Blazers Stay or Go? The Real Countdown Begins | Portland Trail Blazers News

The Portland Trail Blazers’ future at the Moda Center is far from settled — August 12th’s city council vote is just the opening play, not the final score. Mayor Keith Wilson made clear it won’t lock in public funding or guarantee the team stays. The real action kicks off after that, with four months to hammer out binding lease and renovation terms before December. While all parties agree on a $573M public funding figure, a major sticking point remains: the city’s right to sue the Blazers if they leave — a threat they won’t back down from. This isn’t a sprint; it’s a marathon, and the outcome hinges on negotiations that begin now. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
