“Portland’s nature is much more beautiful. It’s a very special place, and there are several areas there that are very nice to live in, and that’s probably where I’ll go. There’s a lake there and a community that really likes the Blazers and is much more connected to their sport and their team as a city,” Avdija compared. “It’s less vibrant than Washington. It’s the capital city, and people forget that it’s a very diplomatic city. There’s something about Washington that’s a bit ‘cold’ because a lot of people come from the outside for all the embassies and jobs,” he said. “People come from the outside to work, and it doesn’t feel like home anymore. Portland’s a city where people live, so it’s more authentic.” -via BasketNews / September 24, 2024
