Interesting that the current problems for the Blazers can be traced to reliance on a single personality who died without properly planning the transition. Phil Knight is 86 years old and once again you would be dealing with one person and later likely his estate. Perhaps the team would be better off with a consortium of owners with roots in the area rather than a single billionaire. Oregon has also put all of its eggs in one basket as well. If it wasn't for Phil Knight and his billions Oregon's fortunes would be the same as OSUs. Small market way out west.
