PORTLAND, Ore. — The difference in opinion is widening between the Trail
Blazers and the city of Portland as the NBA team’s new ownership looks for
public funding to renovate the arena where it plays its games.
隨著拓荒者隊新任老闆尋求公共資金整修球隊主場，拓荒者與波特蘭市政府之間的分歧正
持續擴大。
“I think we are very far apart,’’ said a team source Sunday, one of two
within the Blazers who were granted anonymity to discuss the situation freely.
「我認為雙方目前的立場相差非常遠。」一位球隊內線人士週日表示。為了能自由討論此
事，兩位受訪的拓荒者內部人士皆要求匿名。
On Friday, the city of Portland sent the Blazers a term sheet for a
20-year-lease agreement. If the Blazers agree to the terms, the team would
receive $600 million in public funds to renovate the Moda Center. Of
significance, the city is asking the Blazers to pay $3 million annually for a
property tax offset, which would escalate over time. Additionally, the deal
would require the Blazers to hire union workers and set caps on project-cost
overruns.
上週五，波特蘭市政府向拓荒者提出一份為期20年的球館租約條款書。如果拓荒者接受條
件，球隊將可獲得600M的公共資金用於翻新Moda Center。其中最具爭議的是，市政府要求
拓荒者每年支付3M作為房產稅補償，且這筆費用未來還會逐年增加。此外，協議還要求拓
荒者必須雇用工會勞工，並對工程超支設定上限。
“The term sheet is a non-starter,’’ the source said. “I don’t know why
they sent it to us, because they know very little of the stuff we would agree
to. They are playing politics at this point.”
The Trail Blazers’ board of directors meets Monday and will address the term
sheet to determine a course of action. The city is set to vote on the funding
Aug. 12. A deal must be struck before Dec. 31 for $365 million in state
funding to be included.
「這份條款根本沒有談判空間，」該消息人士表示。「我不知道他們為什麼把這份文件送
給我們，因為他們很清楚，裡面幾乎沒有任何內容是我們會同意的。他們現在就是在搞政
治。」
拓荒者董事會將於週一召開會議，討論這份條款書，並決定接下來的行動方向。波特蘭市
政府預計將於8月12日就這筆資金進行表決。若要將州政府提供的365M補助納入這項計畫，
雙方必須在12月31日前達成協議。
The Trail Blazers’ future in Portland could be at stake. Their lease ends in
2030, and there is unspoken tension about whether new owner Tom Dundon would
move the team to another city. Two high-ranking sources inside the Blazers
said Dundon has never mentioned relocating the Trail Blazers.
“No one with the Blazers has ever said we want to move,’’ a team source
said. “We don’t want that. We want to stay in Portland.’’
拓荒者在波特蘭的未來可能正面臨考驗。球隊與Moda Center的租約將於2030年到期，而外
界也一直存在一股未明說的緊張氛圍，擔心新任老闆Tom Dundon是否會將球隊遷往其他城
市。不過，兩位拓荒者高層消息人士表示，Dundon從未提過搬遷球隊。
「拓荒者從來沒有人說過我們想搬走，」一位球隊消息人士表示。「我們不希望那樣，我
們想留在波特蘭。」
Both the Blazers and city politicians have accused the other of foul play.
Some city council members are upset because they feel the Blazers haven’t
been transparent in how the public funds would be spent.
“I think the Blazers have been behaving poorly,’’ councilor Mitch Green
said. “They thought because they passed the state legislature (for $365
million in funding) that the deal was done. But we have a set of councilors
who are asking tough questions. And this is Portland, Oregon, where people
want more public transparency than there has been.’’
目前，拓荒者與波特蘭市政界都互相指責對方處理不當。一些市議員感到不滿，因為他們
認為拓荒者沒有公開說明公共資金將如何使用。
市議員 Mitch Green 表示：「我認為拓荒者的做法很不妥。他們以為州議會批准了365M的
補助，這筆交易就算談成了。但我們這裡有一群會提出尖銳問題的市議員。而這裡是奧勒
岡州的波特蘭，人們希望看到比現在更多的公共透明度。」
The Blazers say their reluctance to share renovation plans is twofold: 1)
Most of their renovation plans are “ideas or concepts.” 2) They were
offended when councilor Steve Novick in June threatened to sue them for not
maintaining the Moda Center as a first-class venue.
“We don’t even want to respond to the term sheet until they remove that gun
to our head,’’ a source said, referring to Novick’s threat.
Another Blazers source said they don’t want to share plans of what they want
to renovate until they are assured the information they provide won’t be
included in a suit.
拓荒者表示，他們不願公開整修計畫有兩個原因：第一，目前大部分整修內容仍只是「構
想或概念」；第二，今年6月市議員Steve Novick威脅要對球隊提起訴訟，理由是球隊未能
將Moda Center維持在一流場館的水準，這讓他們感到相當不滿。
「在他們把那把槍從我們頭上拿開之前，我們甚至不想回應這份條款書，」一位消息人士
表示，這裡指的是Novick的訴訟威脅。
另一位拓荒者消息人士表示，在確定他們提供的資訊不會被納入任何訴訟之前，他們不願
公開任何想要翻修的具體計畫。
“On the one hand, they say we haven’t kept the building up,’’ one Blazers
source said. “But at the same time, they are saying, ‘What’s wrong with
the building?’ There’s a lot of talking out of both sides of their mouth.’
’
Included in the Blazers’ renovation concepts are a new atrium entrance on
the north side of the arena, which would ease the flow of traffic entering
and exiting the building. Also, the arena operates with one main kitchen; the
hope is to have kitchens on all three levels to enhance fans’ concession
experience. There are also concepts for eliminating some of the 300-level
seating and building a bar, as well as updating the club-level seating.
「一方面，他們說我們沒有把球館維護好，」一位拓荒者消息人士表示。「但另一方面，
他們又問我們：『球館到底哪裡有問題？』他們根本就是自相矛盾。」
拓荒者提出的整修構想包括在球館北側增設一座新的中庭入口，以改善球迷進出球館時的
人流動線。
此外，目前球館只有一座主要廚房，球隊希望能在三個樓層都設置廚房，提升球迷購買餐
飲的體驗。
其他構想還包括取消部分三樓座位並興建一座酒吧，以及更新俱樂部層的座位設施。
Green, the councilor for Portland’s fourth district, said he and the 11
other councilors want to be informed before agreeing to a deal.
“We need to see a scope and scale of what this money is paying for,’’
Green said. “That’s pretty basic. So, they need to make a good-faith effort
on that. You’ve got a city council that is not a rubber-stamp council, and,
depending on where you sit in the city, that may be a good or bad thing. But
those are the stakes, and those are the conditions (the Blazers) face. What’
s standing between the Trail Blazers and a bunch of public money for a
stadium deal is their willingness to accommodate this council.’’
波特蘭第四選區市議員Mitch Green表示，他與其他11位市議員希望在同意這項協議之前，
先充分了解相關內容。
「我們需要看到這筆資金究竟會用在哪些項目、整體規模有多大，」Green 表示。「這是
非常基本的要求。因此，他們必須展現誠意，努力提供這些資訊。現在的市議會不是一個
會照單全收的市議會，至於這對城市而言是好是壞，取決於你站在哪個立場。但這就是現
況，也是（拓荒者）必須面對的條件。如今，阻擋拓荒者獲得這筆公共資金、完成球館協
議的關鍵，就在於他們是否願意配合這屆市議會。」
In March, the Blazers thought they had a deal with the city after securing a
$365 million commitment from the state for renovations to the Moda Center.
That sum is contingent upon the city of Portland agreeing to release $120
million in funds and Multnomah County adding $88 million. The Blazers say a
handshake agreement with Mayor Keith Wilson, the city and the county was made
in March, and are confused why there has been a shift.
“They have made this a bit of a political football,’’ said a second source
inside the Blazers. “They’re asking for things that change the deal
dramatically.’’
今年3月，在成功爭取到州政府承諾提供365M用於翻新Moda Center後，拓荒者原本認為已
經與市政府達成協議。
不過，這筆州政府資金的前提是，波特蘭市政府必須另外提供120M，而Multnomah County
則需再提供88M。
拓荒者表示，今年3月時，他們已與市長Keith Wilson、波特蘭市政府及Multnomah County
達成口頭協議，因此對於如今情勢突然出現變化感到相當困惑。
「他們把這件事變成了一顆政治足球，」另一位拓荒者內部消息人士表示。「他們現在提
出的要求，已經大幅改變了原本談好的協議。」
Elliott Kozuch, a spokesman for the city administrator, confirmed there was
momentum with city officials in March toward reaching an agreement, but
nothing concrete.
“While city leadership did endorse the conceptual funding proposal in March,
it was always clear that City Council and County Commission approval would be
required to formalize the local government commitments,’’ Kozuch said.
Kozuch said the Blazers have worked with the City Administrator’s office by
sharing some of their plans, but added that the city needs to see more.
“The Trail Blazers shared high-level concepts for potential upgrades to the
arena, but the city has not received a formal design review or detailed
project plan. A complete understanding of proposed improvements will require
additional information as negotiations continue.’’
波特蘭市行政官辦公室發言人Elliott Kozuch證實，今年3月市府確實一度朝著與拓荒者達
成協議的方向推進，但當時並沒有任何具法律效力的正式協議。
「雖然市府領導層在3月支持了這項概念性的資金提案，但一直都很清楚，要正式確認地方
政府的資金承諾，仍必須獲得市議會與郡委員會的批准，」Kozuch表示。
Kozuch說，拓荒者一直有與市行政官辦公室合作，也分享了部分整修計畫，但他補充指出
，市府仍需要看到更多細節。
「拓荒者分享的是球館升級的高層次構想，但市府至今尚未收到正式的設計審查文件或詳
細的工程計畫。隨著協商持續進行，要完整了解他們提出的改善方案，仍需要更多資訊。
」
Where those future negotiations are headed remains unclear, but right now
each side is digging in, believing they have the leverage.
A Blazers source said the team has been examining other recent arena deals in
Oklahoma City and Utah, and may start looking for a new deal in Portland —
which might even include asking for a new arena in Portland.
“The city’s delay has given us time to study what a market deal is,’’ the
Blazers source said. “And let’s just say the $600 million deal that was
supposed to be done six months ago was a way-below-market deal.’’
未來協商將朝哪個方向發展仍不明朗，但目前雙方都堅守各自立場，認為自己握有談判籌
碼。
一位拓荒者消息人士表示，球隊近期一直在研究奧克拉荷馬與猶他的新球館協議，並可能
開始在波特蘭尋求新的合作方案，甚至不排除要求興建一座全新的球館。
「市政府的拖延，反而讓我們有時間研究市場行情，」這位拓荒者消息人士表示。「只能
說，原本六個月前應該完成的那份600M協議，遠遠低於市場行情。」
Meanwhile, Green said the threat of Dundon leaving Portland doesn’t move him.
“Every indication I read about Tom Dundon is that he makes decisions based
almost solely upon whether or not it’s going to increase his profit,’’
Green said. “If he moves the team, it’s because he thinks he can get a
better deal. And if I’m in Tom Dundon’s shoes, and I’m trying to do that
calculus, then I’m going to be evaluating the cost of moving the team versus
the cost of coming to the table and making these councilors happy. Right now,
it’s a matter of $120 million. Like, if Dundon came out today and said ‘I’
m gonna pick up the tab on the $120 [million] … that would probably get us
to the finish line tomorrow.’’
In the meantime, a fanbase waits and worries, wondering whether the business
of basketball will lead to no NBA basketball in Portland in 2031.
與此同時，Green表示，Dundon可能將球隊遷離波特蘭的威脅並不會影響他的立場。
「從我所了解的Tom Dundon來看，他做決定幾乎完全是基於是否能增加自己的利益，」
Green表示。「如果他真的把球隊搬走，那也是因為他認為自己可以獲得更好的條件。如果
我是Tom Dundon，而我正在做這樣的權衡，那我會評估的是：搬遷球隊的成本，與坐下來
談判、讓這些市議員滿意的成本相比，哪一個更划算。」
「現在的差距就是120M。如果Dundon今天站出來說：『這120M我來出……』那我們大概明
天就能完成這筆協議。」
與此同時，球迷們只能一邊等待、一邊擔憂，不知道籃球這門生意，是否最終會讓波特蘭
在2031年失去NBA球隊。
最關鍵的點:叫市政府出的120M自己出就沒事了(X
但認真說 到底為啥拓荒者會覺得可以跟政府談好就好不用管議會= =
而且就只是交個計畫書的事情
