The city owns the building...

Asking the tenant to shell out money for renovations the Landlord is responsible for is backwards thinking.

Yet... because Dundon has $ (& is branded as cheap), he's the bad guy.

[Front Office Sports @FOS]

Trail Blazers owner Tom Dundon wants taxpayers to pay the entire $600 million bill for the team's arena renovations.

“It feels like we’re making a pretty big investment by staying here and paying these tax rates," the billionaire said this week in Portland.

If Finch can curb the LaMelo's antics, then this works... Tall task though.

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

BREAKING: The Charlotte Hornets are trading star guard LaMelo Ball and Josh Green to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Naz Reid, a 2033 unprotected first-round pick, three first-round pick swaps (2028, 2029, 2030) and three second-round picks (2029, 2032, 2033), sources tell ESPN.

[Jason Quick @jwquick]

BREAKING: Micah Nori has agreed to become the head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers, sources tell @TheAthletic. Nori was lead assistant of the Minnesota Timberwolves for the past five years. Nori, 52, signed a one-year deal with team options for each of the next two seasons.

BLOCKBUSTER: The Milwaukee Bucks are trading franchise icon Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bobby Portis to the Miami Heat for Tyler Herro, Kel'el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., Kasparas Jakucionis, 3 first-round picks (including No. 13), 1 pick swap and 1 second-rounder, sources tell ESPN.

Give me USA vs Japan matchup.

IM GOOD. LOL

So... is Texas Tech still going to support him and help him?

Or was all that grandstanding only because he was gonna play for them?

[Pete Thamel @PeteThamel]

Sources: Texas Tech transfer quarterback Brendan Sorsby plans to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft. Amid the legal wrangling over his NCAA eligibility after admitting he bet on sports, he intends to head to the NFL.

[Kyle Nishida @Kyle_Nishida]

Crazy to be a Portland sports fan watching SA and NY rally behind their local NBA team.

Meanwhile, Portland Govt needs a survey and town halls to discuss the "importance" of using funds to renovate the Moda Center, which correlates to keeping the NBA in Portland. #RipCity.

Once a King, always a King.
Fox couldn't stop himself from doing the wrong thing.

[Kyle Nishida @Kyle_Nishida]

You can package Fox up in a box and trade him off to the next team. Lol

Sorry, he sold Game 4 for the Spurs. #NBAFinals

[Kyle Nishida @Kyle_Nishida]

This is middle school level logic.

We can't abandon him so we have to play him to help him.

Actually, you don't have to play him and you don't have to abandon him. You can actually get him help WITHOUT playing him

[Cody Campbell @CodyC64]

Great post, and this is part is absolutely spot on!

“There is a difference between defending the person and defending the mistake.

Texas Tech is in an impossible spot. Deep down, they may have hoped the final ruling would remove the decision from their hands. Exhaust every option, support the player, let the process play out, and if he is ruled ineligible, accept it. That is the cleanest outcome for a program trying to balance loyalty, discipline, public pressure, and competitive integrity.”

Gambling on your sport on a team you play on has always been illegal & results in bans/significant suspensions...

Yet, college football has turned this into a gray area topic for the spineless.

[ESPN @espn]

Breaking: A judge in district court in Lubbock County, Texas, has granted the injunction requested by Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby. He’s set to be eligible for the 2026 season.

Sorsby cannot play in Texas Tech's first two games, which was the penalty his legal team suggested to the NCAA.

[Kyle Nishida @Kyle_Nishida]

The Spurs don't seem to have a plan to get Wemby in advantageous situations. Knicks making everything difficult for him.

[Kyle Nishida @Kyle_Nishida]

@steven_von #TrustTheProcess

[Kyle Nishida @Kyle_Nishida]

If you wanted proof Wemby's living rent-free in Chet's mind... I give you Game 7.

Been a while since I've seen an "allstar" willingly not shoot in a all-or-nothing game.

[Kyle Nishida @Kyle_Nishida]

Considering what the current & previous GMs' steadfast stances were on building through the draft, this is a fascinating read. #RipCity

[Zach Kram @zachkram]

Most top-5 picks never win a playoff series for the team that drafted them. Only 5% actually contribute to titles.

With lottery reform approaching, I took a deep dive into the actual outcomes for teams that have tanked their way to top draft positions.

It wasn't a good hiring in the first place.

[Yahoo Sports @YahooSports]

The Portland Timbers have mutually parted ways with head coach Phil Neville, the team announced.

Neville led the Timbers to a 27-31-24 record since joining the club in November 2023.

[Kyle Nishida @Kyle_Nishida]

@Riang38903796 Honestly Micah Nori

[Kyle Nishida @Kyle_Nishida]

Compared to Billups' hiring processing 2021, this is a far more believable and legitimate HC search. #RipCity

[Marc Stein @TheSteinLine]

Minnesota's Micah Nori is also a finalist for the Portland coaching vacancy, @TheSteinLine has learned.

Nori, Blazers interim coach Tiago Splitter and LA Clippers assistant coach Jeff Van Gundy are the known finalists.

[Kyle Nishida @Kyle_Nishida]

@dwightjaynes And that's fine. I think that's closed-minded way of thinking though. The best businesses are open to new ideas. To not hear as many different ideas or philosophies as possible when you have the opportunity is ignorant, imo.

[Kyle Nishida @Kyle_Nishida]

@dwightjaynes I haven't felt it as helter-skelter, but I wont argue if ppl feel it has been. Personally, I prefer the cast the wider net approach. I fail to see how talking to more ppl about a job opening is a bad thing.
