SACRAMENTO, CA - Emails posted online by blog ranSACkedmedia show Kings owners the Maloof Family, were asking for things in the arena deal that the NBA told them not to.

The emails detailed negotiations between the NBA and George Maloof.

One email, dated Feb. 29, starts with
...more George Maloof listing items in the arena deal that concerned the owners: the Kings not wanting to put down collateral, something that would guarantee their loan if they default; not wanting to pay game day expenses nor municipal expenses and wanting to reduce the lease from 30 years to 15 years.

The items that the Maloof Family outlined baffled Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson one month ago in New York City.

"They would execute me in Sacramento if I came back with a deal with no collateral," Johnson said during a press conference.

With the game on the line, All-Stars LeBron James
or Dwyane Wade didn't take the final shot for Miami, and Indiana held on to
even their Eastern Conference semifinal series after two games. David West
scored 16 points and George Hill added 15, including a big free throw with
...more 14.1 seconds left, as the Pacers earned a 78-75 victory Tuesday night. The
Heat had a chance to tie at the buzzer, but a three-point try from Mario
Chalmers hit off the rim. James had 28 points and Wade scored 24 for the
shorthanded Heat, who shot just 34.6 percent and were outscored 28-14 in the
third quarter. The Heat captured the opener on Sunday with a 95-86 triumph,
but lost forward Chris Bosh to a lower abdominal strain. Miami will likely
not have Bosh back for the remainder of this series. Game 3 of the best-of-
seven series will be in Indianapolis on Thursday.
