The proposed sale of the Trail Blazers to Texas billionaire Tom Dundon sparked a new round of questions about the future of Portland’s NBA franchise, including... Who is Tom Dundon?
On an emergency episode of the Oregonian Sports Podcast, Bill Oram, Joe Freeman and Aaron Fentress explain what we know about the 53-year-old businessman, including what has happened to the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes in the seven years since he became that team’s majority owner.
Also discussed on this episode:
• Is Dundon the right leader for this franchise going forward?
• Does this agreement really ensure that the Blazers are no longer at risk of leaving?
• What is the true future of the Moda Center? What will it take to make the building a state-of-the-art facility?
• Should Dundon just renovate the Blazers existing home or does Portland need him to dream bigger?
• What impact will the ownership change have on the current team?
• ... and much more.
