re: What happens first… Gayle dives into the luxury tax or coughs up money for new arena?

You are saying it's costing the Pelicans money and then agreeing with the next post that this isn't about the Pelicans. Which is it?

Who gives af what Lebron or anybody else who was never gonna play here anyway thinks. We aren't missing out on FAs because of the arena. You're relying on national "experts" to inform you opinion on the arena being the worst. The fan experience isn't significantly worse than most arenas.

I'll grant the argument that amenities needed for concerts and other events may not be up to par, but we have other venues in the city. New Orleans hosts more large events than any city in the country.
