    ‘Toxic’ Trail Blazers owner Jody Allen should sell team, say insiders - if by "insiders" you mean billionaires who want to buy the team. haha

    I want her to sell the team but who couldn't be accused of toxic behavior? This is Phil Knight and comp using their resources to try to put some pressure on her.

    1. Larry Miller quotes are straight from Phil Knight.
    2. What does Dame want to talk to Jody about? What the hell is Bert Kolde's role even?
    3. NY Post? Is this coming from the league offices in NY? Someone want to keep on defending the local media for not getting any stories?
    4. We knew of the other stuff about Jody before (harassment/smuggling/etc).
    5. Is it possible Silver pushes her out like he did Sterling?

    A Larry Miller opinion piece, essentially? Don't want to discredit anything in the story with that. Just weird he's so prominently quoted, and nobody else.

    NY post doesn't exactly have the highest journalistic standards

    The New York Post should double down on what it is good at, discussing Rats carrying Pizza in the subway.

    No disrespect, but when we lived in NYC we, and most everyone we knew, regarded them as a national enquirer that tries to look more respectable...

    Yeah, it's like someone there had a contact to Larry Miller, and then they just rehashed old shit of why she sucks.

    Man, this is so thin. Like someone had a conversation with Miller and then decided to expand it into a hit piece on Jody with little to go with. So we're rehashing stuff from nearly a decade ago, blaming some of Neil's behavior on Jody, and citing an allegedly "highly-placed" anonymous source.

    I'm sorry, this feels like a complete nothing-burger.

    I don't know, this article seems kinda bullshitty to me. If the Dame stuff was true, I feel like we'd have heard about it earlier AND I think Dame would've let it be known...but what do I know.

    The fact that there's nothing in this "article" in relation to the Seahawks speaks volumes about its credibility.

    “Damian wanted to sit down and have a conversation with Jody about the team and she didn’t return his call. Then he tried to email her. Eventually she just never responded and put him in touch with Bert,” the source alleged. “When you own a team, there are critical key decisions to make and you should be the one involved in making the decisions.”

    This is the only interesting tidbit in the article. Everything else is just fluff.

    Yeah. Curious if someone credible can corroborate this story.

    I thought Dame has been on record saying that he speaks with ownership regularly? Or something to that effect :dunno:

    This is the Knicks trying to push the Dame wants out narrative ...last year it was the Lakers...nice try...I'm sure they want to spin Dame and KD as the future of the Knicks. Dame is in daily contact with Chauncey and Joe so I don't think anything is being kept from Dame...total hatchet job....landmine journalism.

    If this part is true, that's worrisome. But "giraffe bones" suggest they have nothing on her. I mean, giraffe bones? Even I know about it. I don't think journalism ever been so low.

    Guess who owns the NY Post? Once you know that, you know how credible it is. Having said that, if this forces Jody to sell to Phil Knight, I'm all for it!

    Nike playing hardball. This means they have a team working to buy the Blazers by any means necessary.

    My guess is Paul Allen and Knight never got along. He probably has a directive to not sell the team to him.
