Mayor Kevin Johnson and Kings co-owner George Maloof spoke again Tuesday morning and have decided to meet in person within the next few days in what will likely be a make-or-break session.
The mayor told reporters Tuesday that the next meeting will probably determine whether the city’s collapsed arena deal is back on, or if “we don’t have the makings of a deal.”
Asked how confident he was that a deal would be resurrected between the city and its NBA team, Johnson said he was “hopeful rather than confident.”
