    In this case I'm wondering where your sense of adventure is?

    I'm already putting up with my favorite team having a trail CAT as a mascot.

    Sabrina Ionescu will be an unrestricted free agent in the 2026 offseason. Hmmmmmm. I'll bet Nike and the ownership would LOVE to get her in a Portland jersey for their first season.

    and they stole the Kings and are in the process of (temporarily) stealing the Athletics!

    That city can't be trusted!

    Very true, but I would imagine Nike likes her in NY or in the Bay Area where she is from.

    Those 4 years in Eugene supersede everything, didn't you know?

    Blazers has to do with blazing a new trail, not a blazing fire. Fire name makes zero cents. Shouldn’t even be considered.

    Portland is all about community and they share a stadium. Roses would give them a similar color scheme and match with Thorns.

    Does the idea of the team being named that OFFEND you?

    We need to get one of these numbers dork/virgin/mouthbreathers on here to start figuring out all the WNBA rules. Free agency, expansion draft, salary cap etc. #NerdsUnite

    Did they say they will be playing in Moda and not the MC? I know it costs a hell of a lot less to hold events at the MC. Until this season the majority of WNBA teams played in smaller arenas around the league, not the NBA arenas. And this season they moved the games to the NBA arenas for games against the FEVER for obvious reasons.

    I'm obviously aware of that.

    My response was to this comment. I don't see how that comment/fact has any relevance to the conversation about team name etc.
    "The WNBA exists thanks to the NBA."

    Yes, they are playing at Moda. They may play some games at the VMC when Moda is being renovated.
