Bla blah blah blah frickin blah.

Here's the simple math: the Maloofs need 16 votes to get NBA approval for relocation. Youngman himself notes how aimless an anti-trust suit would be.

So they need the votes, or they are "stuck in Sacramento." The relocation committee, a seven-member panel, is saying no. That panel doesn't include Jerry Buss (No. 8), Donald Sterling (No. 9) or Joe Lacob (No. 10), who are all reportedly opposed. (Buss and Sterling opposed for the obvious reason; Lacob is afraid of someone moving into San Jose if the Kings are allowed to zip into L.A.)

Can Samueli pay for those too? Otherwise, unless Anaheim's new math — its desperation math — changes Stern's mind, and Bennett's mind, and everyone else's mind, the only math that matters is the majority vote at the Board of Governors, at which Sacramento seems to have an 11-1 lead. I like our chances.
