I see Tom Dundon is leading a group purchasing the Portland Trail Blazers.

Is this a good thing for the franchise and its fanbase?

He's been awesome for the Hurricanes and the Caniacs. Our team is now a perennial playoff monster that just hasn't been able to win it all, but man, it was a dark journey to get here. I don't remember the 20teens and nor do I want to. Absolute dreck. Also, he could've been more like David Tepper. whew!

It seems that he has a thing for teams that are red, black, and white and have cyclone-shaped logos.

This is one of those things we'll probably never really know, but I'm curious if the drafting and promising Summer League performance of Yang Hansen played any role in the negotiations.
