    Paul Allen's Trust says that as long as there is a basketball team in Portland she can sell the Blazers. So the Blazers get sold to Las Vegas and we still have "professional" basketball.

    F. Any reasonable organization has a G-League team and they're getting with the times.

    Comment is very funny.

    I seriously would rather have watched a GLeague team with Jabari and maybe a couple 2 way players signed into next season than that last couple months of our regular season.

    It sure seems to do both - so I'm good with it.

    It's bold moves like this that will help us repeat as Summer League champions.

    They are limited to having 3 players on 2-way contracts, so I doubt that they would be acquiring more young players and need a spot for them, because if they're trading someone (including Dame) and get 2-way contracted players in return, fuck the G-league team and the bluff it plays at.

    I'm sure 90% of it is that they didn't want to send their own talent down (Sharpe not withstanding) and have them be coached by someone in their system, and also could be easier to sign and keep talent that could be brought up (and take advantage of Schmidts talent).

    The NBA should run the G-league like it's AAA baseball, in that the players on the team are under contract with the parent team, and can be traded, etc. And in fact, they should have a G-league draft too. That way, teams can stash players potentially and not have it take up a roster spot on the "parent" team.

    I think the G league should be the team's minor league and you should control the rosters from both teams...be able to promote, demote and trade players. If John Butler Jr doeesn't cut it, another G league guy should be able to be called up and Butler sent down to the minors...would plug injury holes and keep teams moving forward ...

    She was forced to. The NBA wants every team to have one

    Side note, it’ll be cool that the Ignite team will be coming to Portland regularly. Will get to see the Scoots and Jalen Greens of the future up close for cheap.

    It's great move by the blazers I seen it how it worked with the young players for the spurs do I follow them all year last year. It's also good for player that been injured for awhile to go down and get the reps in before playing again if it just practice with them down there.

    I'm definitely in support of anything that gets @THE HCP out of the house on more evenings.

    A G League team in the same city as the parent team? This obviously means the Blazers are moving to Seattle!

    There are no negatives to this. How can you complain about something that has no negatives? Lol.

    Will go to a couple games too. Cheaper. Especially Ignite games.

    Twenty-eight out of thirty NBA teams have G League affiliates, so of course there's got to be some negative conspiracy shit associated with the Blazers finally joining the club.
