    long term deals mean SHIT -- the new owners could take those contracts and eat them and move them on there way -- FACTS

    When the team is sold all players must be traded in 3 years or given max extensions.

    Maybe Adam Silver said ,"if you sell the team you'll get the #1 picks in 28, 29 and 30, and we'll help facilitate a nice offer..."

    Ahh yes of course - its part of the massive NBA conspiracy that sends superstars to small markets. Appreciate you reminding me.

    Tod Leiweke in April saying that the Kraken group, led by David Bonderman will be the Sonics ownership group.

    So all the proceeds from the sale go to Charity? Seems like greed is not exactly an issue after all.

    Honest question - is this better news than the Blazers winning a top4 pick?

    I'm seriously considering that it might be.

    As the owner of an NBA team, YOU decide who is traded for. Your GM works for you.

    Yes it is. I can go back to attending games and being my full fan self again. I haven't been to a game since this ownership group lied to Dame and us.

    Dame retires, puts together ownership group, buys Blazers, fires Cronin.

    Sorry Sharpe -- I did something I have been good at not doing but did it this time

    I did not fully read it and saw something not there -- my bad -- I own it

    It will be nice to finally see Bert K out of the Blazers cause he is the biggest cancer for this team and not even the jail blazers back when was as bad for the team as he is right now

    It'd make far more sense for him to do all that, rehire Olshey and then finally, in public, admit it was Olshey who fucked things up and not Cronin, and re-fire Olshey in a very public manner.

    Give the team to us; RC2 as a collective whole. First fan led organization. Power to the people.

    Together we will lead Portland to another championship with our sheer passion and determination to see a successful franchise.

    Agreed. The sale was gonna happen eventually but the fact it was announced today and not 2 days ago probably has everything to do with waiting for the lottery selection to come out.
