Dundon’s Hockey Blueprint for Blazers

Tom Dundon’s bold vision for the Blazers is gaining steam as the Hurricanes’ Stanley Cup Final run proves his winning formula works — even if his early cost-cutting moves sparked backlash. Dundon admits to hearing criticism but insists his NBA approach mirrors his hockey success: relentless work ethic, smart decisions, and a culture built for championships. He’s also reflecting on a coaching misstep — offering Tiago Splitter a below-market deal after a stellar season — regretting the timing, especially during the playoffs. Now, with the Hurricanes still chasing glory and the Blazers entering a pivotal offseason, Dundon is doubling down, convinced his blueprint for Carolina can deliver the same magic in Portland.
