Tom Dundon says he is focused on winning with the Portland Trail Blazers, while defending layoffs of 70-plus staff as a move toward more accountability. He says the basketball operation is separate from business decisions, and players will get whatever it takes to put them in the best position to win. Dundon also says Portland’s political climate has made an arena deal harder, and he believes the Trail Blazers need stronger sponsorships and a better business climate.
