST 30th at 7pm Pacific Time.  Whether you are a commentor or just a lurker, you are invited.  All I ask is that you don't join if you aren't in it for the long hall because I am setting it up as a keeper league (2 players).  My email is wallywagon11@yahoo.com.  First come, first serve (usually check after work so might not return league info until the evening) and Kings related Kings names

Sorry, would do something a little more basketball related; however, considering there is nothing going on basketball related, well yeah.
