    Because he is not blinded by fandom BUT like i posted earlier I now understand why there was so much back lash - fear of the unknown and the fact this plan is high reward and Super super Low if this plan fails

    The team isn’t being sold until the tv contract comes into effect.

    Only way the Blazers trade Blevins is to attach him to Dame in a trade but outside of that there is not a team / GM out there that wants him on there team -- lol

    I don’t need to know who is in the market. Something like 3 teams in the last 50 years have been relocated. It’s not as simple as *buy team* *unilaterally decide to move team* *done*. There are a TON of moving parts… starting with poor attendance, poor facilities - neither of which is Portland. So you’d be looking at the only team EVER to move under those circumstances.

    So yeah, keep fishin Jack.

    I don't necessarily think the team is for sale. If it was, you don't run the value into the ground when you're trying to sell. Ticket sales, F&B, luxury boxes, and corporate sponsorships I'm sure are down at the moment. Yes your outgoing salary is down, but the decline in team value is sure to be a multiple of any salary savings. If you sell a team, it's with Lillard and all of the bells and whistles with it. Not a team with a star, and emerging star, and an equivalent of a G-League roster to support them.

    Good luck CJ, and thanks for the memories & your contributions to the team and to Portland. I will be routing him on to succeed. But it was a needed trade, and i think CJ will prosper in Nawlins.

    Like I said. I guess I felt they would get more for CJ.
    I’ll rephrase that. I felt he was worth more than that.
    Just my take.

    Are you kidding? With this new roster, he's a centerpiece.

    That explains everything. Dame wanted him to have a more prominent role!

    This is my pipedream at this point. The 1st trade would make sense. This trade would be a Major W.
