Dundon would then have to convince the other owners to even let him move the team, then incur a huge relocation penalty. The state chose to cave for fear of what you describe, but the city should use the future relocation hassle/costs as leverage for *some* private contribution.
@HPbasketball Yes I’d be the first one to sign a petition if we could make Dundon pay for it. If Portland decides to stand up to it, the likely reward is losing the team, and nobody learns anything bc some smaller city rolls out the red carpet for Dundon and business goes on lol
Just in: The Detroit Pistons are trading C/F Isaiah Stewart to the Memphis Grizzlies for three future second-round picks, sources tell ESPN. Pistons clear Stewart's salary and pick up assets while Grizzlies acquire a 25-year-old as a rugged frontcourt piece.
The Bucks were on the verge of losing a top-25 all time NBA player and they decided to respond by hiring Doc Rivers, whose first demand was they install a $90,000 golf simulator in the practice facility. I’m crying
This is completely missing the point of his defeat. Dan Goldman is very liberal! He is pro-abolish ICE, pro-M4A, and pro Green New Deal. He's to the left, on most every issue, of the median House Democrat in 2018. He lost specifically for being so pro-Israel - there is no constituency in a primary or a general for someone with that profile anymore
ben & jerry (ben cohen & jerry greenfield) tried to boycott their ice cream from being sold in israel, so unilever went behind their back and sold a portion of the company to an israeli licensee against their wishes. israel is selling ben & jerry's through corporate domination
Just in: The Portland Trail Blazers are hiring Minnesota Timberwolves lead assistant Micah Nori as the franchise's next head coach, sources tell ESPN.
