    Is it bad of me to already be thinking about the million dollar question?

    I gotta be honest.... I'm a little scared for the future of our team. Paul was Blazers basketball. He wanted a championship more than anything. What is going to happen to the team now?

    RIP, Uncle Paul.

    It saddens me that I won't get to use SPAM as a GM strategy anymore.

    Let's hope he had some sort of Green Bay Packer fans become the owners type thing in his will.

    The Portland Diamond Project might be pivoting very quickly...

    Paul Allen loved the Blazers and the local NW community. I hope the Blazers organization and PDX celebrate that fact.

    Shall I start a separate thread regarding ownership issues? Feel like this one should be only about Paul.

    Been in Rip City 2 times. I wouldn't have seen this fantastic place without him and his passion for the Blazers

    Today is a very sad evening. RIP.

    Why would anyone want to buy this team and move it? Makes no sense. The Blazers are long-established and very popular in this community. Additionally, there are government and vendor contracts and leases in place.

    And finally, and significantly, the NBA is very anti-moving if you hadn't noticed.

    RIP. I wish we could have won a title while Paul was still alive.
