"I know he is making that effort," Cook said of the attorney. "I would expect by Monday or Tuesday next week he probably will make contact with him."
Cook said he thought Ellison "would be a good possibility" to buy the 65 percent interest in the Kings that is held by the Maloof family, which has announced a deal to sell their share to a group that would move the team to Seattle.
