The neighborhood earned its stripes as a dangerous, seedy district and it will reinvent itself just fine without proactive intervention. We don't want it to become Sundance Square. Deep Ellum:

With the Mavs looking old and on the downward slope, they no longer have a pick to start to reload their team. Foster is a good shooter, but he has virtually no chance of getting any burn in Dallas unless the team decides not to sign any guards this summer in free agency.

We can't unfortunately send him to jail, but Waller can bankrupt him. I hope Mr. Waller sues the pants off of Bill Hill, individually.
