    All too late.

    Though that's on Paul more.

    She just needs to sell. Maybe moreso for Bert.

    We just need new ownership. Period.

    Given how Olshey acted in public, does it really surprise anybody he was Toxic behind the scenes?
    Do you honestly think he could have acted that way without Bert and/or Jody serving as enablers?
    Does anybody really buy the idea that Jody has suddenly become a big fan after years of ignoring the team?
    Does anybody actually find it hard to believe Bert is the real decision maker?

    Denial is an ugly thing. Doubly so when you are selling out to defend people who have done nothing to deserve your loyalty.

    Sounds like Bert Kolde is the biggest problem. Needs to go on and get his own team.

    I can't fn stand Jody Allen. She has NEVER wanted anything to do with this basketball team and she is not the one we need finding a new hobby as a basketball owner. Paul would be pissed that she hasn't tried to break bread with Dame Dolla

    I've seen this numerous times first hand. She is a fan of the team now. She even does the stupid cheers during timeouts and stuff. It's not fake. Before the games several players will go over and give her a hug and talk with her for a couple minutes.

    This isn't defending her, but it's definitely possible once she owned the team and was involved that she ended up liking it. This particular point shouldn't be part of the discussion, IMO.

    People on here aren't taking this article seriously, but casual fans and fans of other teams are eating this up.

    I can confirm part of it!

    Yes, we do have a player named Damian Lillard on the team.

    Sorry, but someone who sniffs butts isn't what I would call credible.

    I am well aware that women are as capable of being shitty owners as men (Marge Schott), but a woman in a male dominated world is often held to different standards. This looks like a rehash of old gossip fed to a tabloid by someone with an agenda.

    He got a payoff and a nondisclosure agreement.

    While I don't doubt some validity to some of it.....

    Are we really hanging on every word of Larry Miller? I mean, one, he worked for Phil Knight and Nike. Remind me... who is trying to buy the Blazers from Jody Allen?

    And two.... we really hanging on every word of THE Larry Miller? Admitted and convicted murderer? Admitted years after the fact? The guy who basically hid this from the entire public?

    OK.....

    Larry Miller's history and track record does not speak to his honesty, integrity, or motive....

    Well yeah, I was going to point out that Dame could be taking the 4chan approach in attempt to get him to commit suicide. With the bridge and the severing of loyal ties - plus with Dame's rap career it would make sense that he would use allusion to get his point across rather than to be direct. I did some calculations(not rocket science ones) and it's highly likely I am right.

    Imagine this but as a deepfake of Jody. The technology is there and so now is the idea. What can be done to make it happen?

    If the Dame story was true, I think Dame would’ve asked for a trade by now tbh. That’s a bit of disrespect and we know Dame doesn’t do disrespect.
