NBA commissioner David Stern believes the Mark Mostrov-Ron Burkle group's proposal to keep the Kings in Sacramento has legitimate support but must be increased to seriously challenge the offer from a Seattle group.
"[The Sacramento group has] strong people behind it but not quite there compared to Seatle bid," Stern said Friday.
Stern added he expects a comparable offer from the Sacramento group at some point while making clear the bid is not there yet.
Stern also does not expect expansion to the NBA any time soon.
