1. And then she will end up selling it to someone who doesn’t care about the PNW. Nice.

2. Swear to god this lady is a real life movie villain…

3. She’s a control freak I think. She can’t let go of the power.

4. She’s playing the long game. Once the timeline ends, she’ll snap the team up.

5. He’s gonna have to wait until 2025 or wayyy overpay due to the TV rights

6. This was posted yesterday.

7. She wants higher bid, that’s it fuck!!

8. wahhhhh!!!!! why doesn’t the antagonist of my dreams sell the team to the 85 year old republican mega-donor I’M MAD MAD NOW

9. The nervous part of me thinks she already has a Seattle area buyer in mind who’s one of her friends who intends to buy them and then move them up north.

10. I don’t really get the JA hate. She’s at every game cheering, seems very engaged in the team and I see no reason to doubt that she’s honoring PA’s wishes. Knight, not really any higher of character and how long can he possibly own the team?

11. She sucks so, so much. Zero rooting interest in the Blazers with her at the helm. And as a lifelong Blazer fan, I don’t say that lightly. Evil lady.

12. Legitimately asking: isn’t it her right to not sell? And isn’t this asset continuing to gain in value over time? I don’t think I’d sell either I must be missing something big

13. She likes the Gojo deal but knows about the fake subscribers in India. She is not sure if Kendall has what it takes. Will be a compelling watch as things wind down

14. For me its the lack of engagement with the fans/media and refusing to even put out a statement. When the NO situation was going on things got ugly here, and she has refused to give us something to hang our hat on. I get the feeling she only cares about her money. She doesn’t care about Portland, the franchise, or the fans. She doesn’t really want to pay for a championship caliber team but she also doesn’t want to upset fans so she can still fill up the seats. This offseason or two will be what really gives me my definite opinion of her going forward. If she keeps doing just enough to fill the seats like she has done for the last handful of years then ill definitely not have anything nice to say about her. She is the owner and needs to make a decision on the direction of the franchise one way or the other.

15. I want a Steve balmer type. I think Phil would be a weird owner, maybe 10 years ago I could see it, but he’s just too old then when he passes that puts us in a weird position where who knows what could happen to the franchise.

    Wait for Lebron to retire and sell the team to him. He knows how to get a ring.

16. Praise be. Keep fighting the Anti-Knight fight
