    "His group intends to keep the NBA team in Portland."

    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.
