Phil Knight and Alan Smolinski are successful businessmen. Jody Allen is the very fortunate sister of Paul, and by all appearances not a successful businessperson. (judging by the Blazers, Seahawks, and Sounders fall from grace) Mr's. Knight and Smolinski will own the Blazers, and it cannot happen soon enough. Cheers, Bert.
I mentioned Phil Knight and so did probably a dozen others. Just because it's not a comment about Nurkic doesn't mean the comments didn't happen jeezus.
It was a good idea for Phil Knight to get out in front of the process. He is showing that he is seriously interested in ownership of the Trail Blazers and not just another name in the hat. It might not look good for Jody if she sells to somebody from out of state.
lol i read the names of merritt paulson and larry ellison and jeff bezos ex-wife, i didnt see the name of phil knight obviously, i didnt follow the thread closely
I think a lot of people on this board might have something for Bert. It's not $3B. Mrs. HCP might be able to help him out with what it is.
Wait what? Jody Allen who CLEARLY neither cares about the Blazers nor has the faintest fucking clue what she's doing is what, trying to strong-arm Phil Knight for a better offer, or be a greedy B*** hoping one of the very, VERY few people on Earth who can make a better offer appear in a puff of smoke? Man this B*** what the fuck is she doing?!!??!
It was said in many threads, many times, usually, people would tell me and other Phil Knight ownership fans that it was unlikely based on past quotes and his age. I would always reply "Ok well it's still my dream scenario!".
What do you expect the Blazers to say when this offer was supposed to be private and assuming the team if not up for sale as of this moment is getting ready to be then the team has to play this smart. We all want Jody to go to them take the 2b dollar check and hand over the team like 2min ago but this is a complicated process that needs to play out and NOT in the press.
Remember how Donald Sterling refused to sell the Clippers even as he nickeled and dimed them into perpetual crappitude. The only way they got rid of him was a scandal. Hmm...
She...is doing nothing. That's her skill. Like a kardashian. It's the MFer kolde that's pulling the strings, I would bet.
