Everything they trade matches CJ. NOP uses portion of their $17M TPE to absorb Nance. Snell is minimum so doesn't need to be accounted for. We get $20M due to deficit between CJ and Satoransky.

I heard they already got The HCP a uni with a built in oxygen tank.

I know exactly how close Baltimore is to DC. And I know exactly how unwilling rich people are to go into Baltimore city for just about anything outside of a Ravens game.

Wizards games aren't highly attended. A new team in Baltimore wouldn't be either. The Orioles don't draw well. They didn't really do great during the last stretch of good baseball the Orioles had, either.

KC's "new" arena is now 15 years old. Granted, it's newer than the Moda Center, but it's not new.

Like you, I also used to live in that area (I spent over a decade in DC). Unlike you, I understand fan support is not important. Corporate support is. And that area has tremendous corporate resources.
 
Scalma linked with some of the article by Fischer i think it was that the Blazers are looking to FLIP some of the assets from the CJ trade in another post so that would explain why an official announcement has not been made by either team at this point.

All i know is the one asset outside of maybe the Protected pick I kind of want the Blazers to keep is Hart but the rest I would not mind being flipped as long it's for the right piece.

Who do you trust in this organization to make the Blazers contenders? Jody? Bert Kolde? Joe Cronin? Why would Jody even continue owning the team if its going to suck? She just got it as an inheritance from her brother. My theory is she wanted to see if they could win a championship around Lillard, but that ship may have sailed. If they trade Lillard, there is absolutely no reason for her to keep the team. Shipping out talent for cap flexibility and future draft picks is a signal that the team is for sale so the new owners can shape a new franchise from the ground up.

And a new owner. If the new owner is not local, why would they keep the team in Portland? The Team is more valuable in a bigger market. Plus, a place like Las Vegas, a Billionaire would actually maybe live there versus Portland due to various reasons. Why be an absentee owner for an NBA franchise? It worked for Paul Allen because he was essentially retired and didn't have much going on, but someone who is still working and running companies, to go fly to Portland to watch games?

The best chance for the Blazers is that a local ownership group steps up, but unless its Phil Knight, they will probably be outbid by a billionaire.

Bc it’s not their choice or the new owners choice to move the team. It’s the whole nbas choice. And their not doing that anymore after the Sonics debacle. Again look at the kings story. They were begging and pleading to have it moved to Seattle but the nba said fuck that we learned our lesson your staying put.

so what ur doing is trying to speak it to existence for them to move. I don’t even think teams will move anymore in our lifetime UNLESS the attendance is completely terrible and arena is literally falling apart. None of which applies to us. So chill out
 
The team isn't getting moved. NBA wouldn't allow it. They'll expand in the next decade.

I think the plan is to draft Chet, Banchero, or Jabari while trading the NOP 1st for another forward. Lots of good centers we could get with our 2nd round pick. Then free agency. This team will have a frontcourt next year.

I thought the Blazers only drafted guards.....

I'm pretty confident it'll be the 1st + Sato (and maybe NAW) for Grant.

Praying that it's something out of the blue like Nurkic + NOP 1st to Toronto for OG.

Hey dipshit, I'm not the one who called the other poster a clown, so you need to be the one to chill out.

Its a possible scenario, and I'm not going to ignore that possibility.

That plan requires MASSIVE tanking, which we are now capable of doing, or getting a little lucky in the Draft. But I like the thinking. Will be a fun Draft party.

It's also a market that lost the Bullets, lost the Colts, and nearly lost the Orioles. It's not nearly the boom market you think it would be for either a moved team or an expansion. The owner would have to commit to pouring a ton of resources into an arena project, because multiple arena projects funded by taxpayers have failed over the last 30 years. There are plenty of other markets you mentioned that would be better fits, Vegas especially, but I'm pretty firmly in the camp that there's no chance the Blazers move.

I just can’t fathom a superstar who’s on the outside edge his prime being okay with a complete rebuild like this…

I think we're keeping him around to see if whoever buys this team wants to keep him or trade him for future assets.
 
Because he is not blinded by fandom BUT like i posted earlier I now understand why there was so much back lash - fear of the unknown and the fact this plan is high reward and Super super Low if this plan fails

The team isn’t being sold until the tv contract comes into effect.
 
Only way the Blazers trade Blevins is to attach him to Dame in a trade but outside of that there is not a team / GM out there that wants him on there team -- lol

We have no idea who is in the market for an NBA franchise. It's not a stretch to say the owner won't be local.

Let me put it this way. If I had the money to buy the Tampa Rays, I wouldn't give a s*** about the Tampa area, I would move that team to Portland. What makes you think a purchaser in Vegas, Vancouver, Baltimore, Kansas City, Nashville, Tampa or any other city without a franchise would feel differently?

I don’t need to know who is in the market. Something like 3 teams in the last 50 years have been relocated. It’s not as simple as *buy team* *unilaterally decide to move team* *done*. There are a TON of moving parts… starting with poor attendance, poor facilities - neither of which is Portland. So you’d be looking at the only team EVER to move under those circumstances.

So yeah, keep fishin Jack.
