PORTLAND, Ore. Glen... Dorsey Womens Jersey . -- Paul Allen insists hes not going to sell the Portland Trail Blazers, but says this season is the most disappointing hes had in 24 years as the teams owner. The billionaire co-founder of Microsoft posted an open letter to fans on the Blazers team website on Tuesday evening. In it, he reiterated what hes said all season long, that the team is not for sale. "Im working hard to get this team back on track," he wrote. "No offers have been made to buy the team and none have been solicited." The Blazers wrapped up the lockout-shortened season 28-38 and out of the playoffs. Portland is operating with an interim general manager and is looking for a head coach -- but the team has also collected up to four picks in the upcoming NBA draft and has freed up considerable cap space for free agency. Allen said he will be financially sensible with the moves the team makes. "One thing we are not going to do is to spend money like there is no tomorrow, and calls to do so just dont make sense," Allen said. "Ive tried that path before -- it doesnt work and is not sustainable. We will follow a judicious and sustainable path going forward." When the Blazers opened training camp in December, they were hit with bad news. All-Star guard Brandon Roy announced his retirement because of ongoing issues with his knees, former No. 1 draft pick Greg Oden had suffered another setback with his knees, and forward LaMarcus Aldridge needed a procedure to treat a heart condition. Portland answered by signing free agent Jamal Crawford and making some other moves before Aldridge returned and the team got off to a fast start. But soon losses started to mount, and at the trade deadline the Blazers dismissed respected head coach Nate McMillan. The Blazers also traded starters Marcus Camby and Gerald Wallace, and waived Oden after five disappointing seasons. "These things happen in sports. Injuries are part of the game. Sometimes you have bad luck. But as the 2011-2012 season played out, I was asking myself the same question I know a lot of you were asking: What happened to a season that had such promise?" Allen wrote. "There are no easy answers for that." Allen confirmed he has interviewed one candidate for the general managers position personally. President Larry Miller said recently that acting GM Chad Buchanan would be considered. "Were moving forward thoughtfully because we must ensure we have the right fit," Allen said. "Ideally, wed like to have someone in place before the draft and before we decide on a permanent coach, but finding the right executive may take time." Y.A. Tittle 49ers Jersey . Edwin Encarnacion hit two of Torontos season-high five home runs as the Blue Jays capped a two-game mini-sweep of Philadelphia by outscoring the Phillies 12-6 on Thursday at Rogers Centre. Y.A.

Marco Belinelli had 16 points, Danny Green added 14, Manu Ginobili 12 and Tim Duncan 12 for San Antonio (3-3), which closes its preseason schedule Thursday against Houston before opening its NBA season Oct.GLASGOW -- Recently crowned Scottish champion Celtic dealt a blow to Motherwells hopes of qualifying for next seasons Champions League by easing to a comfortable 3-0 win at Fir Park on Sunday. A double by debutant Tony Watt and a late strike from Cha Du-ri sealed victory for Celtic, which secured a first title since 2008 two weeks ago. Motherwell could qualify for the Champions League if it stays in third place because Rangers, which is currently 11 points ahead in second, is unlikely to be eligible for Europe next season after falling into administration -- a form of financial bankruptcy.
