NHL Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon has agreed to buy the Portland Trail Blazers, according to Scott Soshnick and Eben Novy-Williams of Sportico. Dundon brings a history of success in turning around the Hurricanes franchise. Even better, Sportico reports that Dundon intends to keep the Blazers in Portland.
Blazers fans should be thrilled about this recent development. However, it could spell trouble for one particular individual: general manager Joe Cronin.
