If Blazers moved to Seatlle and became the Sonics would you still root for them?

    If they become the Sonics then I'm officially out. "Loyalty" has to work both ways.

    If the Seahawks moved to Portland I might start paying attention. As it is, I don't because they are not in my town.

    Its all business. If they moved to seattle because portland decided they didnt want to go to the games, i couldnt be mad at the decision. If they said fuck portland and left even though the rose garden is packed full, then yes i would be bitter and pissed off.

    I doubt they'd keep the name or logo. Probably call them the "Sonics" or something like that.

    In which case, The HCP's Blazers tattoo would be retro, vintage, and collector's item. Hmm...might make a cool lamp shade.... :evilwait:

    That's what I thought. I knew you were a long distance fan, just couldn't remember if you grew up in PDX.

    I would suspect that there'd be far more outrage in Portland than there was in Seattle. They're used to teams threatening to leave (or leaving).

    There would be riots (well, metaphorically speaking) if the team left. And if the team left and the history/name wasn't left in Portland it would be a miracle.

    Not sure why, other then bored between games, this is something to worry about.

    Not even if they moved to Seattle to be the Seattle TrailBlazers. I'd stop following the NBA.

    A) There was no Northwest Division in 2000. Blazers were in the Pacific Division.

    And

    B) The Blazers didn't win the Pacific Division.

    It'd be ok, the lakers would move to PDX to become the Portland Lakers, and we could all wear purple and cheer for Kobe.
