Notice Expansion Vote This Summer

[julius]

if you’re the league, expansion must serve to make the Western Conference less competitive, so that means moving a top team from the west to the east. I’d love to see the Thunder move and I’d make the case that Oklahoma feels less western than Minnesota, which feels more like Oregon than Oklahoma does. And you can set up a future finals grudge match between the Thunder and the Supersonics, which would rule.

While I agree that I'd like to see the Thunder shot into the sun, er, moved to the east, they're too close to the Texas teams to not be a western conference team.

Minnesota is a lot like the Blazers (until the Sonics come back), they're not close to ANY western conference team.

I used to like expansion....but it made me cough a lot.

Are you crazy? Well, we all know the answer to that.
Climate Pledge is definitely nicer than the Moda Center. The concourse for example is much better, obviously newer and a more modern/clean look and feel.
Because you are always working the games at Moda, do you ever actually go walk around the concourse on the 100 level, 300 level, etc? You must not if you think Climate Pledge isnt better and is a "dump".
But then again you think NE Portland is nice so your opinion is taken with a grain of salt .....

That's the kind of love I wish certain former Blazers would express to the city of Portland.

I hate Seattle but I’d be angry if Seattle didn’t get a team, the deserve it. That said I’ll hate them once they do get a team

 

[julius]

I hope the NBA only has one of the cities as a potential, and the other as a 100% certainty.

Seattle better get their records back.

 

[THE HCP]

I swore that OKC didn’t even have their records. That they “left them in Seattle” for this exact situation.

[blazerfan11]

Yes. Does anyone think Seattle will get a team if Las Vegas pays $20 billion more and another city offers $10-20 billion more?

I say, no, they will not get a $10-20 billion discount. That's bogus.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Mexico City is going to offer $20 billion, and the owners will put Seattle on the back burner.

After admitting in numerous interviews that taking the Sonics away from Seattle was one of the dumbest decisions in the NBA. That would be a very dumb move.

If the owners could each put over half a billion dollars in their pockets, they would put Seattle on the back burner.

Once the sale of the Blazers go through, there will be only 10 owners left who owned teams when the Sonics left Seattle. Not sure if the new owners are interested in fixing a mistake or buying a new yacht.

 

[wizenheimer]

are they talking about the expansion fee?

there's actually an auction option on that fee?
