Kevin Johnson To Meet With David Stern At All-Star As City, League Near Term Sheet

by Tom Ziller on Feb 7, 2012 11:38 AM PST in Arena

R.E. Graswich, the chief of staff for Mayor Kevin Johnson, tweeted today from KJ's weekly Q&A with the media that the mayor said he will attend All-Star Weekend in Orlando later this month to speak with NBA commissioner David Stern about Sacramento's plan to build a new arena. Graswich also said that KJ called the city "close" to a term sheet with the league and, presumably, AEG.

But even if there is buy-in from the league and AEG, there remains one critical piece: the parking lease funding plan. The City Council is expected to vote on that matter on February 14. Stay tuned for info on how you can help.

Do you stay up all night

thinking up these witticisms?

Bill2 - February 7, 2012 reply

I stay up half the night

Thus, you get half-witticisms.

section214 - February 7, 2012 reply

But that is fast thinking

Not half-fast

Anyone mind explaining a term sheet?

I’ve heard it thrown around but don’t have a good grasp of what it is and entails

From Wikipedia:

A term sheet is a bullet-point document outlining the material terms and conditions of a business agreement. After a term sheet has been “executed”, it guides legal counsel in the preparation of a proposed “final agreement”. It then guides, but is not necessarily binding, as the signatories negotiate, usually with legal counsel, the final terms of their agreement.
A term sheet implies the terms of a business transaction, as proposed by a party. It may be either binding or non-binding.

I'm sure it couldn't hurt...

to have Musselman turn it into Powerpoint presentation.

Hey, while there can we ask him to void all trades and free agent signings of Dwight Howard that aren't with Sacramento?

wallywagon11 - February 7, 2012 reply

Screw Howard we have the CUZ!!

I would love a DMC Howard combo.

No one would stop that unless they have a time machine to form a big man combo of a young Shaq and young Hakeem.

SharkKings49 - February 7, 2012 reply

Other teams would kill us on 2nd chance points

Howard and Cousins would be knocking the ball out of each others’ hands going for boards.

#12Pick...who? - February 7, 2012 reply

We'd need a true shooter

No room in the paint with that combo. I’d give up Tyreke and one of the other bigs for DHoward – assuming the extension of course.

lietothegirls - February 7, 2012 reply

I support this request.

Tom Ziller - February 7, 2012 reply

I'll second that support

rstewartwest - February 7, 2012 reply

Hopefully

Isaiah and Jimmer will be there too playing against eachother in the rook/soph game in the new format putting on a shooting clinic. Cousins will of course be the MVP.

Pathos -

Fredette gets selected for the game, where he gets a DNP-CD.

section214 - February 7, 2012 reply

The Rookie Soph game format has changed this year

There will be a ‘draft’ and the teams will be mixed with both Rookies and Sophs.

Barkley and Shaq will be doing the drafting

lietothegirls - February 7, 2012 reply

I need to read comments more carefully (sigh)

lietothegirls - February 7, 2012 reply

Yes and thats why

I thought it would be cool if Jimmer and Isaiah were on opposing teams. Cousins will Obviously be there but you never know about the rooks. SHaq and Barkley aren’t looking at Sac too often. I beleive I read the NBA will decide whose in the pool. Isaiah might make it cuz his name is Isaiah Thomas and Shag and Barkley are Tards (not to be confused with retards, I’m not insensitive).
