The Suns are Phoenix's team, they have and will continue to get political benefits that others couldn't.
There's a reason why the Auction was cancelled more than just distrust of Meruelo. It was politically motivated from the City of Phoenix to push AM out to make this path available with the Suns. (My opinion, but also considering my local conversations with people who are involved politically in the Valley)
I believe this will happen, and is the only path forward for the NHL to return here but I think it's a 5-10 year proposition at this point.
