    Merritt's worth $700 million, according to web sites that cover such things. Dunno what the Blazers are worth.

    Wasn't his dad the Secretary of the Treasury? I imagine he has the contacts to raise sufficient funds if he were so inclined.

    I think you're thinking of his dad Henry, not Merritt. The Clippers sold for $2B so I would guess it's in the neighborhood.

    Portland is worth maybe half as much as the Clippers.

    I could see that, that's what the Bucks sold for last year.

    I think we would be sold for about 1 to 1.5B imho. The clippers may be in LA but they were valued less than us in the Forbes slideshow I saw before the sale.

    You want to put the Blazers on "lay-away"?

    I'd prefer he take an IOU.

    Nah, part of the Clippers value is the local TV contract. Lakers signed a TV deal worth $3 billion. Clips would be worth at least $1bill.

    Even if he could buy it, he doesn't have the $$ to run it.

    Forbes has them listed at 940 million. So not sure where (or when) you read that.

    Hank Paulson is a piece of shit. But so far I think his son is pretty decent. Though I don't know much about Merritt Paulson. Hank though... fuck you Hank!

    You guys are doing exactly what Canzano set out to do - worry/debate Paul selling.

    Yeah, but that's the whole town. I think he'd just be buying the Blazers.

    I'm hoping that Trump will buy us. Canzano will like us and get off our backs if Trump owns us.
