Another crazy night was in the NBA offseason, in which the Trail Blazers sold to the NHL Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dunton for a valuation of more than $4 billion, and Yang Hansen is about to welcome the new boss; the Clippers signed another person to sign a training camp contract with former former player Preston; the NBA officially announced the schedule of the NBA Cup, the group stage started on November 1, and the championship will be born on December 17. According to famous reporter Shams, NHL Carolina Hurricanes owner Tom Dunton has agreed to buy the Portland Trail Blazers from Paul Allen's legacy at a valuation of more than $4 billion. Paul Allen acquired the Portland Trail Blazers for $70 million in 1988, which is also a good investment. However, it has not yet been approved by the NBA, and it is estimated that it will be until next year. After all, the Lakers have not approved it yet.

For the Trail Blazers, being able to complete the sale so quickly also means that the new boss is optimistic about their path to reconstruction. This summer, the Trail Blazers also gained a lot of recognition and attracted the attention of many Chinese fans. They selected Yang Hansen with the 16th pick in the draft, and then signed the former core of the team Lillard in the free market. These two operations have also received a lot of attention. The next step depends on their running-in effect. After the new boss takes office, he will probably make some adjustments to the lineup.

The Clippers continued to take action and signed a training camp contract with defender Jason Preston. Preston is an old Clippers player. He is the second round pick in 2021. He was then traded to the Clippers and played for two seasons. Unfortunately, he didn't have any chance and finally left again. In the 24-25 season, he signed a two-way contract with the Jazz, but unfortunately he was slashing and has been waiting for opportunities since then. Now he also needs to fight for a chance to become a regular person, and the next training camp will be the key.

NBA officially announced the specific schedule for the new season of the NBA Cup. The group stage will start on November 1 and end on November 29. The eight teams will be determined to advance, and the quarter-finals will be held, followed by the semi-finals and finals in Las Vegas, with the finals on December 17. This is the third year of the NBA Cup. The first year of the championship was the Lakers and the second year of the Bucks. I don’t know which team will be this time.
