07:59 AM ET 01.11 | Not so fast? The Maloof family will listen to offers to sell the Sacramento Kings, but it might not be willing to walk away from the team entirely -- creating a possible snag in the team's rumored move to Seattle. The Seattle Times learned from an NBA source Thursday that the family that owns the Kings wants to keep a say in how the team is run, even if they sell it to Chris Hansen, who has a deal in place to build a new arena in Seattle if he can buy a team to play in it. The Maloof family has owned the team since 1998. Brothers Joe and Gavin -- the two oldest of the five-member family -- have been particularly involved and visible presences in the franchise since day one.

Why should the Maloofs care? Hansen's group will run the team far better than those two bozos ever have. Besides, once you sell it, YOU SELL IT.
