I'd be surprised too but on the open market.... if he takes top offer, not sure I see that owner keeping them here over Seattle or Vegas.

Didn't the Wolves and Target center sign a lease through 2035? Can't imagine getting out of that contract would be cheap at all.

I don't necessarily view that as a positive tweet. Essentially saying that everyone interested is only because of being able to relocate.

Papa Glen might be in the hunt for a while

This would honestly make dealing with this franchise to date worth it.

Please let this come to fruition. I’ll forgive 2020 for everything that’s happened. I’ll even delay my wedding another year if this is allowed to go through.

I was curious if his group was one that had been eliminated as a candidate based on moving the Team.

If not, I wish he had done more over the last year or so to bridge the issues between him and Taylor instead of doing his best to burn it down.

If he is committed to keeping the team here, I hope he gets it. It would be nice to have an owner that has that fire and passion for the game.

GO WOLVES!! :thumbsup:

god i would so love to see the end of the taylor era and the start of a KG era. i have NO idea if KG would be good at this. elgin baylor, isaiah thomas and michael jordan have all somewhat bombed out - but KG at least always had a badass defensive tone to his career - and one would hope that would impart itself onto GM/coaching decisions - and, if not, bye bye gersson. i don't think for a millisecond that KG would be a hands off owner. like i said, not a slam dunk for success - there's still the spectre of troy hudson hanging over this like a wet fart - but time has passed, and maybe KG's learned a few things too. for sure - for sure - for sure - he's got more insight into the game of basketball in the callous on the end of his big toe than glen's got in the essence of his entire being.
There is little difference between the memory of a real event and the memory of a dream.
