Phil knight offers to buy blazers

I don’t know if I trust this info but canzano came out with an article today that Kirk Brown, another billionaire, could be a part of this group. Brown also want to be apart of WNBA, and with rumor that Portland could be getting a team, that would make sense
and another nugget: https://www.johncanzano.com/p/canzano-paddles-down-if-phil-knight?s=r

Knight is the best possible owner. Period. Full stop. He has deep ties to the state of Oregon, he’s a perennial winner, and he lives by a “make no small plans” mantra. I’m told by a source that the 84-year old Knight met multiple times with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver in recent weeks and consulted with former Blazers’ president Larry Miller about the franchise. Also there may have been a face-to-face conversation with trustee Jody Allen.

I think the final number could end up closer to $3 billion. Still, get it done — ASAP. Dodgers co-owner Alan Smolinisky is said to be part of the Knight ownership group. Also, per a league source, Knight’s group may include billionaire Kirk Brown, who is said to covet a WNBA expansion team that would land in Portland as well.

 


not a coincidence that he posted this today before all the news came out i think...

if that 2billion plus buy in includes an entry to getting a WNBA expansion team, i would surely welcome it.

buy a GLeauge franchise while you're at it-- we've desperately needed one.
 
The Dodgers have been in the World Series 3 of the last 5 seasons. and won it in 2020.
BFD. They still suck and always will. And 2020 will always be an asterisk series……Go Giants.

But I have no problem with them spending money on the Blazers….
 
Bye Bye Cheap Jody… What is Luxury Tax? - Phil Knight
 
Jordan brand is not on the same level as Nike and Adidas.

it’s the same “conflict of interest” issue no matter how much the companies involved are worth.
Phil knight has already met with Adam silver twice.
Let the pessimism go
 
Bye Bye Cheap Jody… What is Luxury Tax? - Phil Knight

I don't think that is fair to Jody. We have been in the Luxury Tax for a while. Granted she needs to sell because the passion is not there. But I don't think Jody was that cheap. She pretty much continued what Paul was doing.
 
Wait a sec! What does this mean for S2! @SlyPokerDog will have to go into negotiations with the new ownership.
Our days here could be numbered!!!!
I need to create a new OFFICIAL forum of the team!
I got it covered, as long as I change my moniker to SlyNikeDog we should be fine.

Would this sale affect free agent prospects? Does it affect the draft?
 
Wait a tic….. Magic Johnson is part owner of the Dodgers. Surely his power would transfer here to RipCity FAMS. One could dream…..
 
Please Please Please I’m praying to make this happen.
 
As the, thus far, second most negative poster on S2, please let me remind everyone how vastly different a purchase from a person or group and a purchase from a trust is.

This can get a big FUCK OFF from both Knight and or Smolinki. Also remember who the cock stains are on the other end of negotiations
