http://0rz.tw/anCr1 Sacramento Kings sale reports are premature, say sources After saying for years they would never sell their basketball team, members of the Maloof family now appear close to unloading the Sacramento Kings to an out-of-town group for what could be a record price. 好几年来，马老板一家都说他们绝对不会卖球队，但是现在他们看起来已经无法负荷国王， 将把国王以破纪录的价格卖给某城市的财团。 Sources told The Bee on Wednesday that the family has been talking with a deep-pocketed Seattle investment group about a sale and team move to that city. One report pegged the sales price at an NBA record of $500 million or more. But, during a whipsaw day of Internet rumors about a possible secret sale, two sources with knowledge of the situation adamantly told The Bee no deal is done and no formal offer has been made 消息来源表示星期三马老板一家与有钱的西雅图投资集团讨论有关出售与搬迁国王队。 有消息指出价格将会是破纪录的500M或更高。 网路上的传言指出，有可能已经有秘密交易。但是，有两个消息来源告诉蜂报并没有达成 协议而且也没有任何正式的合约。 Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson reacted late in the day, holding a news conference to say he is trying to recruit local buyers for the Kings. "For the first time, they have publicly shown the desire to sell the team," he said of the Maloofs. He declined to identify potential local bidders, but said he has been hearing from people since plans for a new arena downtown fell apart last spring. "I heard from a number of people who said, 'If the team was ever for sale, let us know.' " 沙加缅度市市长Kevin Johnson稍晚表示，他正在试图招募当地的买家来买国王。 「这是他们第一次公开表示要卖掉国王队。」市长对於马老板一家这麽说。 他拒绝透漏那些当地买家，但是他自从去年新场馆破局後就有听说一些人有兴趣。 「我听到很多人这样说：『如果队伍要卖了，告诉我。』」 For now, though, Sacramento finds itself again on the sidelines, similar to its position two years ago when news broke that the Maloofs were planning to move the team to Anaheim. That deal eventually fell through after the NBA persuaded the Maloofs to keep the team in Sacramento for another year. 现在沙加缅度发现他们又一次站在悬崖边，就像是两年前马老板想把球队迁到安纳罕。 这协议最後因为马老板被NBA官方说服把球队留在沙加缅度一年而告吹。 One source, who declined to be named because he is not authorized to speak on the matter, told The Bee that discussions between the Kings and Seattle financier Chris Hansen are only "conceptual" at this point. 不具名消息来源表示，国王与西雅图金融家Chris Hansen的协议仅仅是「概念上的」。 Another source characterized media reports Wednesday of a potential sale as "premature," and said the Seattle group has not made a formal offer. Still, the news reflects a dramatic shift by the Maloof family. The team's two most active owners, Joe and Gavin Maloof, previously said they would never repeat the mistake their family made in 1982 when it sold the Houston Rockets. 另一个消息来源在一个媒体上表示，这个潜在交易是「过早的」，而且说西雅图财团 还没提正式合约。 不过，这新闻反映了马老板的戏剧性转变。国王两个最重要的拥有人，Joe Maloof 还有Gavin Maloof，说他们绝对不会再重蹈他们家族1982年卖掉休士顿火箭的覆辙。 Faced with a tough financial picture in their 13th season as Kings owners, the family has crossed an emotional threshold, sources said. "If someone was to put a crazy number on the table, their perspective could change," said a source with connections to the team. "If somebody like a Hansen were to actually make an offer, which hasn't happened yet, and that offer was ridiculous, things could change. "Nothing crazy has happened yet." 消息人士指出，在他们拥有国王的第13年，马老板一家的财务状况已经很吃紧。 「如果有人现在提出用一个很疯狂的价格收购国王，那他们很可能会改变立场。」 「如果有人，比方说是Hansen，真正提出一个报价，不过这件事还没发生，而且那个 报价是非常荒谬的(高)，那他们就会改变。」 「不过还没有发生这种疯狂的事。」 ================= 後面还很长 暂时只翻了1/3 有人想要帮忙接手吗? 不然我晚一点再翻後面 --
