NBA in Louisville: "The window is once more open."

I've never met Albrecht Stahmer, but I commend him for his recent essays at LouisvilleKy.com, where he has been making the case for resolving the predictable financial woes of the Yum! (groan) Brands Arena through tenanting. This means adding a tenant with a sufficient number of dates to make a difference, such as an NBA team.

Yes, I know what you're thinking: "But Roger, I have no intention of supporting the NBA, because I like my pros to pretend they're in college ... therefore, it's a bad idea."

Just read the article, okay?

Louisville, Seattle, Sacramento and the NBA

HoopsWorld NBA Editor Steve Kyler, a man in the know about the NBA, wrote an interesting piece on July 31 suggesting that the Sacramento Kings are all but done in their current hometown when their arena lease expires at the end of next season, meaning they will need a new home for the 2013-14 season.  This saga has been ongoing for almost two years now and in November 2010 served as the impetus for five young Louisville basketball fans to start a Facebook page called Bring the Sacramento Kings to Louisville, which between it and a sister page called Bring the NBA to Louisville, have almost 10,000 likes.
