    right..?

    My wife and I have been camping for 12 days...no internet. I opened this thread to see if there is any new information about the new owner and the sale timeline

    and somehow, Ghandi has entered the picture. I wonder if Ghandi could hit a three?

    Ian Furness was saying on the radio the other day Dundon is going to be a cheap horrible owner for the blazers

    Seattle sports podcaster and NHL broadcast host (Kraken). I've heard of him over the years. I'd assume he knows about NHL, and by extension, a litle about the owners of NHL teams. I don't know if he has any anti-Dundon agenda, and I don't know if Aldo is quoting him or not. Non-Portland perspectives may add something to the discussion...or not

    He is just guessing based on Dundon's lack of wealth compared to the other NBA owners.

    But if the wealth wasn't there he wouldn't be approved to purchase the team...

    I didn't say he did not have wealth. I said he doesn't have as much as most of the other owners.
    Jody comes in as the 4th-wealthiest owner. Dundon will come in near the bottom. That doesn't mean he will be cheap; I am just saying
    that is probably why Ian made the comment. He is guessing
