Poll - Confidence in Ownership

but that is because I am not sure the relevance.

We don’t have this team without them. At the same time we do not have the Witsitt era without them either.

So long as the core of the team is maintained over the next several seasons, I am fine with any moves they make in management…

It is hard to make sense of what is going on. The Seahawks are owned by Paul Allen as well…The Seahawks traded away a decent backup quarterback for chump change. They traded away one of their best defensive ends (a potential starter) for chump change. They cut their starting safety for no compensation. They overpaid to acquire a third string unproven quarterback. Their moves have been headscratchers so far. Not as much of a head scratcher as much as what is going on in Blazerland right now.

somebody should check on what meds Allen is taking. I get the feeling that sound judgement is on a vacation somewhere in the Bahamas.

It’s Vulture’s Inc. that scares me

I have been won back over the past few years but there have been some rocky times with ownership even in the past 2 years for me.

Confident because he loves the team.

Not confident because he is a Seattle guy and no matter how long the lease is at the Rose Garden I can’t help but wonder if he wants to move the team to his hometown.

Confident because they implemented a long term plan to get the team back on track instead of continuing deeper into the era of Trader Bob. The plan seems to be working.

Not confident because this is still the guy that stepped in and signed Zach Randolph and Darius Miles to huge contracts when conventional wisdom seemed to say wait a year and see if anyone else makes a better offer.

Like I said, undecided.

Take away the champions of the past few years (Spurs, Miami, Boston, and Lakers)….which owners would you want? The list is fairly small…
Cleveland’s owner has gotten praise as being a solid owner. They have done their best to surrounding Lebron with guys who can help him win a ring, but in the end Gilbert has not thrown the type of money around that PA has. I’m not all too impressed with having Mike Brown as your coach when your star player is Lebron.

The only owner I’d want that hasn’t won a ring is Cuban…and really that is in part bc of his antics. He and PA are both passionate about their team and both seem to be willing to throw money around…the only difference is that Cuban is more outspoken than Paul it seems.

1.) That botched media announcement was horrible and showed an image of KP under siege.
2.) Paul Allen has the ego that can come with too much power.
3.) This story has been played out before with the Vulcans.
4.) Dysfunction/disorganization are both rampant in PA companies which leads me to believe that this is not a fluke but how things really work minus someone like KP filtering it out.

A number of people here poo poo’d culture. Blows my mind, but they do and it makes me wonder if they’ve ever worked somewhere that you were energized and excited to go in to work for. If the current culture changes I see that trickling down to players.

Circumstantial evidence and you’re willing to hang “the ownership”.

I am embarrassed to be a Blazer fan not because of the ownership but because of our reactionary, volatile fans and members of the media that have a National Enquirer like need to sensationalize.

Next thing you know BEdge will be in an uproar because one of the Blazer Dancers was texting Tiger Woods… I DON’T CARE!!!… We are in the middle of a stretch run, with a tough set of games ahead, and you people are wrapped up in melodrama about off court events. Do you think that none of this filters down to the players and becomes a distraction?

I support the PLAYERS, COACHES, MANAGEMENT and OWNER of this team and refuse to turn on them like a wounded Puma just because they make human mistakes.

GO BLAZERS!!!
