Yeah, this has stall tactic written all over it. They just want to make it look like they are trying.
I don't care if Arizona has a team. In fact, I like that there is a team there balancing out the geography of the league, and it's a big and growing market. But if they can't make it work, then maybe it's time move and try that market again once they get an arena in the works, in an area a casual fanbase doesn't mind driving to.
