This franchise is on the upswing and has top value right now. If the city doesn't want to do what it takes to keep the team here you can bet the hidden message in today's news conference was that the team is available. Suitors will be in touch and everything will be done quietly until a deal is made. I wish I was wrong about this but think about it. It's only common sense....
The owners legitimately wanted a legacy project with the west village. They could make money with the side developments other than the arena / stadium. I don't blame the owners. They are as bummed out as we are. People should stop beating on them. At lot of cities would have jumped on the chance to develop that diseased land.
