    Like one Laker fan could snatch HCPs body.
    He’s virtually kidnap proof

    He did hedge his story a bit, saying that the deal isn't signed and these things can change last minute. However, he also said that the difference between this rumor and past rumors is that he's hearing it from the NBCSNW and Root camps.

    I don't see how you could fit in the Blazers on the current root channel with MLB and NHL already on there. I think they agreed on the show that Root Oregon/Portland would have to be a new channel.

    The best way to really get ahead of rumors about anything Blazer related. Picks/players/news etc is to see who Chris McGowan recently followed.

    On the upside, you wouldn't have to watch the Blazers waste Dames prime anymore

    ...is this a bad thing? If so, why? I don't know enough about these cable networks as I "cut the cord" before Netflix even graduated to a streaming platform :dunno:

    For accessibility and the amount of platforms, root is a drastic downgrade. No streaming services, Hulu and YouTube are out as options.

    It's like the Comcast thing from years ago.

    I have to imagine if they are making this move that root and/or the Blazers have streaming stuff coming... and it better not be that bullshit $99 for games either.

    They probably know Root is not on much streaming services, so Blazers can sell their own instead. They already have the ground work in place.
