    I think Reign is already taken, otherwise I'd be there with you. Fire is definitely getting my vote from the suggestions I've heard so far.

    I’m sure she will be the first pick next draft. Not sure how the W picks the position of the new franchises. Golden State this draft picked at 5th.
    Saw something during their draft that said there’s like 250 WNBA players and this next offseason heading into our inaugural season…… 175 of the players will be free agents!!! That’s one hell of a fast way to build a good team if they are willing to spend.

    How about something that accurately represents the city of Portland, such as The Fentanyl Addicts?

    In regards to the possibility of Portland getting JuJu Watkins, here is the rule about required age in the WNBA, which is different than the NBA -
    In the WNBA, domestic players are generally eligible for the draft if they are at least 22 years old during the draft year, have no remaining college eligibility, or have graduated from a four-year college. International players must be at least 20 years old during the draft year.
    Specific Eligibility Requirements:
    Age: Domestic players must be at least 22 years old during the calendar year of the draft (as of December 31).

    JuJu will turn 22 on 7/15/27, which would make her eligible for the 2027 WNBA draft as she would turn 22 by 12/31 of that year.
    Portland, along with the new Toronto team, would be eligible to draft players that year.

    She will be out most of next year due to her injury, but I can't see her staying 2 more years, even though the NIL money is probably more than would make in the WNBA.

    That would make more sense if they played in Medford or Klamath Falls.

    Fire is awful, has nothing to do with Oregon except for forest fires and I’m sure the poor folks that lost everything want that memory rekindled…
