📍CHICAGO — The Trail Blazers may finally, officially be for sale, but they have an offseason to prepare for, too.
Right now, the messaging at all levels of the organization has been "business as usual" after this week's announcement that Paul Allen's estate is beginning the formal sale process for the team.
