Wolves Sold to A-Rod

Post by Sid Hartman »

RT @JonKrawczynski: 3-time MLB MVP Alex Rodriguez and close friend Marc Lore have signed a letter of intent and are negotiating with Glen Taylor to become the next owners of the Minnesota Timberwolves, sources tell @TheAthletic

Damn A-rod owns the timberwolves now

A-Rod started his career in Seattle, will soon own the Seattle Supersonics, so makes sense.

Well it was a nice ride guys. Actually it really wasn’t but having an NBA team was entertaining.

The NBA would get a shit ton more money from an expansion team there, would they not?

RT @SIChrisMannix: Glen Taylor has insisted that whoever buys the Timberwolves has to commit to keeping the team in Minneapolis. And the 'Wolves have a long term lease at the Target Center. Still -- will be plenty of questions about ex-Mariner A-Rod's interest in taking the team to Seattle.

That lease is relatively inexpensive to break for billionaires. Means almost nothing imho.

with his connection to seattle this doesn't sound all that promising long-term for a local team at first blush. how "inexpensive"?

They will just buy Target Center and then sell Target Center after they move the team.

This is the end of the wolves in MN.

All there is left to keep the team here is $50 million buyout with Minneapolis and Target Center

This guarantees we get the first pick again. And then we have 2 years to enjoy the Wolves before they move to Seattle and win a championship their first year there.

I can totally imagine Alex telling Glen he will keep the team here....as his fingers are crossed behind his back.
