    Makes the most sense to me. Brings more basketball to Portland, utilizes an arena space we already have, and keeps 2way players close if they need to be recalled.

    Players would suck intentionally to get sent to the Cancun or Cabo G league.....bad move!!! Especially in an Oregon winter season.

    I'd think that if during a discussion about a potential trade if one GM takes irrational positions and makes insulting offers, he's going to generate a lot of animus from the other GM

    there was pretty substantial reporting that when Indiana was shopping Paul George, Olshey was offering the three 2017 draft picks (all outside of the lottery) while holding CJ untouchable; meaning he was offering the thee picks and a combo like Harkless and Meyers. That was insulting. A year later he reportedly made insulting cheapscrew offers for Jimmy Butler. All the while grossly overvaluing his own guys. Simply put...those were not legitimate offers at all. They were time-wasting offers and shit like that gets around

    I'd definitely go to G-League games in Eugene if the price wasn't too high.

    Ok. I changed my mind. Put the G league team in Tallahassee. Just for me.

    I think Boise would be a good idea. But, only if all of their drivers take a strict driving test and 90% pass. Idaho drivers are bad. Not as bad as Boston, Ohio or Iowa. But, bad.

    I'd buy season tickets to the Salem 503 or whatever other stupid name they would come up with.

    I was just going to say I would definitely go to some games if they were in Salem or Eugene.

    The midwest sucks. Kansas City is literally the worst big city in the US.

    I disagree that the Midwest sucks and KC has some of the best bbq but otherwise, ya, it leaves a little to be desired.

    Interesting market though.

    Disagree on the bbq. Went there and had it because everyone raves about it. Was not impressed.

    The two multiple people raved about while there. Q39 and Jack Stack.

    I thought Buster's BBQ was just as good. I liked the Quizno's bbq sandwich I had there more than the restaurant stuff.

    Put the team in Hawaii!
    What kind of BBQ do you like? There is Texas style, Kansas City style, Carolina style, Memphis style, 'Bama style, and subsets of those.
