Hankins 10 months ago:
“On the business side, it’s been incredible. Great 2nd half of the season in terms of ticket sales, we hit all of our revenue goals, got to 91% season ticket renewal, which is great for us. And we’re 5th in the league right now in new season ticket sales.”
The obvious answer here is Jonathon Brooks, but I expect a lot of people to say that, so I'll reach deeper: Mark Andrews. He posted career lows across the board last year, 422 yards, 5 TDs, playing through an injured Lamar Jackson. Likely and Kolar are both gone now, and Declan Doyle's a rising offensive mind. Not ready to give up on a former top-3 dynasty TE at 30.
Could Portland actually be on the verge of losing the Blazers?
I spoke to multiple NBA ownership-level sources this week. Every one had the same take: Dundon is bluffing and simply trying to squeeze as much as he can out of the city of Portland. Or, as one said, "There's nowhere for him to go."
For one, you can take Seattle and Vegas off the board. NBA owners want the expansion fees, expected to land in the $6-7 billion range. As one source put it to me, "Even if I liked Tom a lot, I like $200 million a lot more."
As for other markets: even if you believe a place like Kansas City or Nashville is ready for an NBA team, the math doesn't check out for someone who approaches ownership the way Dundon does. He'd have to pay a relocation fee, then spend to renovate or build an arena in the new city, all in a market without the built-in fan base he already has in Portland. It'd be bad business.
So why is Dundon being so aggressive and antagonistic toward Portland now? Especially when, as one source put it, "None of this was a secret. He bought Portland and knew it needed a new arena. It's not like he found an accounting error in the books."
"My guess is because he knows that the second the NBA moves on Seattle and Vegas, he loses all his leverage," a different ownership source said. "He knows he's got a very tight window now to play this game and I guess he's going for it."
That said, one line, from a third source who's dealt with plenty of owners and team sales, stuck with me.
"If the plan was to come in and bully a bunch of politicians in Portland, well he clearly didn't do any research."
So the good news for Blazers fans: Most people around the NBA think the team's remaining in Portland. The bad news is that it looks like Tom Dundon is going to be part of your lives for a long time.
Was literally editing an interview with LaMarcus @aldridge_12 when I got laid off so here's what he had to say about how he looks back on his time in Portland after returning for the first time in years
You had me until Tucker Kraft. Dude was TE2 before the injury last year, and all they did in the offseason was move on from Doubs and Wicks. I get that he’s coming back from an ACL tear, but it was a clean tear 10 months before the season starts. Is it just the injury, or something else you don’t like?
