Who knows what will happen but I think that the other owners would be loathe to force a fellow owner to sell their team so I am betting on 1 or 2 but hope for 3. If 2 happens then maybe the Maloofs will decide to sell the team anyway. As was suggested, I am popping my corn.

I agree with this. I think option 1 is more difficult than you may realize though. This is the deal that the NBA itself put together with the city of Sacramento. The NBA already said this was a good and fair deal. Why would they change their minds now? The other part is there are other small market teams in need of new arenas. If they allow the Maloofs to leave when Sac did their part, then those other owners could instantly lose trust from their own markets.
