The Sacramento Kings had expressed an interest in relocating to Anaheim from their current stadium, Power Balance Pavilion (formerly ARCO Arena).https://www.espn.com/nba/allstar2011/news/story?id=6140807 Sources: Kings consider relocation 20 February 2011 On March 3, 2011, a lawyer representing the Maloof brothers (owners of the Kings) filed federal trademark applications for names for a new basketball team based in Anaheim. Those names included Anaheim Royals, Los Angeles Royals, Orange County Royals, and Anaheim Royals of Southern California. Of note, the city of Anaheim has mandated that any team playing at Honda Center must use "Anaheim" as its only geographic identifier. This requirement was made after the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim added 'Los Angeles' to their official name. On May 2, 2011, the Maloofs announced they were staying in Sacramento for at least one more season, to try to make things work with a new Sports and Entertainment Complex in Sacramento. Timeline of events July 1, 1997: Sacramento obtained a $70 million loan for the Kings. A "Team Owner's Relocation Assurance Agreement" recites that Kings agree to stay in Sacramento for 30 years or until the loan is repaid. But the contract includes a term prohibiting the City of Sacramento from preventing a relocation.Kindsvater Brian http://lawzilla.com/content/kings/ Sacramento Kings Becoming the Anaheim Royals 2011-04-08 November 8, 2003: As early as 2003, there had been speculation that the Kings may move to Anaheim. The Los Angeles Times reported that the Maloofs (then owners of the Kings) were interested in purchasing the then-Mighty Ducks of Anaheim who played (and still play) at the Arrowhead Pond/Honda Center. In that same article, Gavin Maloof was quoted as saying that "I think Anaheim would be a plus for the league. The arena is beautiful. The market is so rich. Three teams in that market, it could handle it." This, naturally, set off speculation that the Maloofs were considering a move to Orange County, however, a spokeswoman for the Maloofs quickly shot down the idea calling a possible Kings move to Anaheim "laughable."https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2003-nov-08-sp-pond8-story.html Maloofs Have Some Interest in Ducks Bill Shaikin Los Angeles Times 2003-11-08 2011-03-26 February 13, 2009: Speculation was renewed by the Orange County Register/Sacramento Bee that the Kings may be looking at Southern California as a possible new home.http://articles.ocregister.com/2009-02-13/sports/24655659_1_honda-center-ducks-general-manager-ducks-captain-scott-niedermayer-s/2 Ducks' Pronger shrugs off trade rumors Randy Youngman Orange County Register 2009-02-13 2011-03-26 https://web.archive.org/web/20110723013713/http://articles.ocregister.com/2009-02-13/sports/24655659_1_honda-center-ducks-general-manager-ducks-captain-scott-niedermayer-s/2 2011-07-23 dead September 23, 2010: Anaheim Ducks and Anaheim Arena Management owner Henry Samueli renewed his interest in an NBA franchise relocating to Honda Center.http://articles.ocregister.com/2010-09-23/sports/24625191_1_guilty-plea-decision-process-henry-and-susan-samueli/4 Ducks' Samuelis enjoy fresh start Eric Stephens Orange County Register 2010-09-23 2011-03-26 https://web.archive.org/web/20110723013839/http://articles.ocregister.com/2010-09-23/sports/24625191_1_guilty-plea-decision-process-henry-and-susan-samueli/4 2011-07-23 dead December 6, 2010: ESPN, Sports Illustrated, and other news agencies were reporting that Anaheim is on the NBA's short list for a possible franchise relocation.
