    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Los Angeles Times - Mighty Ducks owner Henry Samueli is exploring the possibility of buying the Portland Trail Blazers , for sale at about $300 million, and moving them to Anaheim, where they would play their games at the Pond.

    Paul Allen made it clear in April that his plan is to sell off the Blazers.

    "We are certainly aware of the recent news out of Portland," Pond President Tim Ryan said. "It is something we are following very closely."</div>

    How do Laker fans feel about this?

    It would be a hassle, that will mean three baskeball teams would have to share Staples, that might throw off some game scheduling for the Laker and Clipper home games.

    Why would the Trailblazers have to share Staples? Im sure if they would move, a new stadium would be in order for the team.

    Yeah the Arrowhead Pond would be theirs to use. It's where the Mighty Ducks play.

    I'd have the Blazers move down here than the Kings. I think David Stern is going to push for the Blazers to remain in Portland. Or another scenario might be moving the Sonics to Portland to replace the Blazers.

    Anothe possible destination for the Blazers is St. Louis. If the owner of the NHL St. Louis Blues buys the team he likely moves them to St. Louis.

    I'd be all for this is the Blazers or Clippers moved down to San Diego. One team in L.A., one team in Anaheim, and one in San Diego.

    I can care less if all the NBA teams move to SoCal. Hell I don't care if the whole NBA shares tthe Staples Center. [​IMG]
