Episode Details

Portland’s city leaders are racing to finalize a Moda Center renovation deal to keep the Trail Blazers in town, with a term sheet potentially headed to the team this week ahead of an August 12 council vote. City Administrator Raymond Lee says the Blazers are holding back, waiting for key info — while Councilor Candace Avalos counters that the team is dragging its feet, refusing to engage. A new group, “We Are Rip City,” is pushing for urgency. Sports columnist John Canzano adds fuel to the fire, suggesting the new ownership may not be fully committed — raising fears the Blazers could be looking elsewhere. The city says whatever the team returns with will be reviewed and presented to council before the final vote.
