<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Canzano: Bully move blows up in Blazers' face T here's apparently a new, unofficial slogan for the young, upbeat, promising Trail Blazers basketball franchise. Last year it was, "Ready or not, here we come." Now, this week, we've learned that in 2006-07 it's unofficially, "Portland Trail Blazers: First in your hearts, last on the Forbes list." You're probably enjoying the rookie trio of Brandon Roy, Sergio Rodriguez and LaMarcus Aldridge. But when it comes to the annual list of NBA team valuations, the Blazers are dead stinkin' last -- No. 30 -- and nobody likes to see that. Current franchise value: $230 million. That's less than half the value of the Knicks ($592 million), Lakers ($568 million), Mavericks ($463 million) and Bulls ($461 million). The figure is even a far cry from the Kings ($379 million), who play in Sacramento, the market everyone likes to compare Portland with. </div> Source
