@dwightjaynes The nba owners will definitely vote to allow him to move. Why would they vote against him when they may need his vote for something in the future?
@tarenfeist It would be dumb to let the Blazers leave. Taxpayers will still foot the bill eventually to update the arena but without the state and counties help this time, so taxpayers be on the hook for more.
@jc_bradbury Having the Blazers in town is better than narcan and tarps for all. One way or another the city is gonna blow the money, I’d rather it go to the area to keep the team here, keep people employed, and small businesses that thrive because of events at Moda remain in business.
@mikegooding14@Oregonian But tax payers like you and me aren’t paying for it. The bill specifically states it’s taxes generated from athletes and artists performing and playing in the state of Oregon at the Moda Center who’s tax dollars will be used. No team = no tax dollars. You pay zero.
