I hate this because it's bad for Seattle, bad for the northwest, bad for the Blazers...
I don't get this because it seems like it's bad for the NBA.
Seattle/Portland is a natural rivalry, but the two teams have never really been great at the same time. With Oden and Durant landing in the two cities at the same time, it seemed like that time had come. It sucks that we wont be able to see that now.
Plus, Oklahoma City? This is the next NBA town? I mean no offense to anyone, but it's boring. It's fucking boring. I can't even get up for the new name/uniform. We'll see if it ends up being like Sacramento and Portland, but I don't think supporting a heartbreak team for a limited basis means you're a viable NBA city. Portland sells out arenas when Premier League teams come visit, but we wouldn't sell out a whole season.
