Oram warns Blazers’ Morant trade could revive Jail Blazers, ignite fan fury
Oregonian columnist Bill Oram slammed Portland's trade for Ja Morant as an affront to fans and suggested new owner Tom Dundon may be courting discontent ahead of arena-relocation talks, fearing the move could return the Blazers to the Jail Blazers era. Oram argued Morant could be the 'most radioactive' player in the league and urged an 'unrestrained fury' from supporters, framing the deal within broader tensions surrounding ownership and the team's future in Portland.
