  "summary": "The Portland Trail Blazers are aiming to secure a total of $573 million in funding from county, city, and state officials. While a vote Thursday sets the stage for negotiations, the exact funding will depend on the outcomes of talks between the Blazers, the city of Portland, and county officials. The city council is expected to vote on Portland's contribution of $120 million next week, and the state legislature has already allocated $365 million, contingent on reaching a new lease agreement by the end of the year.",
