It makes no difference what their intentions were, they tried to fulfull the contract. Schultz's lawyers will have to prove otherwise and they won't be able to. If every business deal was predicated on intentions and not on deed, no deal would go through. Many people have alternate plans if things don't work out. Seattle was given a chance to make the contract work and they dropped the ball. If Bennett and company had not given them the opportunity to build the arena, then there would have been a breach of the contract. They did, so there is no breach. You can argue the intentions all you want. Seattle and Washington state failed to make it possible to keep the team there. If the court rules otherwise, you must question bias on their part.
