Bill Oram: Why Portland is still in the mix for a WNBA team, and how Damian Lillard fits in

Paywall. Lemme guess. Lillard has enough money to be owner?
Paywall.
Summary?
Dame would be a great face for a new team in Portland, but it sounded like there were multiple issues preventing Portland from being selected last time
The only reason we didn’t get it this cycle is because upcoming stadium renovations would take place right over the WNBA season. So WNBA understandably wants to wait for that to be done
Did we not used to have a WNBA team? I feel like they gave out free tickets in elementary school
