Since the death of late owner Paul Allen, the eventual sale of the Portland Trail Blazers has become a certainty. Today in a column for The Oregonian, writer John Canzano casts a vote for Portland Timbers owner Merritt Paulson to purchase the team.
Canzano cites Paulson’s tenure with the MLS squad as proof of his competency:
The Timbers owner has been a terrific, engaging, enthusiastic leader. He wins, re-invests in the product, and best of all, gets so many of the little things right.
The Timbers play for another MLS title on Saturday in Atlanta.
