Wait so all the scuttle about the team not meeting with the city was BS?

An update for Blazers fans... The city plans to meet with the team 2x/wk plus ad hoc as needed. They anticipate frequency picking up eventually. The 2x/wk meetings have been happening for a few months, I'm told. Now, there's approved term sheet to discuss. katu.com/news/local/wat…

While I’m pleased with yesterday’s vote, I’m less pleased by some allowing the Blazers to say they’re losing money without also adding they were 19th out of 30 teams in revenue in 24-25 and had a higher operating income than the Dallas Mavericks in tax friendly TX (111m vs. 87m).

@mbrawley1 @skywaker9 @ModaCenter Dundon is going to get so much money out of expansion fees from Seattle and Vegas - I don’t really think they have any leverage to refuse to pay any annual costs to use the building that the City now owns.

@mbrawley1 @skywaker9 @ModaCenter That actually wasn’t an official term sheet. It was merely a draft that the mayor and a few of the council members sent to the team as a courtesy - it was never officially voted on. It was used as a tool to get the Blazers back to the table…

@mbrawley1 @skywaker9 @ModaCenter I think they will essentially let the Blazers pick one or the other provision in negotiations. Pretty common to start from a stronger position in negotiations.

Interesting how Hankins comments have completely changed since they got crucified following their last public comments meeting with the city council. If I were to speculate, I wouldn’t be surprised if the league office got involved with Dundon and Blazers.

Clint Capela catching an absolute stray from Councilor Novick in his final comments. Paraphrased: "Would you rather pay $6M a year for a nice, new arena or Clint Capela?"

The sooner people realize ethical Billionaires don’t exist, the better. You don’t gain that much wealth without exerting power, influence and exploitation of labor or market advantages.

The last few ownership moves in the NBA: Tom Dundon is cheap and threatening to move the Blazers who’ve been in Portland for 56 years. Mark Walker is under investigation for fraud and using $16B-$21B in money of American citizens to illegal fund his other businesses. Mat

@mbrawley1 @skywaker9 I would imagine after the recent comments regarding the Blazers unwillingness for pay that amount the city is raising the amount in order to negotiate back down to 2-3million with the team.

@jhassler80 @blazersJJ They are subleasing from Rip City management which is operated by the Blazers. Usually the primary leasee would negotiate regarding the terms of maintenance, etc. with the building owner. Asking sublease tenants to contribute directly to renovation costs would be rare.

It honestly makes more sense that the city had to go public with draft terms sent since the Blazers didn’t give the city any formal indication of what kind of terms that they wanted.

WOAH. Blazers leaked emails show they refused to respond to city emails asking basic questions, weeks before any “first-class” claim was mentioned, contradicting Dewayne Hankins claim that that claim “chilled negotiations” They were not negotiating in good faith from the

I don’t know that Hankins is really ready for the criticism that is coming his way in a public forum. The terms that Portland already sent the Blazers is perfectly reasonable lease agreement that is on the table.

Except the narrative the Blazers and you are painting isn’t actually supported by the revenue they have brought in, in comparison to other NBA franchises and also other Portland franchises like the Timbers.

The Blazers debate is about more than basketball. Yes, Portland has one of the NBA’s most loyal fan bases. But pro sports isn’t driven by fan passion alone. It’s driven by TV revenue, corporate sponsorships, premium seating, and business investment. Portland ranks near the

Hankins 10 months ago: “On the business side, it’s been incredible. Great 2nd half of the season in terms of ticket sales, we hit all of our revenue goals, got to 91% season ticket renewal, which is great for us. And we’re 5th in the league right now in new season ticket sales.”

I don’t know why this is so hard for people. True: The city and county need to pass the funding bill to put the ball in Dundon and the NBA’s court. Also true: The tactics Dundon and the Blazers are using to distract from the new deal are also total bullshit.

For ppl arguing the city shouldn't have bought arena in '24: decision was made when the city signed the original lease in the 90's. The city had 2 options: take it or demolish it. "Kosei" is property the city bought for $7M. The land sale is outlined in original lease too.
