    Just that it’s fast tracked and a big push to get it established this season?

    Does it give Jody more value when she sells the team? Hopefully to Phil

    The NBA wants all the NBA teams to have their own GLeague team. Eventually, when they do the next TV deal/reveal a new streaming app, these games will too be televized.

    That’s some good stuff…the insult/observation, not the G-League announcement. G-League is just the new big man coach…

    Stoked for this news because it might force Chauncey to, I don’t know, pick an actual offensive and defensive basketball approach.

    I think they should call them the Super Sonics just to mess with the seattle fans.

    Perfect for the development of 2 way players, and have close access to joining the team. U of P has a nice arena. St Johns is nice. Win Win.

    Kinda makes me wonder if the reason the process was sped up was to quicken a sale?

    I don't think they care about speeding up the process. I think she prefers to slow the process down, but I agree it adds more value to the sale.

    Players at the end of the bench can easily get playing time.

    Also, since there isn't a lot of 'live' practice during the season - this give the team a lot more bodies to do live practice with the younger players.

    May not be exciting... but it is a good move.
    I can't see a downside to this move.

    They could name them the Vikings and really mess with people.

    Naw, the investment Jody is putting into the improvements to the Moda Center over the next 6 years makes me think she's all in on keeping the Blazers in the Trust portfolio. I think the Seahawks and the Blazers will be the last things sold. I tried to tell some of you she is more into the Blazers then you think. She's learning more and more about the team, and how it's built from Joe. If she didn't care, you'd never see her at games.
