    I think you want the bulk of owners to be a smaller group - either 2 or 3 - maybe just one.

    If they have a bunch of minority owners under 10% each thats fine but they wouldn't have any decision making input. You don't want too many voices or it paralyzes the organization from making decisions.

    Could be health.

    Could be he just wanted to scoop the Blazers up for a discount but sees now the valuation will be higher.

    Could be he was offended how his prior offer was basically ignored and he felt disrespected.

    will very likely be actual owners rather that a dipshit trust managed by ambivalent Vulcans

    I’m starting to get a feeling Bezos will own the Blazers and Hawks. But unlike Paul the Hawks will be his baby.

    And Moda Center will become Amazon Center or Amazon Arena.

    NBA doesn't allow one person to have any ownership in two teams.

    Vivek was a minority Warriors owner but had to sell all of it prior to buying the Kings.

    It's not necessary to have a lot of ownership to exercise control if the major owner trusts you and wants to delegate. See, for example: Bert Kolde.

    This whole thing reminds me of something like you find out as a kid you are moving. Family is all pumped…..but what’s on the other end?

    So now that Phil Knight doesn’t care for the Blazers anymore. I’m officially nervous. The team doesn't own the arena and we only extended to a 5yr lease on moda center is how long it would take to build a new arena somewhere else. No local owner options. I'm a little scared.

    Which is exactly why I’m asking why so many are happy about this.

    I never once said I didn’t want change. Not once. I’m asking why some are very happy about this. Without knowing the other option.
