    UofP is such a great campus to visit as well. Love looking over downtown.

    Getting to use the Blazers practice facility is a big plus for a G league team...those guys usually have crappy facilities.

    They would have waited until the team is moved to ensure a logistically beneficial location instead of five miles from each other.
    Assumption i know, but legit to me.

    You also ignored what i feel is the bigger positive impact. More control over our players’ development to fit within our system.

    Well, my HS graduation was at Chiles.

    So what are they calling this squad?

    I really miss living downtown and on the hill above the college. The views were priceless.

    The walking commute however…

    Hearing rumors of the Oregon Squatsh (mascot already introduced at Blazer games) or something electronic in the name because Intel is going to be a big sponsor.

    But we all know it should be something with dogs.

    Rain Dogs!

    We both went to the UofO, overlapped time there and have at least one common friend, but no, Casey and I are two different people. I take that as a compliment though!

    I used to have some pretty good sources inside Moda, but now I just have a well placed neighbor for this kinda stuff.

    It's obviously out now (although there's still a minor piece that wasn't announced...) I tried not to oversell it and I know it's not enough to blow everyone's skirt up, but I definitely think this is thing to get at least low-key excited about.

    I hate myself for coming up with that. It's so bad.

    On the contrary. This only solidified that we are moving to the team to Seattle.

    Now they can put Portland in its place as the little brother of Seattle by leaving their farm team here.

    Will Blazer Broadcasting send their team members that aren’t quite NBA level quality over to cover the G League?
