Do we currently have an owner that will spend money above and beyond? Paul Allen was that guy. We currently do not.

Usually in these cases, the leagues get involved. In this case, the NBA will get involved. They have a short list of potential buyers, people who have come forward previously and said, ‘hey, if a team ever goes on the market, I want to be on that list.’ The NBA has vetted those people, make sure they have money, make sure they don’t have any skeletons in the closet. But it’s going to be a matter of months. I don’t expect that we will see any changes this season. I think it’s going to be status quo, and then in the off-season this will probably get sorted out.” This is not good news... if the NBA is going to an short list of buyers that were on a pre existing list, then it’s definitely not a local buyer, and good chance team moves in future
Teams getting a new owner doesn't mean there's a good chance the team moves. It just means there's a chance.
It must suck to always look at things from a negative point of view. Your post is angry and uninfirmed
How is it "angry and uniformed". All he posted was: This is not good news... if the NBA is going to an short list of buyers that were on a pre existing list, then it’s definitely not a local buyer, and good chance team moves in future. The rest was a quote. I fail to see the anger or misinformation here. Its rational speculation.
There’s a chance any team moves “in the future”. People are just scared of the unknown, but at the end of the day, none of us can do a thing about it either way.
It says there are people who want to be on the list. People who are potential buyers who they have already vetted. That doesn't mean they are ONLY using the list.
I'm fully aware of what was his quote and what came from the article. The "definitely" not a local owner is not a given from the article
Who are the pre-vetted local owners? I haven't heard any local Portlander or Oregonian express any interest in any previous NBA franchise purchases. Terry Porter's group from 2006? http://www.espn.com/nba/news/story?id=2410098
