    With Damian as the first player ever to be in a movie about Space and actually go to space!

    Maybe someone will pay for a bulletin board begging Elon to buy the Blazers!

    On the serious, he is an investor and from what i know(not much), for the elite rich, pro sports franchise are a near slam dunk investment?

    The owners make $$$$$$ off of expansion fees, they make nothing if the Blazers relocate.

    Good point. I was more so referring to the potential next owner of the Blazers specifically though.

    Think of the security and insurance policies they would need though.

    Sadly, I think she spends it on actual worthy causes. We are not the Boys and Girls Club.

    The league would not sanction a move, period.

    It's bad for business, bad for the NBA brand, bad for their fans/customers, bad for Portland, and very bad PR. Additionally, the team is beloved here - that's not insignificant; the uproar would be huge, and not just here. If they wouldn't let the Kings move - and they wouldn't - the definitely won't let the Blazers move.

    Ballmer didn't move the Clippers to Seattle. I wonder why? Because 1. Yes, L.A. is lucrative, even in the Lakers' shadow, but also, 2. The league doesn't sanction moves hardly ever.

    Just get in with the local drug mafia for a local, reduced cost, and have real street protection.

    Spitballing. Phil's brand is across the sporting universe. It may be marketing's view that being associated with the Ducks is enough micro when he's really about appealing macro.

    He buys the Blazers and they succeed building a champion in the most organic way... it's perceived that he is the Don Corleone buying championships and there is a reaction against Nike products. I don't think thats farfetched.
