I wouldn't want any of those over the Blazers.
Chargers werent sold, and didn't have to pay for their new arena and don't make as much money off the stadium because they're not the main tenant.
When was the last time a franchise was bought and moved, that was valued at 4.5+ billion. As with the other answer, I'll wait for this one off air...
If we're talking about owners who are worried about this little of a revenue share, then they are cheap ass owners. The amount of money the league...

The Sonics were sold for 285 million. That wouldn't even be able to buy 1/10th of the Blazers today. That is what I meant by valuable. It's much...
