It feels like just Tuesday you were suggesting MacKenzie Scott was in the running, despite the fact her life's work is pretty clearly pointed in a different direction. Now it's Powell-Jobs? She's ALSO got better things to do.
Ellison is Howard Schultz 2.0. I don't think the league wants to go through that again.
Six months ago, I would have said it'll be a crypto bro. That doesn't seem viable now.
I think you're right about whoever loses on the Broncos, that's the list of suitors for the Blazers and Seahawks. Minus Ellison.
two potential bidders — Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison and Laurene Powell-Jobs, Apple co-founder Steve’s widow. What happened to McKenzie? (Bazo's X). She was 1 of 2 earlier?
It has seemed that during the past GM regime the Blazer leadership wanted to be above scrutiny, yet consistently was irresponsible in regard to personnel and simple Justice. The sooner present ownership is gone the better our community and team will be. May not be bald faced, but it is the truth!
Stripping the state's most accomplished, award-winning and well-read columnist of said credential tells us all we need to know. Trail Blazers Inc is a bush league operation, reminiscent of 45's White House.
USC picking up a lot of good athletes and doing a major overhaul on their roster. The coaches now have a major job during Fall practices in finding the right spot for all these new faces. They're going to be much better in November-December than September-October. If they can avoid early upsets/losses, they'll be a national factor. They'll definitely be better in 2023.
Not to win any popularity polls, but for the past twenty years I always thought the biggest favor the Vulcans could do would be to move the Blazers to Seattle, and open up an opportunity for a more market friendly ownership and franchise here in Rip City.
re: Blazers and “The franchise has frequently been short-sighted, insecure and petty.”
Truer words were never spoken.
Trailblazers are on the verge of being an asterisk to mediocrity and irrelevance. Someone needs to write the check and stock the organization with men and women that will put the Game first - nothing but good will come from an administrative team with an ego-free outlook
You always research deep then pass on interesting observations. Bring Jobs on…
John, yesterday's column was so from the heart. Thanks.

Wow I’ve been around these times when new ownership is coming but these is very strange. Get rid of people that know to keep a busy going is ???
I can’t wait for the sale. It feels like forever away.

If Jobs becomes the new owner then I hope we see the WNBA return to Portland.

After the championship year they felt lost until the Drexler years. I hope we are head back to the 90’s feeling. It was hope, hope was the feeling.
