It is surrounded by Marc Zahr, co-president of Blue Owl Capital, and Sheel Tyle, general co-director of the Global Collective, that Tom Dundon acquired the Portland Blazers trail.
Sporto estimates the value of the franchise at $ 3.6 billion.
According to information from Shams Charania, ESPN, the sum paid by Tom Dundon is a little higher.
