This IS a place players love to reside.. but if the previous owner didn't want to spend.. of course FA's wouldn't be on their way. I'm not saying losing didn't hurt.

Get Hulsizer in here along with Don Maloney and Dave Tippet.. Golden
there seems to be lot of faith in this guy...not sure why?

if the team in phx was such a viable venture, he should just buy it outright. Of course, getting some incentives from the city is good business, but there's a difference between, say zero taxes vs a flat out payment.

i think, if this goes through, the city of phoenix is going to regret it in 5 years.
