    Mormons love to travel. When you are the center of an international Religion, people come to visit.

    Are people conveniently forgetting Salt Lake City hosted THE FUCKING WINTER OLYMPICS?????

    They actually have infrastructure for this kind of thing.

    We just don't get enough tourism. People don't want to visit here. They want to move here. There's a difference.

    David Stern who was commish back then wanted the Blazers to be moved to another city out of the NW. Paul Allen upright refused. This pissed Stern off to high hell. The NBA has hated us ever since in rebuke for Paul Allen's uncompromising refusal.

    As connected as I was back then, like literally being a part of the team, connected, I have never heard that. Not saying it's false, but never heard anything like that

    I'd be curious to see the source material, too. That story doesn't ring a bell in the slightest.

    If you think about it, when people talk about the merits of Portland, it's usually about what's within an hour (coast, mountains) drive, not about the city itself.
