Canzano says Blazers being prepared for auction

[Tince]

Hope, fan base and geography argue pretty strongly against the Blazers being moved. Look at this map of league fan affiliation:

The West is drastically underserved with teams. That makes travel distances longer and more expensive and dilutes chances for regional rivalries. I’d say the most likely future for the NBA would be to keep the Blazers where they are, add teams in Vegas and Seattle, and shift the Grizzlies to the East.

Having spent a decent amount of time in Boise, Idaho for work, they are more of a Jazz market than Blazers.

Now remember, the Seattle mayor was a staunch supporter of keeping the Sonics in Seattle. Then OKC cut him a 30 million dollar check, which instantly changed the mayor's opinion.

How anyone ever listens to canzano willingly is beyond me.

I feel the same about Stephen A Smith. I have no clue why anyone would choose to listen to him or Crapzano.

I feel the same about Stephen A Smith. I have no clue why anyone would choose to listen to him or Crapzano.

I remember one time I was listening to a S.A.S convo. He was crapping on a white player for a racial comment, and the guy going back and forth with him (can't remember who) brought up a black player who had basically done the exact same thing. When confronted with this obvious display of hypocrisy, he said.....and I quote, "I ain't gonna disrepect a brotha".

Never listened to him since.

Story has now been updated:

PORTLAND, OR - In a major shakeup for the NBA, billionaire investor barfo has acquired the Portland Trail Blazers for $4 billion and immediately made a bold move by changing the team name to the Portland Porch Pirates.

The acquisition has sent shockwaves through the basketball community, as the Trail Blazers, under their previous ownership for over two decades, are now under the guidance of barfo, known for his unconventional and innovative approach to business.

barfo's first major move as the new owner was to make a trade, sending Josh Hart to the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The name change to the Portland Porch Pirates has been met with mixed reactions, but one aspect of the new identity has already proven to be a hit - the updated mascot, Blaze. The former trailblazer now sports a pirate hat and carries boxes under his arm, a nod to the team's new "porch pirate" theme.

The Porch Pirates organization declined to comment on the name change, but sources close to the team say they are excited for the new ownership and the potential it brings. The sports world awaits with anticipation to see what is next for the Portland Porch Pirates and barfo.
