Key question regarding moves by Dwight Jaynes. Neil: "Everyone knows what Paul's goals were, and if there is a move that makes us a better now, it will be made. And everyone in the organization will try to keep his vision." This is somewhat reassuring.
The smartest thing for us fans to do would be to have a welcome to Rip City night for Jody Allen in a month or two. Make her fall in love with the city and team.
I can't expect a new owner to be as deeply invested in the team, and willing to spend to the level Paul did in order to compete, but I don't expect the Blazers to be moving out of Portland anytime soon.
You can't trust those suits. I'm pretty sure McGowan and Olshey already know what THEY are going to do.
I’ve been day dreaming that somehow we can work out a way to buy the team as a city like greenbay did with the packers
Maybe her son Duncan will talk her out of selling either, he’s 29 and a Hawks fan. Everyone should start blowing up his social media.
Paul has given away BILLIONS, it would have cemented his name in OREGON history FOREVER If he would of left the Blazers to the City/Fans. But it’s already cemented either way.
A huge problem for the sustainability of the Blazers in Portland is that we don't have that owner who will spend the extra money anymore. How are we going to put a squad together. Don't have money to overpay, players don't like living in Portland.
