They would have been willing to sign a long-term lease with the Coyotes to keep them in the arena, which would have led to the Coyotes dropping the Tempe plans. Failing that (which seems to be what happened), they would most-likely just want to see the Coyotes leave town, which would also likely kill the Tempe arena deal.

It also sounds like they've resigned themselves to the Tempe arena getting built eventually if the chatter about them converting their venue to rodeo only is true.
But your reasoning is probably also why the Suns aren't willing to allow the Coyotes to play downtown.
