4.25 billion US dollars! Trail Blazers finally sold, the new boss s plan is revealed, Yang Hansen has a long way to go

NBA teams' market value has risen, and selling teams has become a new fashion - in the past nine years, nine NBA teams have changed hands, namely the Rockets, Nets, Jazz, Hornets, Bucks, Mavericks, Suns, Celtics and Lakers. The NBA officially announced that the board of directors has unanimously agreed to the Celtics' equity transfer transaction, with a transaction amount of up to US$6.1 billion. At the same time, Jenny Buss sold the Lakers to Walter for $10 billion, setting a record for professional sports teams. The deal is still in the approved stage and the specific time is to be determined. Just today, another NBA team has changed hands.

According to NBA reporter Shams, sources revealed that NHL Hurricanes owner Dunton agreed to buy the Portland Trail Blazers from Paul Allen's legacy at a valuation of more than $4 billion. Subsequently, US media followed up and reported that the transaction will be paid in two batches, one will be paid immediately upon completion of the transaction, and the other will be paid in subsequent payments, with the total valuation of the acquisition being approximately US$4.25 billion. Compared with the Celtics' $6.1 billion and the Lakers' $10 billion, the Trail Blazers' $4.25 billion may be "not worth mentioning", but it has extraordinary significance.

Turn back to 1988, Paul Allen, one of the founders of Microsoft, spent $70 million to buy the Trail Blazers and officially became the owner of the NBA team. Paul Allen has run this small town team for decades until he died of cancer in 2018. In his will, he explicitly asked his sister Jody Allen to sell the team in due course, and all valuations will be used for charity. As early as 2022, a consortium offered $2 billion to acquire Trail Blazers, but Jody Allen believes that the time is not ripe. Until today, Jody Allen waited for three years and finally sold the Trail Blazers, and sold it at a double price, which was a perfect execution of Paul Allen's will.

In the past few years, perhaps because of the reason for waiting for a price, the Trail Blazers have always used the principle of saving expenses, and the coaching staff and management have changed their health, and the team's lineup is not as competitive as before. As the saying goes, if a new official takes office, the new Trail Blazers boss Dunton will surely inject new vitality into this team, and the new boss plan is exposed! According to NBA reporter Shams, Dungton will not move the Trail Blazers out of Portland, and his team plans to discuss with the city and state governments a public-private partnership to jointly build a new stadium. This is a positive signal: the new boss is willing to use real money to reshape the team's glory.

The change of the pioneers is an opportunity and a challenge for Chinese young player Yang Hansen, and there is a long way to go! On the one hand, Trail Blazers can change hands at prices far exceeding expectations, and the market value behind Yang Hansen is an invisible driving force. The Trail Blazers just selected Yang Hansen with the No. 16 draw, and sales of Yang Hansen's jersey and peripheral products soared, which is enough to show how fragrant Yang Hansen is. On the other hand, when the new Trail Blazers boss takes office, spending money is the first step, and building a winning culture is the second step, which means that the competition among young people in the Trail Blazers will enter a white-hot state, especially Yang Hansen. He must go further before he can truly gain a foothold in the team! In short, opportunities will only be left to those who are prepared. I hope Yang Hansen can seize the opportunity and realize the talent of "China Jokic" as soon as possible. Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
