I know of one season ticket holder who is canceling her seats. They squandered the franchise’s best player in history with a decade of mediocre move after mediocre move. Cronin and the Vulcans have to earn support back. No more living on the margins. They have Scoot and Sharpe - let’s hope they have the balls to take chances with this era.
That’s not an option. We re-upped in March. Just like I couldn’t ask for a refund on all the tanking games the last two years. Not how this works.
I might have to scoop up some season tickets on the cheap this year or next and make my way down to the lower levels. I just got a job where I get paid like a Big Boy and can actually afford them!
If someone cancels their tickets because a certain player was traded, they weren't a Blazer fan. They were a Dame fan. It's their prerogative, but it's not like we won titles or anything. I'm a fan of the name on the front first. Of course there are players we fall in love with, but those come and go....it's part of a sports career.
Yep, loyal to the soil. I'm an Oregon native and so the Blazers jersey (lol) will always come first. I would have never traded Dame, until he asked out. He has, now you get MAXIMUM value, which is to say, welcome to Brooklyn Lillard and welcome to Portland 4 1sts.
I'm really not ready to be in this head space and I'm not a season ticket holder but this is going to be a lot more fun to watch than the last two seasons have been. We go in with very low expectations and fantastic young athletes we get to see grow.
I'd also accept, welcome to Portland Jaylen Brown and some 1sts. Lillard might not like that, but I don't think he has a trade clause does he?
Oh yeah, if we pick up the pace (we need to fire Billups ASAP btw) Scoot and Sharpe will be a DREAM in the open court.
I would be real pissed but, I wouldn't cancel my season tickets if I had them, I'm loyal to the team unlike some people.
I assure you, a month into the season after all the butt hurt fans recognize the potential of this team, there will be no shortage of takers. Maybe hold onto those tickets, the value is going up!
Good post and agree. It's all about RIP CITY now. Do not get Fleeced on this deal. Fuck where Dame wants to go. Trade him for the best value.
I think it’s not about the team - it’s the ownership’s willingness to ride the coattails of a superstar and being content with mediocrity. The Vulcans are the problem.
Don't let anyone tell you how you should feel. You do you and nobody can tell you whether you're a fan or not
I'm inquiring about cancelling not due to Dame asking out, but for the Front Office's relative inaction as a slow moving train wreck played out over the last 18 months.
Yes, that will be part of the conversation. Also, directly, my part of the proposition of maintaining the season tickets was using their value to pay for future seasons(and not just by fleecing Lakers and GSW band wagoners). If the team is destroying the value, us fans shouldn't be the only ones to pay financially.
