Jody personally came up with the G League team name. She’s in too deep and is never gonna sell the team….

    I mean…it’s a killer name. She gets a ton of flak, but by all accounts, she’s been about as engaged as you could want. We can’t speak to the money side yet, but I imagine we will know very soon about that.

  2. Responsible-Still839

    Kudos to her then, because it’s a surprisingly decent and fresh concept.

  3. No_Cat_No_Cradle

    don’t get me wrong, the logo is fire and I’m gonna buy a shirt. but i would like her to sell the damn thing to phil knight and see seems too emotionally invested in her toy for that

    I think having a female involved in ownership is great and I think that pretty much everyone rich enough to own a team is problematic in some way or another.

    Paul Allen did love music.

  5. jamesmunger

    I’m not going to twist her doing a cool thing into a bad thing haha

    I was just thinking… do we have the rights to “Rip City Rhapsody” as a name? That would have been kinda sick and tie right into the retro logo.

    Still like it though.

  7. Sensitive-Sorbet917

    The symbol is pretty rad on it own

  8. ajmcgill

    I mean, she legally has to sell the team at some point.

    But that was definitely a great idea for the name/theme of the team

  9. UPGRAY3DD

    Maybe I’m missing something, but how is Remix a cool team name?

  10. running_through_life

    Well she legally has to sell it off eventually, I don’t really understand if there is a limit but his estate mentions it would be sold after his death for charity.

    I knew she loved this team when I would always see her during random Tuesday night games when we were tanking

  12. Frosti11icus

    Y’all might have to admit that Jody is a good owner at some point if she keeps all this up.

    Fired Olshey

    Traded CJ

    Drafted a young core

    Created a G-League team.

    It’s almost as if 95% of the problems on this team were created before she was owner. If she made any mistake it would be not firing Olshey before he hired Chauncey, but pretty clear she went out of her way/made up a way to rectify that mistake as soon as possible.

    (I don’t think Chauncey should be canned either btw. Coaches should get at least 3 years. I do think he will ultimately be fired cause it doesn’t appear like he’s any good.)

    Highly doubt it. Sounds like a PR move. Hey, the fans hate me. Well, they love this g league name, we’ll tell them it was your bright idea.

  14. 1850ChoochGator

    It’s a good name and they probably had brainstorming sessions. I’m guessing it came up in there and made it through each stage of the process.

    Some of yall mfers read way into it lol.

  15. waterkisser

    If you believe this you are extremely gullible.

  16. Remarkable_Reign_Man

    Great name. Good job Jody! Disregard the delusional sexists here on reddit. T-shirt ordered

  17. Green_with_Zealously

    She’s never going to sell the team to Phil Knight. At least, I hope not.

  18. oregonianrager

    That’s the thing about a trust it’s not up to her. It’s in the trust to sell the team. He’s just got a lot of shit to sell through. That’s what everyone has been saying on the radio atleast.

  19. StudentLoanSlave1

    I understand that’s she’s well engaged in the goings on. But just imagine what we could do with Phil at the helm

  20. People wanted her gone because they thought she had one foot out the door and didn’t care enough. But she’s showed the opposite, only she doesn’t like to make public statements directly… if that’s her biggest issue, I don’t know why people care too much. I suspect it’s perception, some of it sexist honestly.

  21. MallyFaze

    It’s a cool name and logo

    Still want her to sell it to Uncle Phil tho

  22. Forbidden_Donut503

    She’s growing on me as an owner I think. The main thing I don’t like about her ownership is the uncertainty. She has to sell the team at some point. We just want to know the next owner is vested in keeping the team here.

  23. Winter-Hamster-5660

    A 750 the game article, quoting John Conzano, said Jody is likely making 60-150 mln a year in management fees. 3-5% of the value of the team. Does she realize that if the Blazers win a ring, she makes even more money? The team is reported to be worth $3 bln already. If Dame goes and the Blazers tank more, that 3 gets smaller+ really fast. Especially if can’t sell season tickets or fill luxury boxes.

  24. Iwantalltheham69

    Women should not own sports teams

  25. hipsterasshipster

    Ah, so that’s why it’s an awful name

  26. jumbojimbojamo

    Rip city on its own would have been great, adding the remix part is kind of clunky I think.

  27. Ripcitytoker

    She did the lazy thing, which was to pick a name without any fan input.
