Former Blazers guard Terry Porter met with the mayor of Portland on Wednesday to discuss ways that they can keep the club in the city.

"They aren't asking for money; this was not about money," Potter said. "This was about opening lines of communication."

Porter said he met with some 30 potential investors during his trip to Portland, but would not go into specifics.

"We had some very good meetings," Porter said. "We'll circle back in the next three or four days and see where we stand."
