The greater L.A. area gave up on two NFL franchises because they were losers. The Clippers benefit from playing in the same building as the Lakers. (Kinda like the Lakers J.V. team )
the average attendance for the Clippers in the L.A sports arena before moving to the Staples center was round 11,000 ...The year the Clippers moved to the Staples center 1999-2000 the attendance jumped to over 13,000 per game and is now at 15 to 16,000 a game.

If the clippers played elsewhere in L.A. would they get the support they get now?

The Kings are rebuilding and have the 2nd worst record in the league. The People in Orange County will probably welcome their new NBA team with open arms at first. Have a parade at Disneyland and Downtown Disney and then show up to the first 20 games or so.

The Kings (opps Royals) will not a playoff team anytime soon. When they continue to win under 25 games a year ...does anyone really think the So Cals will support them when all they have to do is switch the channel to the Laker game.

For the record I am a Warriors fan but I think it is crazy for the NBA to put a 3rd team in the L.A. Its bad for the league. period.

Anaheim already has a successful hockey team and a baseball team. The Kings coming to Anaheim would be great for the city. I've been a Lakers fan ever since. The Kings coming to Anaheim isn't going to change that.
The city would give the Kings a fan base and financial stability. If a hockey team can thrive in Anaheim, how much more a basketball team.
Go for it!
