    Unless the internet is wrong, his net worth is like 300 million. How is he able to buy the Blazers?


    Oooh, it's a group.

    Dundon is from Dallas, I wonder if Cuban is going to be part of the ownership group.

    Wait, he's from Dallas? I bet they're moving the team there!

    They'd rather have Yang over Flagg, obviously.

    Austin is primed for an NBA team.

    I don’t like this.

    Yes, because the Texas NBA market is obviously underserved.

    He just needs a red baseball cap, and he is all set:

    "Dundon’s attire is typically the same every day: a sweatshirt-trackpants combination, often all black, with a matching Hurricanes baseball cap.

    “Doesn’t matter if he’s going to a league meeting or a hockey game,” Waddell said. “Everybody’s in suits and stuff, he’s in a sweatsuit. He couldn’t care less, and that’s what I like about him.”

    He may not dress like a sharp-elbowed businessman, but Dundon has nevertheless earned a reputation for taking a hardball approach to his running of the organization."

    Seems like he’s all about NC. Considering they already have the Hornets I suspect he is not moving the team.
