My thought is the seasons overlap and getting there first could put them first in line for corporate and fan support. There could be a lot of both that are going to jump on the first bandwagon that rolls into town.

The problem is that the city has specifically said that construction of the arena cannot begin until there is an NBA tenant. Granted, the NHL team could gamble but there's really no other suitable facility for more than a season or two.
