If worst case scenario happened and Blazers moved out of state would you still root for them?

    yeah i'm not sure why the word intend is inflating everyone's balloon so much. assholes are like intentions--you never know what you're going to chocolate. wait how's that go again?

    that's not a thing, I wish it was though. paul definitely wanted them to stay in portland but there's nothing that can't be broken at this point.

    I think this sale is great news for blazers fans--some minority owners have portland ties and the good faith vibes that the PE investors or Tom are floating some of the money until other smaller northwest investors pop up is really nice but as MM says this thing will be about whether city politicians stake their names on supporting an arena deal or RG upgrade deal ($$). the good news is the redevelopment piece is a win/win for the city.

    As I understand it, it made financial sense according to professional people who looked at it. I think it would be fairly easy to get the same kind of support for the Blazers. Likely more support.

    Having the team is a huge win for the city and state. Having the development that this investment group is clearly going to want is also going to be a huge win for this city, and thereby the state.

    It doesn't make any sense not to support it. You're going to lose more money by losing the Blazers then it would ever cost you to do what it takes to keep them.

    It's just not even worth considering letting them get away.
