    And besides, our contract situation is pretty damn clear in just 3 seasons. No luxury tax implications either. Completely clean slate starting in 21-22. I believe Neil/Terry also have contracts ending in that time frame.

    Its fairly clean in 2 seasons. It will take until the spring to sell the team anyway. At that point, all our 'bad contacts' will be expiring

    ya all that's left for 20-21 are rookie deals and Dame + CJ who are both on decent deals that will be expiring.

    Nurk's deal will be there too.

    An important side note: The dead money of Nicholson, Varejao, and Ezeli has already been paid to those players, it just counts against the cap but isn't a situation where those players are still owed money.

    I read somewhere on twitter last night that the NBA has a list of potential future owners already vetted and ready to go. Is that true? Can anyone confirm?

    Who could it be?

    I could see Elon Musk being much like a Mark Cuban type of owner.

    Here's another name that has been bandied about who really wants to buy in on the NBA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bonderman


    He was previously a minority owner of the Celtics and put together a package with Tim Leiweke to bring NHL and the NBA to Seattle recently.

    Not true. They are expanding to Seattle. Portland would have had a shot at an existing team. Paul Allen had made 2 attempts to bring a team to Portland.

    It's one thing to speculate on who will own the team now that Paul has passed. It's another thing entirely to suggest that Blazer fans should be happy that he did.

    Normally I would say your right, Canzano is great at creating dissent and click bait. But as of right now, we have no owner and the season hasn't started. What are we going to talk about? The fucking Ice Capades?

    Yes because we are all worried about how the next owner won't be anywhere near as good as Paul.

    Not like Canzano who is saying the next owner will be definitely better and that his passing is good for the city. Takes a special kind of person to think this way.

    I’d hate if they moved. It would definitely free up more free time for me, but I’d spend it under a bridge. i don’t feel like losing 60% of my income.
