Jody Allen, chair of the Seahawks and the Trail Blazers and trustee of the Paul G. Allen Trust, released a statement on Tuesday, maintaining that neither one of the teams is up for sale and that there are no discussions about selling either one of the franchises at this time.
“As chair of both the Portland Trail Blazers and the Seattle Seahawks, my long-term focus is building championship teams that our communities are proud of. Like my brother Paul, I trust and expect our leaders and coachers to building winning teams that deliver results on and off the court and field,” Allen wrote.
