Jody Allen, the sister of late NBA player Paul Allen, has written a farewell letter to Trail Blazers employees and fans, expressing her pride in the team's achievements and contributions to the community. She served as the chair of the team after her brother Paul Allen died of non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2018. The team experienced a decline during her tenure as the estate ran it, with a mandate to eventually sell and donate proceeds to charity. The majority ownership of the Trail Blazers has been transferred to a group led by Texas businessman Tom Dundon. The Allen Estate continues to own the NFL's Seattle Seahawks, which is reportedly for sale for over $10 billion.
