The announcement that Paul Allen’s estate is open for business and that the Trail Blazers are finally for sale sets off a domino effect in Portland, both for the team and for the city.

What comes next?

Who buys the team now that Phil Knight has taken himself out of the running? Is there even the faintest possibility that a new owner could try to relocate the team?

Those are the big questions debated by hosts Bill Oram and Brenna Greene on this week’s episode of the Oregonian Sports Podcast.

Among the topics discussed:

• Reaction to the announcement that Jody Allen is preparing to sell

• Why Phil Knight sitting on the sidelines shouldn’t be a surprise

• The impact of the draft lottery on the Blazers’ ability to build a winning team

• The lottery isn’t rigged, but it does feel stacked against the teams that need luck the most
