for a long time: a possible new basketball arena next to AT&T Park. What’s different about it now is that new owners Joe Lacob and Peter Guber appear to want to make it happen. Lacob tells the Chronicle “the potential for building an arena near AT&T Park is very exciting.”Add: At least the new Warriors regime is being diplomatic. Before meeting with Lee and Giants CEO Larry Baer, they met with Oakland Mayor Jean Quan and assured her that their development options also include Oakland.
Noted: The Warriors’ lease at Oracle Arena runs through the 2016-17 season.
