Blazers at Risk of Relocation | Portland Trail Blazers News

The Portland Trail Blazers are on the brink of a historic NBA relocation debate, as new owner Tom Dundon seeks $600 million in public funding to keep the team in Portland — a deal the city is willing to make, but only under strict conditions including rising tax offsets, union hiring mandates, and cost controls. Fans and media are buzzing about the possibility — the first NBA move since the Nets relocated to Brooklyn in 2008 — but insiders insist the team’s leadership has no intention of leaving. Complicating matters, the Blazers must secure $365 million in state funding by December 31st, or lose it entirely, while their current arena lease expires in 2030 — a looming deadline that’s fueling the conversation.
