Hilarious take from a Blazer fan. If that's the case, Blazers moving to Seattle is a mere formality.haie said:

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.
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 -
Nobody in WA State cares about the Blazers. Vancouver hillbillies don't count.haie said:

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. -
Also, the NBA has a ratings problem.
https://deadspin.com/nba-tv-ratings-all-star-game-tnt-salt-lake-city-1850149749According to Sportico, NFL games accounted for 82 of the 100 most-watched U.S. broadcasts in 2022. That’s seven more than last year when the 2021 mark was 75 out of 100. College football had five of the top 100, political programming had four, the World Cup had three, and college basketball had two.
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. -
Seattle set all kinds of attendance records with the Sonics.
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. -
The Blazers have as much value to the league as the Magic or Thunder.haie said:

I tried to get into the Jailblazers to fill the Sonic void. I'm more into the Canucks and that's as a very casual fan and as someone who grew up 10 x more into basketball. The Kraken are gay.BleachedAnusDawg said:

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.
