    This begs the question.
    Is Portland a FA destination as far as the WNBA is concerned? Why would any player want to come to Portland? They probably should just tank to get good players right?

    I'm sure there's a new fancy hat being made as we speak.

    (btw, I saw the Timbers, Blazers and Winterhawks tweeted about this...did the Portland Grifters Project say anything?)

    To answer my own question, no. They haven't said or posted anything since Willie Mays died.

    Are we even sure they have employees anymore? Is the gig up for that grifting party?

    The sail is the best of those names.

    Portland to Seattle Amtrak Cascades!

    That way when the team moves to Seattle we'll be prepared.

    Yes, but that is for the Blazers. This team isn't the Blazers.

    Blaze has more than one meaning and one of the most popularly used is in conjunction with Fire.

    I'm not saying The WNBA team needs to be named the Fire. Only that it plays nicely with our NBA team name. But again, so would Pioneers (footsoldier who paved the way for the army). Perhaps even more aptly so.

    To go with the trail blazers/pioneer/wagon train theme, how about the Portland Dysentery?

    Or maybe more appropriate for a women's team, the Portland Died-in-Childbirth?

    I heard that there are already about 4,000 season ticket seat deposits for the new team.
