No--the whole point is that the offer actually existed, and that its details being leaked was a big enough deal that the Blazers absolutely had to respond to it. Yes, they claimed they're not selling, but nobody actually believes that. Adam Silver said as much yesterday--they will sell, even if they haven't accepted this particular offer on this particular day. The fact that Uncle Phil is involved at all with a serious purchase offer is phenomenal news, regardless of the offer's lack of immediate acceptance.
If it was just Canzano blabbering, that would be a fair question. When you combine what we are hearing about the Blazers with the announcement from the NFL front office that the trust has no plans to sell the Seahawks, the "no sale pending" claim becomes more credible.
Combine what we're hearing about the Blazers? EVERYTHING we've been hearing is that they are going to be sold. Nobody said anything about a sale pending.
If Phil Knight ends up buying the team, will the paranoid fans assume the team is moving to Eugene now? On a serious note, I wonder if he'd be building a new arena?
Oh, nothing is wrong with it. Just wondering if, if he is the new owner, if he'd make a new one and go all out.
She has taken a team consider to have great ownership and flipped that to be considered terrible ownership in just a few years. I didn't say definitively she is the worst NBA owner, but I said she just might be. I don't see how that is debatable. Do you feel she is a good owner?
outside of the somewhat smaller screen compared to the newer arenas, moda is in terrific shape. there are arenas i've seen that are far younger in worse condition.
I don't pay any attention to what the suits do with ownership ..I think she did great erasing the Neil Olshey era off the books and hiring Joe and Chauncey...agreeing to trade CJ build a new core...she attends home games even when we're tanking so I think this thing people have against her is pretty unfounded other than she groped her security guard back in the day...she hasn't been at the helm through the last 10 years and Paul hired all the folks she fired...she's not a puppet owner from what I can tell but really, it's not important to me....she doesn't bother me at all. A team that makes the playoffs for the better part of a decade does not spell worst ownership in the league....the Lakers have worse ownership...the Knicks have worse ownership..the Kings have worse ownership...etc...the Magic...she wasn't around when Nate got fired and they blew up the team or when Lamarcus left for nothing.....to single her out in my view is to ignore the history of the franchise over the last 10 years.
why...because I think Phil will overpay to win now? What does that have to do with them not selling out the fans? The politics of deals on the table? I want Phil to buy the team but don't think current ownership is ignoring the fans at all....I think that's fabricated dislike for Jody more than anything and sure...people are free to dislike her.....what's your take on the topic? I added the reason I like Phil buying the team but that didn't change my original statement about Jody and Bert not caring about fans...you think they don't? Maybe address the topic with your own 2 cents if you find a problem with mine?
