The league is really saying that they're not closing the door on going to Kansas City.

However the fact that a) No one applied for expansion and prospective owner Hunt Jr. balked at the expansion fee and b) the city says the arena is profitable or at least will bring in more income to the city than having have major tennant. Both of these will make going there an uphill climb.

Now that the bar has been set at 500 million, I can't see them being a serious candidate.
