New Trail Blazers owner Tom Dundon told season-ticket holders he intends to bring a championship to Portland. In an email Tuesday evening, Dundon thanked fans for their commitment, writing, "you show up, you care and you expect more than mediocrity." He noted seeing the same commitment in Raleigh, where fans watched the Hurricanes win the Stanley Cup. Dundon also addressed negotiations over the Moda Center, where the team is asking for $585 million in public funds for renovations.
He wrote, "We're working to make sure the Moda Center remains one of the best buildings in the NBA." Dundon has faced criticism for sweeping layoffs impacting some 70 employees and the arena funding issue.
