Trail Blazers were acquired to record, Yang Hansen changed his boss as soon as he was selected

The NBA welcomes big news - According to authoritative reporter Shams, NHL Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dunton has successfully taken action and officially acquired the Portland Trail Blazers from the legacy custodian of the late Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen at a sky-high price of more than $4 billion! The amount of this transaction is astonishing, far exceeding the $425 million that Dungton spent only when he acquired the NHL Carolina Hurricanes in 2018. In just a few years, Dungton's investment vision and capital operation capabilities in the field of professional sports have been fully revealed.

What makes Portland fans more at ease is that Sportico, a well-known American sports and financial media, immediately followed up and confirmed: Dunton's team clearly plans to keep the Trail Blazers in Portland! For this important northwest town that regards the team as the city, this is undoubtedly a reassurance, ensuring that the future home team color of the Rose Garden Arena will not change.

The one that supports this record acquisition is a strong consortium. Dunton is not alone in his team, with two heavyweights: Mark Zal, co-president of the well-known investment institution Blue Owl Capital, and Sher Taylor, co-CEO of Collective Global. The luxurious lineup of funders provides solid funding and management support for this deal.

Just a few weeks before the deal was concluded, the Trail Blazers just made some moves in this year's NBA draft - potential star Yang Hansen from China was selected by the Grizzlies with the 16th pick in the first round, and was immediately traded to the Portland Trail Blazers. The joining of this international rookie coincides with the team's historic moment when they usher in a new club, which undoubtedly adds new room for imagination to the future of the Trail Blazers.
