Dundon's Pickleball Empire: Blazers Fans Worry

Tom Dundon, owner of the Portland Trail Blazers, recently invested $225 million into his pickleball company, Pickleball Inc.

The teams expiring lease at Moda Center in 2030 also adds to fan worries about tight budgets in the luxury tax era. Dundons history of keeping costs low but building successful teams in other sports gives hope for a turnaround, but the question remains: will his funds go to the Blazers or stay in pickleball?
