Poll: Biggest fear of the new ownership group (8 Viewers)

[Hoopguru]

Dudley is just campaigning; I don’t give a shit what his opinion is, nor should anyone involved. He doesn’t have a job here.

I mentioned it because someone posted a interview with an old has been reporter where he spewed the same thing, that and was in the mercury article. Even though Im not a fan of him and never was as player either, especially since his signing cursed this team way back. However, I think he was right in some of his comments, which he is entitled too. like him or not.

Cuban as a friend and sounding board, he will advise Tom if there is a coaching / GM search. Mark has had a number of good coaching hires?

I’m doubtful he’ll seek out and listen to advice. Guys like this usually don’t

I gotta say the timing of this poll and the “no t shirts for you” is aces

He is already on record saying that Cuban has been advising him throughout this process. They've been friends for liek 25 years or something.

I wish if people want to take a negative point of view, it would at least be informed.

Fair. I also think neither man is particularly wise. People who make “buy an NBA franchise” money typically either got lucky with timing or were willing to do horrible crimes to get it… usually both. But because they’re now rich, most of them think they had some special smarts to get their success. Typically this is not the case.

My fear about new ownership? I’m afraid Dundon thinks he somehow earned his position through smarts and guile and will run the franchise like he is somehow as smart as he thinks he is. Which nobody is, but especially not billionaires.

Throughout the process of buying a team and listening while running a team are different. To me at least.

Almost always a sponsor foots the bill for the cost of the t-shirts in return for their logo being on it. Not something the owner/team pays for. Examples are Moda and Toyota on past t-shirts here in Portland.

Can't Tom get Panda to sponsor shirts?

And if he can't, would it really be that much for a new owner to cover this time, and then make sure we have a sponsor next year?

Seems cheap. Out of touch.

*Edit* Almost like trying to run off the fans...

It cracks me up people are actually upset about not getting a cheap t-shirt that in a year will be collecting dust in your drawer or a lawn mowing shirt.
Who wants to wear a shirt with a big company logo on it anyway? I love my Trail Blazers t-shirts, but I'm not wearing one that also has a Toyota, Moda, etc logo on the sleeve.
