According to The Arizona Republic’s Jessica Roberts, delaying the vote will allow time for a pair of public hearings on the project, whereas if the Phoenix City Council shot down the proposal, it might kill future prospects for a deal. There are seven city council members and at least three are currently opposing the arena renovation plan. As Boehm explains, the Suns’ current arena lease runs through 2032, but that agreement includes a provision that would allow the franchise to opt … [Read more...] about Suns owner threatens to ship NBA franchise to Seattle
