Fuck you David Stern, you surly, vindictive prick.

NBA doesn't want more colder climate cities. Free agents don't want to play there. Harder to maintain parity in a league that already struggles for it as is.
Fuck him with a red hot poker AND an AIDs infested cheese grater.
NBA just wants one franchise in the NW and Blazers are an old enough brand to leave where they are. They get Oregon and Washington State residents into them.
NBA doesn't like competing with all those other brands in Seattle. They'd rather have a new team in Vegas.
And have far more national fans than the Blazers
And Portland is little bro and Washington's ass
If the league expands it's not going to have an odd-number. It will be Seattle and Vegas. They "compete" with all the other major sports in many other markets.

Do you want to know how many the NBA had?
ZERO!
Blazers to Seattle. Cook it. If only one NW team, Portland’s NBA days are numbered. The team is for sale soon.
Blazers are a classic franchise. Paul Allen made it so. It was his passion.
I don't hate Seattle basketball fans. Oh wait, yes I do. Invest your money in UW men's bball.
You got a hockey team instead. I like them. Don't love them, but it's cool to watch NHL through them.
Fuck off.
We will be sure to let Portland keep their name and history when the team relocates to Seattle.
Don’t worry, Ja Morant Trail Blazers II is on your way. Or New Orleans. Or OKC…
Either way, two teams plus will be in the NW.
You can't kill or move Portland at this point.
NBA has no desire to put in a second Northwest team.
Similar to why Portland is never getting an MLB team with the Mariners already there.
