NBA’s Big Relocation Drama: Will Blazers Leave Portland?
Will the Portland Trail Blazers really leave Portland? That’s the biggest new problem the NBA must wrestle with right now as new owner Tom Dundon struggles to reach a deal with local government officials.
On this episode of Business Decision, Mike Vorkunov, a NBA reporter for The Athletic, and Yaron Weitzman discuss if the Blazers would really move. Yaron has fresh new reporting on the topic, having talked to sources at NBA ownership levels. Where could the Blazers go — Austin, Las Vegas, Raleigh, Kansas City?
They lay out how relocation works inside the NBA and if the Blazers have a chance to leave.
23:25 Then, Yaron and Mike play the waiting game. As in waiting for LeBron James to finally pick his new team. The question isn’t where he’ll go but how he’ll make his announcement.
32:40 And a new segment: Summer Storytime! Yaron tells his behind-the-scenes story about how he figured out Joel Embiid’s massive Chik-Fil-A order and why the 76ers star still does not like him.
