Blazers are for Sale

Anybody check in on big bro @THE HCP ? I know he’s a huge Vulcan and Jody fan.

 

I remember rumors that Paul and Phil didn’t get along and that Paul didn’t want Phil to get the team?

 

I saw something at least year back that she along with Steve Jobs daughter?

 

if it gets us a title, why not

i would do some very unethical things for a ring.

besides, paul did this from 99-03. didn't work, but he certainly tried.

I vote for Larry Ellison, 10ish years younger than Knight and the 4th wealthiest person in the world.

 

my preference/requirement:

1. one owner. i don't want a cooperative with a bunch of different voices.
2. understand the community and culture of portland.
3. care.
4. don't meddle in hoops stuff if you don't know hoops.
5. don't have skeletons or be a creep.

 

Jeff Bezos - BOOOO!
MacKenzie Scott (i.e., Jeff Bezos's money) - YAAYYY!

 

Is there time for someone like Knight to make a winning bid between now and the draft. Obviously that wouldn't get approved by the NBA board of governors in time for the draft but maybe just maybe he would install a guy not to replace Joe but to manage Joe and make the deal contingent on that person's authority being implemented before the draft???

Wild times to be a Blazers fan!

 

Gotsa feeling it will be one of the two.

 

And a MASSIVE douchebag

 

you want an owner to meddle in bball ops weeks after buying the team having no nba experience whatsoever?

while oversight for joe is necessary, poking their head in now is not. wait a year before influencing stuff.

 

I can't honestly see MacKenzie Scott wasting money on a sports team - she seems determined to do actual good with the money.

 

Even wilder when you simply praying you can continue paying bills.

 

I continue to read on here and twitter about how happy people are about this and I haven’t got one reply on WHY? Change ain’t always good FAMS!

 

My vote is for a Tim Boyle/Travis Boersma team-up.

 

Tell that to the Clippers, who swapped Donald Sterling for Steve Ballmer

 

No way. No boomers that old. I'd rather not go through this trust stuff again in the next 10 years.

 

And?

 

So that’s what you’re attaching your hopes to? If so right on. I think I can dig and find some pretty bad situations and that’s all I was asking. Why the instant happiness when people have NO clue of which way this will go.
I’m a pessimist in all aspects of life. Gotta show me it’s gonna be better before I believe it.
