Dallas Mavericks choose Valley View site for new arena and entertainment district

"Perhaps ironically, the Mavericks’ AAC co-tenant, the Dallas Stars, have been negotiating with the City of Plano to potentially build an arena on the site of Willow Bend Mall.

"The Stars probably had been thinking that come 2031, at long last, they would be well-separated from the Mavericks, their co-tenant since the early 1990s at Reunion Arena.

"But in the wake of Monday’s news, North Texas’ NBA and NHL franchises seem destined, starting in 2031, to be Dallas North Tollway somewhat-neighbors, 8.7 miles apart."

Seemed like a matter of time before the mavs fucked over the city, though it's not like the city has been helpful to the Stars.

Is plano a forgone conclusion, or is Gagliardi just biding time to see what dumb deal the mavs get into before calling his shot?
