Nobody wanted to buy until we drafted Yang. Chinese market are buying Portland jerseys. Put us on the map 🗺️
Bringing back Dame also helped. He owns a NHL team, NHL share the same stadium as NBA teams. Smart purchase!
Fresh haircut Mike!!
Perfect owner for Portland. One of Trump's great allies. 😂
Not a billionaire
It's a great day to be a Blazer
I could see the Lloyd Center area being redeveloped as the mall is dead weight and has been for years. They could play games at the Rose Garden for a few more years until it is completed. Would be a shame to tear down that arena so maybe it can be repurposed, but like you said the surrounding area is limited space wise. Go Blazers.
Annnnnd exhale….
Should have happened five years ago. So it’s about damn time. Now if we could get rid of Grant and Murray..
How would you rate Cuban as a team owner? He was considered pretty involved but had good success. Comcerned about this turning into an Ishbia situation but hopeful it won't.
If this looks like the Diamond Project Public Bond/ Jock Tax to repay the Bond, we're good
Mike, I like how Utah placed their teams. It’s has Utah Trax trains going by it, it’s near Temple Square and City Creek Mall Complex. The only team not near it is in Sandy with RSL. The Blazers and Moda are on the Willamette, but are not near Providence Park for the Timbers.
But I doubt there is a better way to get fans to games than with Utah. The Blazers need a better way of getting fans to the Blazers or Timbers that doesn’t tie up traffic.
Utah also has wide streets and all streets in each direction start both with an LDS Temple and with county lines. I doubt I-15 gets tied up when their teams play.
Also, the Blazers need a new coach and a new direction. The coaching is stale. They need to decide what to do with Memorial Coliseum also.
The Blazers adding a defensive identity is great, but they need to address free agency and offense including three point shooting next summer. They need to specifically draft another or trade for a starting caliber point guard, regardless of whether Scoot succeeds or not. Dame is older and there is no one else to trust. Unless they plan on Deni playing point guard at times.
And keep Williams. Both of our main centers will pick up loads of fouls.
Love it!!!
Portland does not deserve a team. Bye, bye. I understand the new owner says the blazers will stay. But he is lying! They need a new stadium. People in portland are dumb.
What an unbelievable summer for the Trail Blazers of PORTLAND!!!
State fans catching strays
Time to move to Las Vegas!
Great day to be a blazer!
Isn't this what Clay Bennett said when he bought the Sonics? He wasn't going to move the team? Color me skeptical I guess. If they do end up moving the blazers I think that'll basically kill the NBA for me, and I've watched ever blazers game for nearly 20 years.
