    SNKRS is a Nike app where people by high-demand shoes. Hart is saying as a Blazer player/Phil Knight employee, he should be able to get the inside track on shoe releases, etc.

    i mean, it was a direct quote from Phil, but yes. By Ben Golliver.

    surely, jody allen will sell it to the local (very rich guy) guy who want to keep the team in portland

    or maybe she doesnt give a fuck and sells the franchise to the highest bidder

    With Knight's age, there would almost absolutely be some type of succession plan in place upon purchase. Same would likely be the case if Ellison bought the team....with his son as future owner.

    this is her fiduciary obligation. the previous news cited a potential auction to find the highest bidder. but i'm sure adam silver would rather the team be sold to a group headlined by Knight. Will be interesting to see if any other groups make a written bid like this one.

    No problem with Phil buying the franchise ...now let Mathew Knight Arena become the next home of the Eugene Stampede!!!!! I'll buy season tickets if he does!

    Phil has a net worth over $43 B so this isn't that big of a deal to him I think.

    If she sells immediately, then technically this is the highest bidder!!

    Please. Please.

    I could imagine them avoiding it because of conflicts of interest.

    Woj says 2 billion "plus"

    The highest sales for NBA franchises without considering inflation have been:

    1. Brooklyn - $ 3.3 billion - Joe Tsai, 2019
    2. Houston - $2.2 billion- Tillman Fretitta, 2017
    3. Clippers - $2.0 billion- Balmer, 2014
    4. Utah - $1.6 billion- Ryan Smith, 2020
    5. Minny - $1.5 billion - ARod et al., 2021


    This sale could potentially be the second highest true valuation the league has ever transacted if it goes through.

    i hope so, just worried about the $3 billion number being floated in the Canzano pieces. I hope he's wrong as always.
