I believe the story is the Heat were rotating through all their team colors as playoff shirt themes in the early 00’s (Red, white, black), and then the White Hot one just happened to coiencide with their most successful years and the title, and so it stuck as a tradition.

He also didn’t allow the Blazers two-way players to travel with the team to San Antonio and is refusing to spend more than $1.5m on the Blazers’ next coach (pretty much assistant salaries) I think we should keep Tiago but that’s besides the point.

And we wonder why players ask for trades, don’t feel appreciated by franchises, and demand their bag + incentives upfront….Caleb Love is a 10 PPG scorer who stepped up on occasion during injury bouts in the season - now can’t travel with the team for the playoffs.

If you’re local to Portland you’ll know he also tried to recently squeeze the city/county to pay Moda Center’s $600 million renovation price tag and threatened to move the team…until Silver accidentally squashed his trump card by announcing the Vegas/Seattle expansion charters lmao.

Dude’s a private equity grunt who got big from subprime auto loans. To expect that he’d treat the Blazers with love and respect as opposed to ruthlessly wringing every cent of profit out of the team is wishful thinking.

Fuck this tool. Fuck private equity. It’s just the latest in a trend of sports culture getting drained for profit.

People really need to know how “little” $1.5 million is for a head coach.

According to USA Today, that compiles all the known D-1 college basketball coaches salaries, 71 coaches make more than 1.5, 1 makes 1.5, and 3 head coaches make less than that.

3 out of 75 head coaches.

96% of D1 college head coaches with a known salary would be taking a pay cut, many over 50%, to take the head coaching job of an NBA team. It’s so unbelievable that it makes you question the reports (although they come from reliable sources).

Why would any coach take that offer? Only the coaches who truly do not see a potential head coaching job offer in the next few years would bite at that. Maybe a guy like… Chauncey Billups?

spizalert | Trail Blazers

good perspective, thanks for adding.

It’s basically waving the flag to the rest of the league that the Blazers aren’t taking the rebuild seriously, and can take a flyer on a coach using this as a step-up on their resume.

Which is a damn shame because Joe Cronin has been dealing his ass off and they finally have something there. And now we wanna go bargain-bin for our HC?!

Dundon has always been cheap about coaching salaries unless it’s an extension.

This has been a long time thing for the Carolina Huurricanes and really only balked to Brind’Amour being a franchise legend with a strong track record who made sure his assistants got paid well over him getting a ‘top coach’ salary.

I mean shit if his motivation to do that and increase the team’s value as quickly as possible, winning a championship would do that.

zombat

His problem is that investing in analytics doesn’t go as far in this era of the NBA than it did in that era of hockey, and his specific brand of cheapness is more likely to impact player relationships. Your most likely “good” outcome is something like the Pacers with more constant “letting Myles Turner walk after making the finals” negative PR (and without the “making the finals” part).

mizzou421

Does winning a championship really improve the value of the team though? I dont think these mega billionaires care about the players or the history of the team. They just see an asset that can increase in value

SeismicRipFart | Trail Blazers

19 | 4 hours ago

Is that a serious question? There is no method of increasing the value of a franchise inside of a single year that comes even remotely close to winning a championship.

I agree with you that some of (or a lot of, idk) billionaires owners don’t care about the players or team, they just see them as an asset.

And based on what I just explained, you would hope that even if an owner is in it for purely financial reasons, winning a championship would still be the main goal, as that is far and away the best way to increase the value of a franchise. Nothing else comes close.

goodmarket2024

How are you so certain? OKC won the championship last year and had a middle of the pack increase in valuation compared to other teams.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/justinteitelbaum/2025/10/23/the-most-valuable-nba-teams-2025/

Additionally and anecdotally, I worked on a project in college comparing NFL franchise valuations year over year to see what factors would cause valuations to rise and winning games, making the playoffs, or winning the super bowl had no statistically significant impact on a franchises valuation. The only “quick” factors we identified to increase a valuation were moving cities to a HCOL (STL -> LA, SD -> LA, OAK -> LV) and building private stadiums/facilities that are considered franchise assets.

If Dundon wants to increase the value for a flip, he should move the team to Nashville and/or build a private stadium.

EpicCyclops | Trail Blazers

Being successful definitely helps. It doesn’t help as much as everything else does, but it helps. With the NBA’s cap and tax rules, the amount of spending needed to be successful probably does not translate to an equal amount of increase in franchise value the same way remodeling a house usually costs more than the increase in value of the home.

Just to be clear, it’s not an Alamo theme, it’s for Fiesta, which is a week and a half in SA of all kinds of events and parades and parties and reasons to eat meat on a stick and drink beer. Not that we San Antonians need reasons to do those things anyways, heh.

Bill Simmons thought the fiesta T-Shirts that the Spurs used last night were cringe. His comments were that “San Antonio has won titles, including a title 7 years ago,” so they should “act like they have been there.”

It’s dumb, because who cares if San Antonio has chips already, the environment is rocking and positive. Both of which were almost unanimously agreed upon.
