BTW, I wouldn't put too much weight on the league's support of leaving the Kings in Sactown. That franchise has already moved twice, so for the NBA to admit that Sactown was a mistake would have been rather humiliating.
It wasnt directed at any one individual. Most all s2 posters are assholes. Its not an insult, its a fact.
Oh, you mean like how I can say that this post is a huge steaming pile of shit and it's not against the rules?
To the topic at hand, I haven't really heard anything I'd think was substantial for even rumors of the Blazers moving. It's all been just "gossip" type stuff with no real substance as far as I know. I certainly don't think Portland is like a Holy City of NBA Basketball that they would never leave, but I believe that at least for now I think the incentives are much more in favor of staying. There is always some uncertainty when there may be an ownership change, but the NBA looks bad when they alienate markets, so the financial incentive would need to be really high for them to consider moving.
They elected a dead brothel owner as member of the 36th senate district. In Nevada anything can happen and nothing is cheaper. New Name- Las Vegas Brassieres
Just an observation (that I know will outrage some of you). The official narrative with the Sonics has been that the city could not sustain a team, and it was after reaching that conclusion that the league decided that the team should be sold to the OKC group. Really? Isn't it equally likely they picked the OKC group and then claimed Seattle was a horrible place to rationalize the move? The point is, no one can honestly claim the Blazers won't be moved until the buyer is known. If the league decides to bless a seller who wants to move the team - it will be moved.
I know of a contract that says you are wrong. But don't let that get in the way of your premise. Very entertaining.
Literally, every contract has ways out if they want to bad enough. However, I don't believe there is any real danger to the Blazers leaving anytime soon, I think they are signed with the Rose Garden until 2025 or something like that.
