Bill Simmons One of the things I was fascinated by was 'Why did they let this guy buy the team Why let El Cheapo Tom Dundon get in there' Apparently they only had two offers for the Portland Trail Blazers sale I just don't think they had a lot of people that wanted to buy in

ESPN Windhorst When the Allen estate sold the team they did a very short lease Leases are usually 15-20 years they did a 5 year lease And theres almost no protection in the lease for the Blazers to leave Tom Dundon isnt interested in giving any money for this renovation It's a messy one
