Evaluating John Canzano’s Column About the Trail Blazers Lease, Potential Sale

Today John Canzano of The Oregonian published a column about the potential sale of the Portland Trail Blazers. It centered around an interview with Portland City Commissioner Nick Fish, who indicated that he expects the Portland Trail Blazers to be sold at “some point”. Fish also told Canzano that he’s been told former owner Paul Allen’s estate will take “about five to six years to be settled.”

The article has caused quite a stir, raising concerns about relocation. Fish himself acknowledges the topic of the team possibly moving:

“It’s a huge wildcard and it reminds us we can’t take anything for granted in the Rose Quarter,” Fish said.
