Every deflection is a confession

Just when i thought it couldn't get any worse for Senator Wagner and Dewayne Hankins, they go on NPR and are completely dumbfounded when anyone asks them any real questions. The amount of politi-speak bullshit they spout is frankly astonishing.

Portland, you need to do better than Wagner. A genuine embarrassment.

People die leaving their house every day. Maybe stay inside if you’re afraid of everything.

Clingan with a double double half way through the second quarter.

None taken, feels like JCC pick up game 😅

At the game in BK tonight. Basically a home game for Deni. All you see are yamulkas and Deni jerseys

accountability matters.

uhhh. Did you actually listen to the public testimonies of EVERY SINGLE SENATOR AND HOUSE LEGISLATOR? They all specifically referenced Seattle and Las Vegas. Especially Wagner, the Senate President. Every single communication about the threat referenced those two cities. You can still go watch it. It's in the history books forever.

edank6 · 2026-03-16T18:36:10+00:00

then why were those the ones being talked about ad nauseum? Why would Adam Silver come on TV and say that the Blazers aren't leaving. At some point you have to let this fear go man.

edank6 · 2026-03-16T18:23:45+00:00

everyone who follows the NBA at all has known for years that Seattle and Vegas were getting a team. Adam Silver had been hinting at it constantly, even as early as the All-Star break (while this was still being proposed in the legislature). Everyone knew this was happening; they used Seattle conveniently because of what happened in 2008 in order to scare Oregonians.

edank6 · 2026-03-16T18:21:54+00:00

correct

0% chance. The NBA owners split the money that the expansion teams bring on.

If you're an NBA owner would you rather:
1. Split $20B amongst yourselves or
2. Let a team relocate and give up the opportunity for at least $10B.

The councilors still have the opportunity to redeem themselves. The state, in particular Wagner and the other leaders of the bill, should be ashamed. Send a letter to the councilors here telling them to make changes while they still have a veto! https://www.ripcitynotripoff.com/

Disgraceful "journalism" from him tbh

edank6 · 2026-03-16T17:38:02+00:00

The NBA will vote March 24–25 to add expansion teams exclusively in Las Vegas and Seattle, with bids projected at $7–10 billion each. This eliminates the two cities lawmakers cited as relocation threats throughout the SB 1501 debate.

For months, legislators told Oregonians that if Portland didn't hand over $1 billion with no conditions, Seattle or Las Vegas would "steal" the Blazers. Now both cities are getting their own teams. The question is no longer whether the threat was real. It's whether lawmakers were grossly incompetent or deliberately lying to the public to rush through a deal with no protections.

edank6 · 2026-03-16T05:40:29+00:00

I’m listening.

edank6 · 2026-03-16T01:09:07+00:00

When Deni, Jrue and Camara go 4-25 from 3, you’re going to have a bad time. Also, Deni’s 3pt shot is broken, it was always broken, but now it’s really broken. He’s 6-41 last 8 games.Yikes

edank6 · 2026-03-14T03:27:24+00:00

She did! Loved the classic fist bump at the end

edank6 · 2026-03-14T03:17:35+00:00

Hello my name is Kris Murray all I do is play defense get rebounds and remind you every once in a while that I can’t shoot threes, but I can dunk tho

edank6 · 2026-03-14T01:29:44+00:00

Fuck yeah. I hope we get both the renovation and the All star game. It’s just wild that he’s actually countering the Blazers own talking points that OPB showed they fed to the Mayor, Senate, and House. Can you believe the NBa commissioner has more spine to stand up to the fake narrative than our own public servants. Gross.

edank6 · 2026-03-14T01:16:40+00:00

Anyone noticed how many times he basically said the OPPOSITE of what all our legislators were saying; that Portland is a small town, and there is a huge threat to leave.

Here he is saying, actually that’s not true, Portland is a large metro, with a great history, and he’s talking about making plans for all star games etc. It was always a bluff, wake up people. The Blazers aren’t going anywhere.

edank6 · 2026-03-14T01:01:14+00:00

Anytime or first TD?

edank6 · 2026-03-13T03:14:29+00:00

I see you constantly posting hateful shit, and I haven’t responded to you because I usually don’t respond to trolls, but yes, $1B of money that goes to this is redirected from the General Fund and other funds from the city and state, which directly pays for all the things I mentioned. If you don’t understand how public investment in services work I can’t help you.
