This adds some legitimacy to these plans, although I remain incredibly skeptical.

I wish them the best and I hope it happens. With or without these plans the Sixers still belong in Center City. It is my understanding the organization wants to be in the middle of the action on day one. Not in the middle of an incremental construction site that will be built out in 20 years. This article says 10. Which theoretically means it will be all wrapped up say 5 years after the Sixers open their new arena.

I call bullshit.
