Canzano says Blazers being prepared for auction

[Rastapopoulos]

The NBA learned their lesson after the Sonics fiasco. Look at the Kings, that dumpster fire of a franchise should've been moved a long time ago, but the NBA fought like hell to keep the Kings there.

I don't think SACRAMENTO is the problem - the OWNER is the problem.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Relocate to Maine so we can keep the Portland name.

 

[BoomChakaLaka]

Word on the street is that LeBron James is interested in being an owner.

Lebron and Dame?

 

[wizenheimer]

Never understood the appeal of hooters.

why...you a leg man?

I've been telling you guys that for months.

True but nobody listens to you because your source is the lunch lady at the Rose Garden.

There was a problem with the Blazer app and getting the tickets for the game last night. So I had to call and email the Blazer box office. Finally someone calls back and they find that I once had an old Ticketmaster account under my SPD email address. The guy is trying to fix the problem and move the tickets to my current Ticketmaster account when he gets silent for a moment and goes.... "Are you SlyPokerDog of the Blazers?" "Yes." "We love your stuff, we read the forum all the time!"

So it's not just the lunch lady, I guess it's also the ticket office, lol.

Thanks for the recap....I refuse to click on anything this Spunk Bubble types. Curious why the term auction was used and not sale?

The Blazers will be sold on eBay.

 

[Fairly-Hard]

The Blazers will be sold on eBay.

For Dog Coin?

Also, after a second lap around this post........ what "stuff" is he referring to?

All you ever post is stuff off Reddit and self-deprecating humor!

Listen... just because I have an abysmal 45% post-to-like conversation rate and you have a 93% conversation rate, doesn't mean that people LOVE it.











It just means that you have like 30 fake accounts!

I'm pretty sure the league is looking at expanding into those two markets and with the backlash the last time they fucked over a team in the PNW, I don't think the NBA wants to go through that again with a team that makes money, has a great fan base and owns their facilities, unless of course the city decides to try and fuck over the Blazers with the land lease, which I just don't see happening.

THIS ... but the bigger reason for expansion is the $$$$ it brings the other owners, where as they I don't think they get anything for relocating a franchise. Already the talk is that each of the expansion teams (most likely LV and Seattle) would command at LEAST 2.5 billion, meaning again AT LEAST $5 billion to share amongst the current 30 owners. These guys want that cash, not to let another franchise in a historically strong NBA market, where there is ZERO competition from other professional teams, and where if they moved the Blazers, Portland isn't getting another team. Why let one of your key expansion markets be wasted by relocation and not make a dime off it?

As for the next owner being from Oregon, or even the PNW, good luck with that. Most of these owners are now multi-multi billionaires and can go anywhere at the drop of a hat. As long as it's someone with deep pockets, that is looking to put the best product on the court, I don't care where they are from.

Junior Bridgeman. That’s all you get for now

 

[SlyPokerDog]

We should start a Go Fund Me!

 

[ABM]

Ugh, not sure I can root for anything LeBron. Please no.

Who owns a team first? LBJ or Elon Musk?

 

[illmatic99]

Junior Bridgeman. That’s all you get for now

well that's a new name.

I'm sure the league has a list of rich people who are interested already.

My ask for the new owner:

- Don't be embattled in any scandal.
- Hire the right people, delegate, and step back.
- Care about winning.

He would be part of a group.

He doesn’t have the money to buy by himself.

Google says his net worth is ~600 mil. Most of these new ownership groups are by committee, and I don't really see that as an issue. Also... interesting find:

Have you tried spelling asshole recently on your phone?
