    Sorry to be super cryptic (I've not seen any of this mentioned anywhere), but thought it was worth giving a heads up... it sounds like there will be some fairly interesting Blazers news announced soon -- possibly even tomorrow.

    No, you don't need to hold onto your shorts.
    No, Dame isn't demanding a trade.
    No, sadly, Jody isn't selling the team, BUT, it's good news. Not trading Nurk + Ant for Giannis levels of good news, but still good news...

    They're going to pick up the Rose Garden and move it out into the burbs?

    No hints? A trade? A coaching change?

    They're adding a new craft beer!

    The bad news is it will cost $20 a pint.

    New streaming service, perhaps? That'd be good news

    Offered through Twitter... you need a blue checkmark and it will cost $300 a month.

    It should be good for the city and good for the team. Not a trade or related to movement of anyone on coaching staff or current roster.

    It's been a minute since I've been to a game, but this feels like it'd be a discount, no?

    God I wish! Sadly no, not this.

    Probably. They just figure if people are smashed, they won't pay attention to the horrible team that Jody/Bert/Joe have put on the court.

    I'm guessing it is a Moda name change. The naming rights deal was for 10 yrs beginning in 2013.
