The Portland Trail Blazers are likely about to undergo a change in ownership soon, and several businesspeople are expected to be interested in owning the team.
After owner Paul Allen’s death in 2018 at the age of 65, his sister Jody took control of the franchise and has been running it ever since. However, Jody is now set to search for a new owner of the franchise that belonged to her brother.
Per John Canzano, among those interested in buying the team are Larry Ellison, co-founder of the Oracle Corporation, Laurene Powell-Jobs, the widow of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, and Mackenzie Scott, the ex-wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
