    The Seattle connection.

    I wonder if the player the Blazers are targeting in the lotto is Tacoma-native, Avery Bradley.

    I am convinced that at some point the Portland Trailblazers will be the Seattle Super Sonics. Maybe not anytime soon, but I just see too many Seattle connections, and ZERO Portland connections

    I guess it could happen, cept for the fact it'd be cost prohibitive.

    It'd be sooo much cheaper to have Paul Allen sell the team and get an expansion team.

    But hey, if people want to over-react to the location of the person who owns the team, or the people who they hire, have at it.

    but i don't remember people having this enormous little brother syndrome when our previous owner lived in LA.

    You're probably right ... of course I fully expect PA's sister to sell the team when she inherits it from him after he kicks the bucket. Which means we'll probably see some oil or mining tycoon buy the team up and relocate it to St. Louis.

    Yeah, because the NBA is all about moving really strong franchises around willy nilly.

    our chicken littles are so adorable with the way they're always looking for a new angle that the sky might be falling. Someone could remind the :NOTMARIS: section about the details of the Blazer's RG financial arrangement (I don't have that handy) if we want them to move onto the next possible doomsday scenario...

    Sorry to be pedantic, but of all the places, it wouldn't likely be St. Louis. My understanding is that the Silnas brothers would have first pick at an NBA team based in St. Louis, and they make too much money off their current deal to ruin it with a team.

    Is this before or after the big trade?

    Or you actually making sense?

    Paul Allen will be dead by then, and the team will be in the hands of Larry Miller and some other Nike folks.
