Overall, he didn't necessarily have to go to a big city/market team; after all, he didn't have James' desire to create some sort of business empire.
What he wanted was a place where the owner was willing to invest in the team.
"Actually, I have a rather immature suggestion," Rondo chimed in,
"The Kings."
"Become a real King?" Hansen joked, having never considered this option before.
Sacramento wasn't a big basketball market, not even a big city; the local economy lagged behind, and with the team's poor performance over the years, many Kings fans would rather drive to Oakland to watch the Warriors play.
However, to Hansen's surprise, Rondo nodded.
As Ajalee was the apple of her father's eye, Hansen, as her boyfriend, would have unprecedented influence over the team.
There was no need for tactics like James' refusal to start games to pressure the team to pay his teammates well because all Hansen needed to do was give Ajalee a call.
