A new report claims that the NBA’s Portland Trail Blazers are expected to be up for sale at some point in the next 18 months.
When billionaire Paul Allen died in 2018, there was a lack of clarity surrounding who would next lead the two sports franchises he owned, the Trail Blazers and the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks. Eventually, it was revealed that his sister Jody Allen would take on a leadership role by way of being a key trustee in the Paul G. Allen Trust.
The philanthropic trust was formed in 1993 and ended up serving as the organized body that would oversee all of the Microsoft co-founders holdings upon his death from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The assumption since Allen’s passing was that Jody would stay on as a figurehead and lead the trust as it spearheaded Trail Blazers and Seahawks business.
However, in a new report from Seattle sports reporter and radio host John Canzano, he claims that Paul Allen’s directive after his death was to liquidate the trust and sell off its billions in assets. This includes the Portland Trail Blazers and Seattle Seahawks. Jody Allen reportedly wouldn’t have much leverage to take on the teams herself and the Trail Blazers could be up for sale in the near future.'“Those familiar with the details of the Paul G. Allen Trust tell me there isn’t a lot of wiggle room for trustee, Jody Allen,” Canzano wrote. “The trust was established in 1993 and includes billions in assets, including the NBA’s Trail Blazers and NFL’s Seattle Seahawks. Paul directed that the trust be liquidated upon his death and the assets used to fund his passion projects. None of this is up in the air. The instructions are clear: The sports franchises and everything in the trust must be sold. Insiders expect the Blazers to be positioned for auction in the next 6-18 months.”'
By Old King Rob Go To PostA billionaire couldn’t fund his own passion projects?that's what he is doing, no?
By Old King Rob Go To PostI meant without selling his teams. A billion is a lot of money. He was worth 20x that supposedly.He could have done a lot of things, but wanted it done like this... besides if he didn't sell who gets them? Jody?
By Old King Rob Go To PostHopefully he’s more like JJ and less like PerkHe already does a podcast and is definitely closer to Redick.

By Christberg Go To PostYeah, that one's some pie in the sky stuff. No way Toronto lets him go.They'll gladly let him go for Ayton. He's also a Klutch guy so don't think they won't push.

this is clearly nonsense because no one would hire anyone based on those people, especially giving his coaching record, but whatever let me enjoy myself

Always surprised by how many ex head coaches take assistant jobs, I like it. Wouldn’t see it much in football. I guess there’s only 30 HC jobs and a few decent colleges comparatively to the amount of league teams in Europe alone.

Yeah, it's actually semi-feasible if they move the 7th pick in a 3 way deal but still, unlikely. As much as I'd salivate over a Jerami Grant/OG frontcourt it's better to be realistic and expect an overpay for one of them or similar.

Plus you likely become the HC for 30 games after the old HC is fired midseason
KD was hurting today on Twitter bro need to log off it’s about to be a long offseason for him after the warriors win this.
By Branduil Go To PostI don't think Mark Jackson's weird cult shit would play well in a majority-Mormon state.
lol Mo Bamba is rumored to most definitely end up signing for the Knicks. Didn't our boy masud just trash him?
Haslem is the only guy left in the league that's older than me... ☹️
And where are these Bamba to the Knicks rumors? I don't see shit.

Oh that? He's a New Yorker I'm sure he would love to play for the Knicks, doesn't mean they want him.

Franchise values are legitimately crazy when the Wolves are going for $1.5b and the Blazers are fetching $2b. That next TV deal must be a huge windfall.
