A Sacramento investors group has reached a deal with the Maloof family to buy the Kings for an NBA record valuation of $535 million, a source has told The Sacramento Bee.

The agreement, reached today, is expected to be announced sometime Friday. If the NBA approves the deal, escrow is expected to close at the end of May.

The source, close to the deal, said the Maloof family was eager to "turn the page" and was pleased they were able to sell to a group that will keep the team in Sacramento.

The source said more details will be released Friday, including statements from partners in the deal.

A spokesman for the Sacramento investment group, led by Vivek Ranadive, said he could not confirm that a sale had been completed. A spokesman for the Maloof family also said he could not comment.

Everyone should watch the Sonicsgate documentary. The last line really struck a chord with me. One of the Seattle citizens (I think he was an artist) said that he would love to get back a team in his great city, but he does not want to put another city through the heartbreak they went through.
