The Coliseum makes since.

Makes the most sense to me. Brings more basketball to Portland, utilizes an arena space we already have, and keeps 2way players close if they need to be recalled.

I think GMs don't like other GMs who HAVE to win trades. Or maybe not even just win... but dominate. Ainge is like that. Kevin Pritchard was developing a reputation like that. I remember reading that a lot of GMs were bristling at the "Pritch slap" moniker. I'm not sure if that's how the league perceived Neil, but the guy just came off as such an arrogant prick. I would personally not want to work with him. He's the type A douche who everyone hates on their team, because he's proud of being an asshole.

I'd think that if during a discussion about a potential trade if one GM takes irrational positions and makes insulting offers, he's going to generate a lot of animus from the other GM

there was pretty substantial reporting that when Indiana was shopping Paul George, Olshey was offering the three 2017 draft picks (all outside of the lottery) while holding CJ untouchable; meaning he was offering the thee picks and a combo like Harkless and Meyers. That was insulting. A year later he reportedly made insulting cheapscrew offers for Jimmy Butler. All the while grossly overvaluing his own guys. Simply put...those were not legitimate offers at all. They were time-wasting offers and shit like that gets around

At least until the Sonics come back, a G-League team in Tacoma makes a lot of sense. They have an arena the Blazers have used before and it's easy to get back and forth.

Eugene also works, assuming they could use Matthew Knight Arena. The airport there is big enough to fly in and out and the commute isn't bad if you have to drive it.

I'd definitely go to G-League games in Eugene if the price wasn't too high.
 
Ok. I changed my mind. Put the G league team in Tallahassee. Just for me.
 
I think Boise would be a good idea. But, only if all of their drivers take a strict driving test and 90% pass. Idaho drivers are bad. Not as bad as Boston, Ohio or Iowa. But, bad.

There's always that guy in fantasy league...
 
I'd buy season tickets to the Salem 503 or whatever other stupid name they would come up with.

The midwest sucks. Kansas City is literally the worst big city in the US.

I disagree that the Midwest sucks and KC has some of the best bbq but otherwise, ya, it leaves a little to be desired.

Interesting market though.

Disagree on the bbq. Went there and had it because everyone raves about it. Was not impressed.
 
Put the team in Hawaii!

The two multiple people raved about while there. Q39 and Jack Stack.

I thought Buster's BBQ was just as good. I liked the Quizno's bbq sandwich I had there more than the restaurant stuff.

What kind of BBQ do you like? There is Texas style, Kansas City style, Carolina style, Memphis style, 'Bama style, and subsets of those.
 
I like the Mongolian BBQ best...no charred flavor..Hawaiian Pit BBQ is the best for western style BBQ in my view.
 
I like that Joe added a couple international scouts to the staff citing how important that pool is to the league today.
