Turd Taylor Out As Majority Owner

[Small Hands]

Please help me understand how, down to a player level, this is a huge distraction?

I am not connecting those dots.

Because this is the second best wolves season in history and now we have an ownership fight which is gonna take away from the positives of the season.

Now players are gonna have to have a loyalty test to Glen or the future owners.

Lawsuits will be coming soon. We have this cloud over the product on the court.

It’s not good

If the fallout was “your checks aren’t gonna cash” I would buy into this. Otherwise it is status quo for players.

Are u suggesting players care? Hell….that shit show in phoenix didn’t stop players from signing…and doing quite well…for the suns..and he was a known racist.

Players will be fine. Allegiance is to the check, not the signature.

Correct… it might get annoying answering insignificant questions from reporters, but that’s about it.

[A$$MAN]

Yea they agreed to sell for 1.6 billion

They agreed to pay in installments of 400 million every 6 months

They missed the last deadline payment

Wolves also valued at 2.5 billion now

Either way this is a huge distraction after the wolves just won 50 games yesterday and are the number 2 seed in the west getting ready for the playoffs smh

Purchasing at $1.6 billion, now valued at $2.5 billion and they couldn't find investors? That seems pretty fucking weird, no?

[Moses Scurry]

Fade is WC's chicken little.

Players don't care.

[BBG]

I guess we can kiss a new stadium goodbye

Can Arod and Lore’s lawyers beat Glen’s?

Probably not. Glen is the richest guy in MN and has tons of friends in business and politics.

[UnFadeable21]

Ohhh Lore and Arod are gonna sue and fight Grandpa Glen

It’s on now

[SKOLMN]

Ohhh Lore and Arod are gonna sue and fight Grandpa Glen

It’s on now

It might just be my disdain for glen, but he seems like a snake and it wouldn’t surprise me if this was true. Im with arod and lore, I don’t think it’s any coincidence our best season in ages came after news that Taylor was selling the team

[jffl_commish]

Worst news in franchise history? Fuck Glen

[Stork311]

Ohhh Lore and Arod are gonna sue and fight Grandpa Glen

It’s on now

Whose statement appears more divisive and disruptive?

[UnFadeable21]

This is gold!!!

Lolololol

[SHAFA]

This is gold!!!

Lolololol

If by "gold", you mean "fucking stupid".

[Moses Scurry]

If arod and dipfuck didn't meet their financial obligations, then they can take a hike. It's Glen prerogative after that failure if he wants to sell it or not.

also, we as fans shouldn't want them if they couldn't even get this sweetheart deal completed.

[Lightning]

Taylor has often done his "business" in the press. Don't trust the guy at all.

shouldn't trust Lore and A-Rod either

[somuchyummy]

even if he doesn't buy the team anymore, I'm from now on referring to Arod as Turdrod.

[weimy froob]

It’s on now

that statement is laughable PR from two people that couldn't keep their side of the bargain. no way that taylor issues his statement unless he's clearly in the right. A-rod and marc fucked around and today they're finding out.

[SHAFA]

even if he doesn't buy the team anymore, I'm from now on referring to Arod as Turdrod.

The entire debacle will live in infamy as Timberwolves turdlore.

[Catalyst]

I just find it really hard to believe that if Taylor did not have a way to prove the other two had not met contractual obligations he would have made that initial statement.

[Lightning]

So the nearly 1 billion dollar increase in value likely motivates buyers to drag their feet rather than an owner drag his? sure.

that's a classic bullshitter ploy

[weimy froob]

yeah it's glen that's dragging his feet.

The initial deadline for the sale to Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore was Dec. 31.

he extended the deadline a couple of times. where's the money A-rod?

[DonaldDouchebag]

Classic T-pups.

Lol

[Moses Scurry]

Lightning coming in hot! Did Glen say in an interview that Iron Maiden sucks?

[weimy froob]

I just find it really hard to believe that if Taylor did not have a way to prove the other two had not met contractual obligations he would have made that initial statement.

everything was run by the lawyers. my guess is that it's iron clad that glen will still be majority owner after this latest deadline to come up with the money was missed. fuck around and find out. that's what happened to A-rod and marc.

This. Plus glen coming out and saying the team is no longer for sale leads me to believe he had sellers remorse as arod and lore said. If they truly couldn’t come up with the funds then Taylor could just as easily find others willing to buy the team. Glen is trying to weasel his way out of this now that we are destined for long term success

I doubt he's going to die with the team though.
He clearly doesn't want it to stay in his family, and considered he is 82 years old, I'm sure he has a contingency plan in place, or at least soon will begin the process of coming up with one.

[PanicWolf]

Glen Taylor is essentially the luckiest man in the world. All arod had to do was pay within the timeframe and it was his. Glens team was essentially gone. His buyer blundered and he found out he has the face of the league on his team now. Literally luckiest man in the world.

I trust Turd Taylor more than I trust these 2 new guys. One of the first things I learned in the Marine Corps was USMC stands for...

U
Signed the
Motherfucking
Contract


If these 2 turds didn't fulfill their end of the agreement, fuck em. I have a ton more faith in Turd Taylor that he will keep the franchise in MN than I do with these 2.

My complaints about Taylor are all about how poorly he had ran the franchise in the past with his terrible GM & coaching hires. That has been remedied for the time being.

Taylor should use the press to apologize to KG for whatever misunderstanding those two have. Not being able to bring KG back into the fold is a terrible missed opportunity that we all want to get corrected.

If given a choice between an owner that I'm certain is committed to keeping the franchise in MN vs. new ownership that will immediately be able to bring KG back into the organization but I'm uncertain of their loyalty to MN...I'm choosing Turd Taylor without thinking twice.

If money is a problem for new ownership now, it's pretty damn naive to think that the temptation of moving the franchise to the highest bidding city in the future isn't something we should be concerned about.
