Tom Dundon's first week on the job as the Trail Blazers owner was a doozy, it turns out. He fired the team's consulting firm. He canned the lobbyists Jody Allen had hired, too.

That three-headed trio had led the charge in getting the state of Oregon to loosen its grip on the first tranche of what might be $600 million in public dollars in exchange for a long-term lease extension. Dundon fired them all, in a curious move that insiders say signaled a notable sea change at One Center Court. Will the Trail Blazers relocate? It's become a question to ask. Why has NBA Commissioner Adam Silver been so blasted quiet? Another good one. I have other questions, too. Meanwhile, well-placed sources tell me they're increasingly skeptical about Dundon's motivations. He continues to appear disinterested, they say, in negotiating.
