    Good lord. You geeks will find any little nugget and twist it into the team moving to wherever. It's hilarious!

    He can wear his black and red Blazers hat with his black and red Hurricanes hoody. All makes sense.

    The SBJ article says he has been interested in MLB expansion. Maybe he'll now also try to get MLB to Portland.

    well, it's potential good news if he intends to keep the team in Portland

    not sure how the control would be allocated. Sounds like Dundon would be primary

    I like it, while he’s an investor he seems to be a sports fan first.

    Sounds like he’s gonna have some adjusting to do when it comes to NBA agents. Hopefully owning 2 winter sports teams means his attention will be divided just the right amount.

    DNA hunts Odom - The guy obviously has designs on cloning Lamar to improve the Blazers' rebuild.
