    If Nike owns even a small percentage of the team, they will face a litany of "tampering" complaints over every non-Blazer player they have an endorsement deal with. Phil could get involved personally (as he is basically retired), but between his age and his preference for college sports it seems unlikely.

    It's a shame, because on paper they represent the best (only?) hope for local ownership.

    I don't see any way that the arena could be sold separately. It's basically worthless without the Blazers playing in it. Plus you'd have to have the NBA approve yanking the team out of a city that actually supports their team. It's not happening.

    If that happened this year, how would that be a repeat? We've been better than that 4 out of the past 5 years...

    If there isn't at least one game in Klamath Falls I am against it.

    You got it. This team is just spinning its wheels. Other teams get bad and then rebuild, but we just hover around mediocrity year after year.
