Dundon and ownership group release 1st public statememt (2 Viewers)

Quick: Historically, other owners have committed years and put in money …

Dunden: In Portland?

Me: Yes, in Portland, dumbass. Ever hear of Paul Allen?

This guy comes off more arrogant than Donald Trump. I didn't think that was possible.

You feel me?! Like wtf u mean in Portland dumbass

It was one interview and it was with Jason Quick... maybe Dundon is a guy who mirrors smarmy energy.

I don't think a hyper driven, results oriented owner who comes off as arrogant is a terrible thing or something unique in the world of NBA ownership. He comes off almost like he's doing a Mark Cuban impersonation... early Mavs ownership Mark Cuban.

Dundon doesn't seem like the kind of guy I want to hang out with but he does seem like the kind of guy, who might push our team to more success than we've seen in a long time.

I don't follow the NHL closely enough to know but the biggest worry I have with this small amount of information, is if he'll be giving more interviews than anyone else in the organization. Hopefully closer to Cuban than Jerry Jones.

Like I said that's a Jason Quick interview.

I don't know what Dundon's tone of voice was and Quick has a history of annoying the people he interviews.

The fact is that Jody and Bert put the onus on our city when they gave the city the Rose Garden/Moda and a 20 year commitment is a long ass commitment. The follow ups to that were pretty combative from Quick but he got what he wanted. That "In Portland?" quote will definitely get a lot of buzz. I don't think it was disrespectful to our city.

Paul Allen was low key actually more of a Chesapeake owner if you look at his last 15 years owning the team before he died. Blazers were bottom 5 of teams in the NBA in luxury tax paid along with all the other small markets that never won a title (outside SAS)

People give Allen credit for the 2000 SPAM era but that was a long freaking time ago - more than a quarter of a century.

Love his attitude. Won't be satisfied with mediocrity.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Hate his attitude. Complete shit show incoming.
