    The arena lease ends in a few years. Do taxpayers want to spend hundreds of millions for a new arena?

    Think it might be best to wave goodbye and root for the Timbers.

    wait, why do tax payers need to pay for a new arena? Yeah, the RG is 20 years old (that seems hard to believe), but it's not like it's a dump.

    The problem isn't just this day; its that we have them every few years. Roy knees, Oden injuries.

    Well being from Seattle I would love to have Portland's team. I would feel bad if they left your city though. Paul Allen is the owner as well, so it's a possibility.

    This may be the most awesome troll thread ever. Draco, please join the clutchfans site and post a thread like this about the rockets. No, no, no, better yet: join a lakers forum and post the following....

    Rumor: Buss to move Lakers to San Diego
    it'd be an absolute hoot.

    Any team in the western conference yet east of the Mississippi needs to move..the travel is ridiculous. Portland stays in Portland. Even send the Clippers to Seattle and the Pelicans to Vegas, Grizzlies to Vancouver BC...and get the Northwest back on the NBA map again

    Nah. PDX is already the largest 1-sports town league (I'm talking about the Big 4 - NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL). Blazers are revered here and TV ratings and attendance is through the roof even during bad seasons cause there is no other game in town.

    The Rose Garden may be 20 years old, but it is in a prime location and was renovated last year. It is very modern.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    This is all the expected, inevitable fall-out of trading away Batum.

    When the moving vans drive out of Moda Center in the middle of the night, we'll all remember that it began when the franchise forsook Batum.

    It makes sense to let the Blazers go. Moda Center can be repurposed as Moda Dignity Village. The MC can be Slightly-Less-Dignity Village.
