Sounds like Damian should hold a grudge against Phil/Nike, and make him expendable. I mean, it makes sense, since Damian drinks like a fish. #CallBack #differentposter
From earlier in the thread, Phil Knight's son apparently has a rapper alter ego, so a rap grudge match between him and Dame DOLLA is only logical.
Phil's son is going to demand a musical collaboration with Dame DOLLA, and then offer to let him star in his next movie. It will be a beautiful symbiotic relationship.
Here's Silver interview from yesterday: 13:29. "I don't know all the specifics of Paul Allen's trust. What I understand is that Jody Allen is the trustee of the estate, and that at some point the team will be sold. I don't have any sense of the precise timing. I read that statement today that said the team is not currently for sale, but at some point it will be. This is a hugely complex estate and even though it's already been several years, this can take some time.... I know Jody and her advisors are very focused on it, but as far as the timing, it's something her brother left in her hands."
read that because the Blazers own Moda Center that they are worth more than franchise who lease arenas.....and that tv money in the future is going to bring big profits to the organization....word is Vulcan is trying to find a way to keep the team past the 6 month deadline Paul had in place. Real estate has certainly gotten more expensive over the last year in Portland so I understand how they think 2 billion is too little...see if Phil makes a counter offer with a bigger number. Also this starts a bidding war but knowing there's a deadline investors can just wait until the day before the deadline and low ball Jody. (insert Keljin Blevins joke)
so Jody and Bert are holding the sale hostage and trying to stretch it out. Awesome. one final F You to the fans on their way out.
I don't get that connection at all...people sell businesses everyday and the only people they would be stringing out are investors....not fans. I'll be a fan still if they don't sell the team. I just want Phil Knight to own it because he'll pay whatever luxury tax is needed to compete...he isn't going to cut corners at all....at his age he won't have many shots at a championship and my money says he'll try to buy one. Nike can give some great incentives to bring players in
I can see waiting for the TV contract to be announced, and the money from any expansion teams. But if one of the new franchises is Seattle, (and it will be) how does that affect the Blazers? Isn't Seattle currently part of the Blazer TV market? Is that a factor or do teams all share the TV money equally?
I read that two new expansion franchises will cost 2 billion apiece so Phil could buy the Sonics or Vegas teams cheaper than the Blazers....I just want him to end up owning the Blazers...as to the numbers they are throwing around I have no idea of the details. People don't seem to also consider that Jody may want to keep the team. That's also a possibility...if she does I hope she understands that she needs to be willing to pay some luxury tax to have a dynasty here.
We are? How did you get from "they aren't selling" to "We're out"?? The whole point is that they are NOT selling.
