The staff reductions affect non-basketball operations, marking a notable shift in the organization’s structure following the change in ownership. The move comes as Dundon begins reshaping the franchise’s business operations.

The layoffs are part of a broader internal reorganization rather than a basketball-operations move. No additional details were provided regarding the specific departments affected or the total number of employees impacted.
Portland remains in a transitional period as a franchise, with changes taking place off the court while the team continues to build for the future. The reorganization represents one of the first major business-side developments under Dundon’s ownership.
