Blazers’ Future Hangs on Arena Deal | Portland Trail Blazers News

The Portland Trail Blazers’ future in town is hanging by a thread as owner Tom Dundon pushes for a $600 million arena renovation while refusing to guarantee the team stays put. Critics call the situation a mess, blaming past moves for widening the gap between the franchise and fans—especially as relocation isn’t possible until 2030. The team insists the 1995 lease is outdated and needs a fair deal to fund a long-term renovation, while Dundon argues they’re already contributing through ticket taxes and wouldn’t raise prices without them. With construction deadlines looming, the clock is ticking—and the city’s basketball soul may be on the line.
