Dundon’s Frugal Playbook Signals a New NBA Ownership Era

Portland’s new owner Tom Dundon is aggressively cutting costs—whether by skipping playoff T-shirts, not bringing Two-Way Contract players to postseason games, or reportedly lowballing a head coach’s salary—patterns that the piece argues could foreshadow a broader, profit-focused shift in NBA ownership as franchise values rise and owners seek faster returns. This creates tension around player development, coaching credibility, and the sustainability of a competitive team culture.

Portland Snubs Two-Way Players on Playoff Road Trip to San Antonio

Portland did not bring its two-way players Caleb Love, Chris Youngblood and Jayson Kent on the road for the first two games of its playoff series in San Antonio, a move Sean Highkin calls “outside standard practice” and tied to owner Tom Dundon’s cost-cutting reputation; two-way players aren’t postseason eligible but are typically on road trips, while Love and Sidy Cissoko had contributed during injury-plagued stretches; the piece also notes broader budget concerns around coaching hires and staff costs.

Portland's Two-Way Trio Stays Home as Blazers Kickoff Playoffs

Portland will not bring its three two-way players—Caleb Love, Chris Youngblood and Jayson Kent—to San Antonio for Games 1-2 of the first-round against the Spurs, a rare, cost-cutting move since two-way contracts can’t participate in the postseason. Love had been a key contributor during Portland’s injury-riddled stretch, helping the team clinch a playoff spot, but his two-way status leaves him ineligible to play. Cissoko’s conversion to a standard contract is noted, and the Blazers will rely on their standard-rotation players while Love and the other two will watch from Portland; Game 3 is set for Friday at the Moda Center as Portland pursues its first playoff run since 2021.

"Sixers Bolster Roster with Multiple Two-Way Signings"

The Philadelphia 76ers have signed Arizona State forward Marcus Bagley to an Exhibit 10 deal, along with three players to two-way contracts. Bagley, the younger brother of former second overall pick Marvin Bagley III, has only played 11 games across three seasons with the Sun Devils. The one-year, non-guaranteed minimum contract allows the team to convert it to a two-way deal prior to the start of the regular season, with bonuses for players if they are waived and subsequently report to the team’s G League affiliate.

"Sixers ink trio to two-way contracts"

The Philadelphia 76ers have signed Ricky Council IV, Terquavion Smith, and Azuolas Tubelis to two-way contracts after failing to buy a second-round pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. Council is known for his athleticism and touch around the rim, Smith is a high-volume scorer with size concerns, and Tubelis is a productive combo big with shooting and defensive limitations. The signings mean that Mac McClung and Louis King will not be returning on two-way deals.
