[Cousins15 (孩子王)]

A flurry of tweets

謠言散播源頭

According to a source with knowledge of family finances, but who was not
authorized to speak publicly, the Maloofs may have been forced into the
decision to consider a sale.

根據家族內部消息人士表示:Maloofs 家族早就想賣了。

The team is $200 million in debt, and could lose between $6 million and $7
million during the current NBA season. That loss was largely a result of the
team's increased payroll this year after the NBA's new collective bargaining
agreement mandated teams must carry payrolls of at least $49 million, the
source said. The Kings' payroll reportedly is $57.9 million for the current
season, about $13 million more than last year.

國王的債務狀況，是由現在的 $200 million ，今年還要損失$6 million 至$7 million

而根據新版CBA的規定。每一隊的payroll 下限至少要$49 million
而目前國王的payroll 是在$57.9 million ，比去年多了 $13 million

簡單來說，入不敷出。

The Maloofs intend to make a capital call to the minority owners of the
Kings, seeking contributions to help cover the projected loss, according to
the source – a development the source described as a potential "triggering
event" for a sale of the Kings.

來源表示，Maloofs 曾經要求公開的呼籲小股東捐款救球隊
，尋求經濟上的援助去彌補上述的損失
不然，『突發事件』將可能發生。

On Wednesday, several national media reports said a sale is near. A USA Today
report said the Seattle group, headed by Hansen and Microsoft CEO Steve
Ballmer, is confident a deal will get done.

在週三，謠言接近成真。 USA Today 報導 Hansen 跟 微軟 CEO Steve Ballmer
將會得到國王隊。

Yahoo Sports went further, saying the two sides are close to signing a
roughly $500 million deal. The report said the team would play at old
KeyArena in Seattle for two years, then move into a proposed new arena south
of downtown.

Yahoo Sports 隨後跟進，報導了這將是一筆5億美元的生意。
Yahoo 的報導還指出，球隊會在2013-2014, 2014-2015
待在西雅圖的舊球場KeyArena打個兩季
然後兩年後新場館建成再搬去新場館。

If the Kings do reach an agreement to sell, the move could not occur until
next season, and would require approval from fellow NBA owners. The deadline
for teams to file for relocation is March 11.

如果生意做成，還要等聯盟老闆們的共同審核。
提交的期限是3/11
而球隊會在下一季13-14搬去西雅圖。

Kings representative Eric Rose told The Bee on Wednesday that the team had
nothing to report. Rose has previously acknowledged that the Kings have been
approached by numerous cities interested in wooing the team.

國王代表先前表示，很多城市對國王隊有興趣
而現在卻說:無可奉告。

The flurry of speculation about a Seattle deal began oddly. Late Tuesday
night, a food blogger whose father is a basketball agent tweeted excitedly
that a deal between the Kings and the Seattle group was complete. She offered
no source and later removed the post, but not before it was spread by more
than 300 other Twitter users.

消息最早是從星期二晚上。一位部落客的從身為運動經紀人的爸爸口中得知
國王要賣掉了，她在Twitter 上發表此一消息然後隨即刪除
但消息已經被其他超過300 位的部落客散播。

Reports swung wildly, from initial posts saying the deal was done to later
reports that the have rejected Seattle's overtures.

消息變來變去，一下說球隊已經決定要賣了，一下說Maloofs 又反悔了。

NBA officials declined comment Wednesday, as did a representative for Hansen.

NBA官方跟Hansen的代表都三緘其口。

Hansen has been working for the last year to bring NBA basketball back to
Seattle. The SuperSonics left the city following the 2007-2008 season.
Hansen's investor group has signed a financing deal with the city and county,
purchased the land for the arena and launched an environmental review for
construction of a $490 million facility.

Hansen 從去年就積極運作要將西雅圖帶回一隻NBA球隊
距離西雅圖超音速離開這座城市已經6年的時間。

Hansen 早已在西雅圖做好萬全準備。
包括:
跟政府簽署了相關經濟協議
完成建立4.9億的新球館的環境評估。

In an afternoon news conference, Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn said "the next
piece of the puzzle" is for Hansen's group to buy a team, but he said he
could not confirm any deal with the Kings. He said he had not spoken to
Hansen since that day's rumors surfaced.

西雅圖市長在例行的新聞發佈會上說此一交易是『未來市政的一大建樹』。
但他說目前他聯絡不到兩邊相關當事人(國王、Hansen)
