    The NBA wants all teams to have Gleague affiliates, probably so they can eventually televize Gleague and make more money.

    Good way to look at undrafted players without signing them to the Blazers.

    Sounds reasonable for the junior team. The name stands.

    Wait, so a G league team in the same city? Is that normal?

    The G League is not a money maker for the teams. The Blazers said as much in their presser. But it does help them develop talent on the court , as well as coaches, and personnel. It's gonna be pretty cool IMO.

    They really should have done this about 5 years ago. They would have established a lot better attendance and who knows what it could have done for the players.

    Joe Cronin and his Staff are trying to do things different. And i find it refreshing. I really think their hard work will really start to show a payoff this offseason.

    It can be. The NBA will try to make it one watch.

    With the state this company and the Blazers franchise are both in (and the alignment with "the glory days") fair freaking point!!!

    On what they've done to create maneuverability , and be able to go after potential game changing talent. Neil roped the franchise into a corner, then basically acted like there's nothing he can do. I'm more impressed with the talent evaluation too as far as youth goes. It's the steps they've done to put the plan in motion. Now they have to hit on it.

    They put their G-League team in Portland so that they can then move the Blazers to Seattle.
