Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dundon has reached a tentative agreement to buy the Portland Trail Blazers from Paul Allen’s estate, Dundon told CNBC.
Dundon declined to provide the terms of the proposed sale. CNBC’s latest Official NBA Team Valuations listed the Trail Blazers at a value of $3.65 billion.
The 53-year-old businessman is chairman of Dundon Capital Partners based in Dallas, Texas.
He’s also a passionate sports owner. He agreed to purchase a controlling stake in the Carolina Hurricanes in 2017, and he’s the majority owner of the Pro Pickleball Association and Major League Pickleball.
If his purchase of the Trail Blazers is approved, Dundon and his ownership team would take over ownership from the estate of the late Microsoft co-founder. Allen’s sister Jody Allen has been managing the the team since his death in 2018.
