Jody Allen might be the most unusual pro sports owner ever

[immediately googles 'prevailing theory on s2']

 

Interesting, I didn't notice that. What stood out to you?

 

Our AI overlords have spoken. YOU'RE WRONG BARFO.

It turns out to be extremely difficult to find overarching “conspiracy” or fringe theories on the Sportstwo Portland Trail Blazers forum that have wide traction—no major hidden agendas, elaborate fan myths, or troll lore appear to dominate the discussion. Instead, most of the prevailing themes are centered on real roster-building issues, team direction, and the looming franchise sale. Here's what the forums are actually focused on lately:

1. Trade Rumors & Team Rebuild Speculation

• A popular topic is whether the Blazers will trade Ayton or Williams, and whether Clingan is being groomed as the starter for next season (sportstwo.com).
  
  
• Threads like "Official Jerami Grant trade rumors/ideas" discuss active negotiations and buyout strategies (sportstwo.com).
  

2. Season Outlook & Western Conference Projections

• Forum members debate where Portland will finish in the 2025–26 season, considering fan sentiment, team age, and statistical performance projections from the current year (sportstwo.com).
  
  
• The “State of the Blazers” thread reflects on how they ranked ~21st in record and stats during the 2024–25 campaign (sportstwo.com).
  

3. Future of the Franchise: Sale & Relocation Concerns

• With the Blazers officially up for sale (Paul Allen estate is handling it), there’s significant discussion about whether a future owner might consider relocating the team (sportsbusinessjournal.com).
  
  
• That said, many forum participants firmly believe a move is unlikely, given local TV market strength and fan passion. One Reddit summary quotes:
  
  “Not going anywhere… Portland has two pro teams… Blazers aren’t going anywhere.”
  Another adds: “Expansion will put 3–5 billion dollars per expansion team… expansion not relocation.” (reddit.com)
  

️ 4. Arena & Lease Scenario

• Fans are also weighing the long-term arena agreement with Moda Center, which is contractually secured through at least the 2029‑30 season and possibly extended to 2034‑35—regardless of team ownership changes (sportsbusinessjournal.com).
  

Summary Table

Topic Area Forum Focus
Roster / Trades Ayton/Williams trade speculation, building toward Clingan starting
Season Outlook Predicted wins, expected ranking relative to team age and performance
Sale & Relocation Risk Concerns from ownership change balanced by skepticism of a move
Arena & Lease Security Long-term Moda Center agreement seen as a relocation deterrent
In short, the prevailing “theories” on the Sportstwo Blazers forums are deeply rooted in practical concerns: trades, season expectations, franchise sale implications, and lease details—not sensational rumors. Fans are engaged and often cautious, but the tone is one of realism, not metaphorical plot twists.

If there’s a specific thread or rumor you came across, I can dig deeper into that too!

 

Paul hired Neil Olshey and filled the roster with tiny ISO guards through the draft
Jody fired Olshey and hired a guy who did a photo negative of the Olshey era and got bigger and more defensive oriented.
I think since Aldridge left, we now have a better foundation than we've had through most of the Dame era. We even developed a coach in the process.
Jody has one flaw in the public eye...she doesn't talk in public or give interviews...she's a wallflower... Paul was all over the microphone about the team. Joe's not a big talker either...not like Olshey was. That doesn't bother me at all. Casey will tell me pretty much anything I need to know about the team in quick fashion. Chauncey is a talker. Stotts wasn't so much.

 

some fans are here for the hate. They are miserable losers who need a bad guy to be angry with. Hating/being angry openly in public is accepted in sports culture & so they use the cover of sports fandom as an excuse to get their hate on. Thats all there is to it.

STOMP

 

Hey this is slander on people who hate themselves. I hate myself and I still don’t hate on Jody.

 

I found it interesting that Jody could theoretically start another private equity firm and purchase the Blazers and still abide by Pauls wishes, to sell, and give the money away.

 

I think people hate bert way more than jody, tbh. I haven't seen much jody hate recently but maybe i'm not as plugged in as barfo is.

did anyone else enjoy that bert is immediately presented as a college roommate of paul's vs. a high up executive at vulcan? apt.

 

100% and we still got those negative Nancy’s running around, but it’s far less than before imo.
