Phil Knight, the legendary founder of Nike, and Los Angeles Dodgers co-owner Alan Smolinisky have expressed interest in purchasing the Portland Trail Blazers, reports ESPN‘s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Knight and Smolinisky have “made a $2 billion-plus written offer” to purchase the team from Paul Allen. The possibility of having Knight within the Blazers’ ownership role indicates a desire to keep the team in Portland, according to Wojnarowski.

Despite Knight and Smolinisky’s offer, the Blazers ownership responded by stating that the team is not for sale, per Wojnarowski.

Stay tuned to SoleSavy as the story develops.

Sole Savy is unreal! With a busy schedule it’s hard to keep up on shoes, and the group keeps me up to date on releases, tips on how to manually cop, and a marketplace with killer deals from fellow like minded collectors. It’s changed the sneaker game for me!

@SoleSavy is the truth. They've helped me cop kicks I never would've imagined getting at retail. Members always willing to assist on drops too. And most of all, a REAL community of REAL sneakerheads. These guys should be the gold standard for sneaker communities! #LifetimeMember

My membership paid for itself three fold by being solely responsible for my union 4’s, mesh sacai waffles, sacai blazers, court purple aj1s, glow in the dark yeezy 350s, travis scott lows (which I traded to get desert ore ow’s), air max 1 londons, bc3’s for way under retail etc.

Can't say enough about SS. The stellar help with copping shoes is a given but it's the community that makes it extra special. Hands down one of the best decisions I made as a wannabe sneakerhead.

The community of sneakerheads and resources available to help manually cop are great and really will help you get more Ws. The Zoom calls for hyped drops like Union Jordan 4 only adds to the camaraderie while providing real time instruction
