The Portland Trail Blazers are changing ownership. The owner of the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes, Tom Dundon, has agreed to buy the Trail Blazers for over $4 billion.

 

The previous owner was Paul Allen, who co-founded Microsoft Corporation with Bill Gates. Allen passed away in 2018, and his sister, Jody Allen, ran his estate and the team. Allen’s estate has now agreed to sell to Dundon.

Dundon purchased a stake in the Hurricanes in 2017 and became the team’s majority owner in 2018. He is also the owner of the retail site Pickleball Central.

With Damian Lillard back in Portland and now an ownership change, maybe we’ll see the Trail Blazers turn their luck around. Portland hasn’t made the postseason since the 2020-2021 season.
