    Id have a rough time rooting for them or even watching NBA if they were moved out of Oregon.

    honestly still having tough time dealing with my Beavers being a farm club. As soon as we have a remotely good player another big league club comes and offers them big money to go play in big conference.

    Make this poll public so we can properly mock anyone who votes something other than NO

    Heck, if they move them close to me, I will follow. It would suck for the city of Portland, but I would not shun it if I could actually attend events in person.

    Would I prefer that it happens? No. But if it does... I am a basketball fan first. Heck, the only reason I am a Portland fan is because when I went to see the Rockets who I was a fan of at the time (Hakeem and Barkley fan, really) in Portland, I got into the vibe and enjoyed the local show. So, if I can get into being a Blazers fan because they were local to me, I can remain one if they are moved to be local to me again.

    Pay Sly $50 and he will ban me.

    I voted no. I already pretty much gave up on them since I can't watch them anymore without a paid subscription. I wouldn't mind so much if they didn't make sure they were free options for Seattle and Yakima.

    @SlyPokerDog will you offer a discount to $25/ban in this case?

    Those of us who are no longer based in Portland, or who never were, will probably have a slightly different viewpoint than those who are currently local to the team.

    im all for women’s sports but WNBA is tough watch I’d rather watch OSU women basketball. Also ESPN is really pushing highlights of WNBA.

    Having not lived in the PDX metro area for 15 years, I did vote that it depends on where they moved but there is about a 5% chance I'd still watch/care about them if they moved but there is a chance.

    It's ok to say the WNBA is unwatchable, just like a number of men's sports are unwatchable ... it's simply a bad product.

    Not me. I have not lived in Oregon for 27 years, and I have not missed many games thanks to NBA League Pass. If they leave, I am done.

    To me, the games are watchable. The racist attitudes are unwatchable.

    I'd likely be done with the NBA if the Blazers were moved.

    One, they need to stay here.

    Two, the need to stay here.

    Three, if they left, they wouldn't keep their name (i.e. Sonics ->Thunder) so they would no longer be the Blazers in name or otherwise.

    Four, they need to stay here.

    Maybe not in cash, but they will make a deposit.
