This guy is a clown

i truly hate this dude because he cant even do bs pr speak he just sounds like a asshole

Is he saying he should be praised for not firing everybody?

Here we go again lol

I’m more impressed by the people he didn’t fire

LOL, glass half-full mentality

Does mass layoffs and is confused why people are talking about said layoffs. Is the man regarded?

Honestly, I hate the new era of NBA owners.

They don’t have any passion for the game or the franchises itself. It’s just another line item on the financial statements, an attempt to buy goodwill and brag amongst their billionaire friends.

“I punched you in the face but at least I didn’t kick you in the balls”

i hate this man

Yeah I killed 37 children but there’s like a billion kids on this planet that I haven’t killed. Why isn’t anyone talking about them?!?!? 

God I hate billionaires

Oh brother this guy stinks

Dude lacks the ability to read the room.

You don’t say anything about the times I get mad and DON’T hit you! Is that what you want? You want me to hit you?!?

Why do you make me treat you like this baby? Why??

…and that’s why you should never explain your jokes.

Or your corporate laboral decissions.

They’re not going to relocate the team. There’s

a) nowhere to relocate it to

b) no way relocating isn’t WAY more expensive than basically anything else he’s doing.

He just bought the team. He’s not going to move it. Especially when you see how cheap he’s being now that he’s got it. There’s no WAY he’s spending the sheer amount of money he’d need to spend to pick it up and move it somewhere else. He’s too cheap to consider this, but he’s also too proud of being cheap to explicitly say “fuck no I’m not moving it, you know how much that COSTS!?!”

Plus if he never explicitly says it he can con rube politicians into throwing him tens to hundreds of millions to do a thing he was already going to do.

Everyone worried about relocation is just shitting their pants for the smooth feel it gives to the back of their shorts.

Dude just needs to stop taking. But he’s a narcissist billionaire so he can’t help himself.

Man this is exactly the type of quote that makes fanbases paranoid as hell. Anytime an owner starts talking like a private equity guy about “who you absolutely have to have” it stops sounding like sports and starts sounding like a cost cutting project.

Jody, come back!

Man said the lights are still on, tf you crying about.

This is the most “I’m a self centered asshole” response he could’ve possibly given wow. The rich never fail to amaze in how pathetic they can be

“I got rid of some of my children and kept some but all that anyone talks about is the ones I got rid of”

This dude is Bizarro Michael Scott

Blazers are so f*cked.

always read his name like it’s a temu Tim Duncan

I’ve been hoping for a sale of the Chicago Bulls by the Reinsdorfs for decades now, but this Dundon guy has me getting nervous about what new ownership would even look like. Hopefully the NBA learns its lesson and does better vetting on potential new owners in the future as this situation in Portland is shaping up to be a disaster.

You guys should be grateful for being employed ! What a joke

Stay classy

Just stop talking dawg

Ok, let’s talk about the people you kept. You’re in the process of ruining their lives too. Because not only do they have to do the jobs of the people you fired on top of their normal work, they’re also probably stressing about losing their jobs in the not too distant future

Moving like an estranged baby daddy

Holy shit this is why they pay PR people and sanitize the shit out of responses eh

Bet I know who he votes for …

Guy’s been an NBA owner for about 10 minutes and I’m already tired of hearing about him. Comes off as cheap and clueless (release the hordes of Carolina Hurricanes fans coming to the defense of their beloved owner in 3 … 2 … 1).

Imagine being on trial and using that argument:

“Did I kill 9 people? Sure. But I didn’t kill 8.2bn people. I deserve praise for not killing them!”

This guy fucking sucks so bad.

man i feel bad for blazer fans. there’s nothing worse than a shitty, cheap owner.

This guy is so unlikeable he almost makes it a competitive sport.

This guy needs to spend some money on a PR firm.

Holy moly Blazers fans might be worse off than Mavs fans.

Like…yes they agreed to the worst trade in history. But it’s petty obvious they know they made a mistake and have tried correcting it.

This dude just seems like his core philosophy is to be the worst you can possibly be in order to extract as much capital from the franchise as possible.

Imagine if the blazers had drafted KD.

first Denicide now this guy, rip Blazers

Did he not answer the question about relocation at all lol???

Thought I saw something about him wanting a new stadium also, it’s always wanting tax payers money with these billionaires.

It would be so ironic if this man tried to move the Trailblazers to Vegas after the raiders and a’s (I know it’s not happening)

Nobody ever talks about the Jewish people Hitler let live

Dude really said “we kept a lot of people” like that fixes gutting an organization lol. Fans are scared of relocation for a reason, especially with a new owner who clearly isn’t sentimental about staff. Stuff like this is how you burn goodwill before you even build anything on the court.

Screw this guy. Thanks for not firing the entire organization! What a good guy!

Please sir, can we just have some more basketball?

Our world is run by psychopaths

What the fuck are you talking about, Tom?

“I only murdered a dozen people. Why isn’t anyone giving me credit for the billions of people I spared?”

He cut the fat but hopefully not the bone. He owns the franchise, it’s not a big deal. If he cut too deep he can rehire or replace.

I don’t necessarily think what he’s doing is smart, but I like seeing someone doing things differently. Especially in sport entertainment, there should be wildly different approaches, not 30 different corporations with almost identical “best practices” and a few different decisions here and there.
