Are the Blazers moving to Seattle too?
-
Imagine being forced to live in Portland
-
Any relation to Drew Holiday?
-
35 year old Holiday is the missing piece.
I'm fine with no local team given what the modern NBA has become.

PUMP MY GAS, BLAZER!

2 time NBA champion. Former teams didn't win it after he left.
-
I'm happy to wager whatever you like on the Blazers not winning a championship next year.

🥴
How many times have you "predicted" that the team was leaving Portland again?
I am literally listening to a radio interview, right now, where they're saying that the NBA has no interest in moving any more teams.

Still waiting on that offer from Uncle Phil.
-
Things change. Phil was committed to bringing a championship to Portland and my sources were firm on that until they weren't. Sounds like Sonics fans can't handle the ups and downs of a real basketball city making moves. Sad.
-
Justin Holiday’s younger brother has a few million reasons to get over the trade. Some of these Celtic moves don’t happen if Jason Tatum isn’t out for a season. And if he doesn’t want to play in Portland he can ask for a trade or threaten to retire.

Shut down the franchise. They overdrafted that dude by 20 picks.
-
The fans and talking heads both sit there and talk about how worthless every pick is after #4 or 5 and will then shit their pants because they were supposed to take a kid in the 2nd round.
The have to offload at least a center now and then figure out what the plan is long term without a single guy on the roster that can create off the dribble now that Simons is gone.

Blazers Cuog'd it by trading the Cuog/Aegle
Coward is legit.

Damn. Plus stole Chinese Joker from the Draft?
Mods? Is this even fair?!

What did you think of Silver's threat to Portland about a new arena getting done while talking about Seattle's expansion prospects?
-
What expansion prospects?
I didn't care about the comments about a new arena, but it has been covered down here. The NBA is such a pile of shit that everyone that owns a teams wants to be in an "entertainment" district that can have shit going on year round.
Obviously, the area around Moda will probably never be that. Covid killed it all and the few times I've walked around before a game I didn't envision it ever being that, and a key property you'd have to buy is too expensive/owner is stubborn or something.
The team isn't moving, and Moda is a still a great venue even after all these years. I've been to enough pro and college venues to confidently say that.
But what will happen is that the new owner will want to build a new arena/district South or West of Portland proper.
Plus, if the franchise was in any danger Lillard wouldnt be coming back here to set up his post-career goals, which might include being a part of the ownership group. Nobody down here is worried.
