I'm not sure what the alternative was, said owner was put in the situation by the collapse of the US economy and it's impact on his other businesses. Unless the argument is that Bettman should have foreseen that the US economy was leveraged on the backs of RMBS and that the dominos would eventually fall on the owner in Phoenix I don't see what backup plan could have been made. Should there be an ownership group held in reserve for every market in the league just in case something happens? That's not a realistic expectation.
