Las Vegas will probably never have an NBA team, or at least as long as Stern is Commissioner. Don't worry about that. But I do agree that the Maloofs need to stop playing games and just take a hard line on this.

If they'll leave if an arena doesn't get built, they ought tell the people that! It's the only thing that will get their attention. Most people see no need to get an arena. If it's as clear a choice as arena or no Kings, people can make a decision and we can get on with our lives. If people care enough about the Kings to build an arena, great. If not, the Kings can leave, fair and square.
