http://www.sacbee.com/2013/05/08/5406109/sacramento-group-is-asked-to-put.html With an NBA vote on the future of the Sacramento Kings just a week away, a source says the league is encouraging a Sacramento business group to put 100 percent of its $341 million team purchase offer into an escrow account in hopes of persuading the Maloof family, which owns the team, to sign a deal with the local group. 離NBA投票決定國王未來的日子只剩一個禮拜，一來源指出聯盟正在鼓勵(建議?)沙城方將他們競標金額(341M)全部放進escrow account裡，為的就是要說服馬魯夫家族來跟沙城方簽約。 A league source familiar with the situation said NBA officials are suggesting the private investment group led by Silicon Valley entrepreneur Vivek Ranadive make the move to prove it has the wherewithal to sign what has been described as a backup offer to purchase the team. 一熟悉情況的聯盟來源指出NBA官方建議Vivek方能夠做出這樣的舉動證明自己是有能力買下球隊。 The Maloof family has expressed concerns privately about the financing of the Ranadive group, which includes the Jacobs family of San Diego, owners of Qualcomm Co. 馬魯夫家族對於Ranadive團隊的經濟能力表示關心。 Ranadive's group already has put 50 percent of its team purchase offer into an escrow account, sources said. Putting the entire amount down would help "alleviate the Maloofs' concern, and greatly increase the likelihood a deal could get done," the source said. Ranadive團隊先前已經將競標金額的50%放進帳戶裡。全數存入將會減低馬老闆的疑惑，而且大大提高完成合約的可能性。 The Ranadive group declined official comment Wednesday, but a source close to the Ranadive group said it remains in regular communication with NBA officials about its offer to buy the team. An NBA spokesman did not respond to a Bee request for comment. Ranadive團隊拒絕正式回應，但親信指出和NBA官方對於買下球隊的金額還有密切地討論，NBA發言人也沒有回應這樣的說詞。 A competing Seattle group reportedly has placed 100 percent of its higher, $357 million offer into an escrow account. The Maloof family signed a sales deal with the Seattle group several months ago, but has indicated it is willing to accept a backup offer - if that offer is firm and binding - in case the NBA rejects the Seattle deal. 西雅圖團隊據報導已經將357M全數放進帳戶裡。幾個月前馬老闆已經簽定合約賣給西雅圖團隊，但馬老闆看起來似乎也願意接受替代方案，只要那方案是穩固的。 League owners are scheduled to meet in Dallas on May 15 in an extraordinary session to discuss and likely vote on the future of the Kings. General speculation is that the long-running Kings saga could come to a conclusion at that meeting. 各老闆們排定5/15在達拉斯開會，討論以及很有可能就投票決定國王的未來。普遍推測國王人生將會在那次會議有個結果。 The league's relocation committee voted 7-0 last week to recommend that the league deny a request by the Maloofs to be allowed to move the team to Seattle this year. A separate advisory/finance committee had been expected to vote its recommendation on the sales deal to the Seattle group but has not yet taken that vote. 上個禮拜聯盟的搬遷委員會以7-0的票數建議拒絕馬老闆提出將球隊搬到西雅圖的要求。 League officials say it is not yet certain what vote will be taken at the Dallas meeting. League officials have said it is likely the 30-member board of governors, made up of ownership representatives from each team, will vote on the relocation issue, and possibly on the Seattle sale. 聯盟官方是說還沒確定在達拉斯的會議就一定會投票。官方是說很有可能30位的董事或代表將會投關於搬遷的事，以及有可能會投關於賣給西雅圖的事。 The league source said it also is possible the board could vote on a Sacramento sale, if the local group and the Maloof family come to an agreement on a backup offer. 聯盟來源指出也有可能會投關於賣給沙城方的事，只要當地的集團和馬魯夫家族已經達成協議 "Everything could be buttoned up May 15," the source said. "It's not outside the realm of possibility." 「每件事可能都會在5/15有個結果，不是不可能」來源說 In an effort to sweeten his offer to the NBA, Ranadive recently told the league he will forgo a share of league revenue-sharing funds - culled from the league's higher moneymaking teams - once the Kings are playing in a new downtown arena. Ranadive一直在努力提高條件，最近也告訴聯盟他將會放棄聯盟收入共享，只要國王一旦在新場館比賽。 The offer by Ranadive is expected to make it easier for league owners to approve keeping the team in Sacramento, a smaller-market city, rather than move it to Seattle, a larger market. 這都被認為對於大老闆們而言會比較容易答應將球隊留在沙城這個小城市，而不是搬到西雅圖這個大城市。 Spokesmen for the Maloofs declined comment Wednesday. A spokesman for the Seattle group could not be reached for comment. 馬老闆的發言人也拒絕評論，西雅圖的也是。 ================================================================= 拜託來一槍斃命吧，不要再拖了。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 219.84.246.203
