Sacramento mayor and former NBA player Kevin Johnson has been talking for weeks as if it's a foregone conclusion that the Kings are headed to Anaheim next season.  On Monday he said that the Maloofs have one foot and “three toes, maybe four” on the other foot out his city’s door.

The team-owned and produced radio show on local station KHTK that runs weekly, “Kings Talk,” will, according to sources, no longer be taking phone calls from listeners because of the nonstop questions about the Kings' future that only the Maloofs could answer.

In Anaheim, the Kings would be a tenant in the Honda Center, currently home to the Ducks hockey team.  And while no one is sure what kind of fan base they will be able to generate as the third team in the Southern California market, the television rights revenues that could quadruple the Kings’ current contract and the chance to be more competitive in a large market are clearly motivation enough for the Maloofs.
