The 19-year-old out of London, Canada barely got the car in gear before having to shut it down and leave the court with a shoulder injury. He scored two points and had a turnover.
His debut was ruined by a New York Post story about Jody Allen and her alleged "toxic" workplace She had smuggled giraffe and penguin skeletons out of Africa and Antarctica. The Post reported that Allen had her security detail model in a fashion show. Attorneys for Allen maintain that the accusations are not true.
It is time for a change of ownership according to a source in the Post. You can't win if you don't have stable good ownership. Since Paul's passing, Portland has not had that.
It was crazy how quickly the workplace was exposed as chaotic following Allen's rebuke of a $2 billion offer for the team by an ownership group. The billionaires fighting in the media is boring.
If Jody and Phil were to play a game on the floor, the internet would not recover. I don't see how Knight getting closer to the owner's box is a result of his attack lackey on Allen.
The current dynamic duo running the team, Allen and her right-hand idiot, is going to drag out the sale of the team for as long as possible.
John Canzano, a Portland-based sports writer, reported that Jody Allen, Paul Allen's sister, wouldn't have a lot of wiggle room if she wanted to.
Jody said that neither of the teams is for sale. Estate of this size and complexity can take 10 to 20 years to wind down. There is no set date for the teams to be sold.
That is positive. She is coming off as defiant as John Dutton, who refused to budge an inch on the thousands of acres of the ranch. Jody is the head of the Paul Allen trust, which has billions of dollars in other assets that can be sold off before she has nothing left to wind down.
Neil Olshey was let go from the front office because he was an asshole and did a poor job. Jody should follow Olshey's grease trail out of the parking lot if she is as bad as the Post story made her look. She will need less than 10 to 20 years to ruin the Rose City sports team. The photos of Knight weren't better. That's a lot of stuff.
Olshey's successor Joe Cronin should help Jody sell the trust's assets. In record time, he unloaded an entire NBA roster. I got 70% of the asking price.
This feels like the beginning of a long process that ends with a billionaire buying a team that is on year 12 of being picked in the lottery.
I would like to imagine Jody sitting down on a yacht on Thursday night, after a long day of stress-buying swimsuits and screaming at men to find dirt on Knight, in the hopes that the summer league game will provide some relief. After the No. 7 pick left with an injury, the assistants had to start whipping drinks and remotes.
I like to think of it as a funny visual but also because my daydream only lasted six minutes. Sell the team and go back to doing what billionaires do.
