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.

Plenty of unknown details…
Two sides of the story, I’m sure…
But Glen really has a knack at taking the shine off a successful season at the most in-opportune time.

Re: Turd Taylor Out As Majority Owner
Probably pretty hard to go this route but both parties should have kept their mouths shut about this until after the season.
To the one’s saying this wont be a distraction to the players… I’ve seen enough off the field shit that has derailed the Vikings over the years that I am not so sure, especially with the fragile minded nature of some of the players on this roster.
Thirdly, I think they are stuck between a rock and a turd. I think AFraud is as big of a snake as you will ever see. I think he and Lore would move this team out of Minnesota at one of the first chances they could get. I also think it’s going to be really really hard for them to ever get a new arena here with how many they’ve built over the last years and with everything else going on. It’s too bad the Pohlads were given a stadium to not even care to compete in.
Taylor runs the team like shit but I trust him and his loyalty to MN. ARod and Lore have already shown to be better at putting a better product out but I trust them ZERO when it comes to a little adversity to their business plans. You can bet your ass they are going to ask for a new arena over the next 5 years if they end up with the team and I don’t think it’s happening here anytime soon.

Re: Turd Taylor Out As Majority Owner
Really surprised at the crowd that’s taking Taylor’s side, he’s a snake who’s trying to undo an agreement that was struck years ago
@Seth_Kaplan
Glen Taylor with @ChadHartmanShow when asked if the reason for this happening is because the franchise might be worth double what he was selling it for:
"Partly so, yes. I have a responsibility to those who have been on this ride for the last 40 years."
Amazing. Crude.

seller's remorse has nothing to do with it. it's besides the point. it isn't taylor that didn't live up to the agreement. he extended the deadline twice. that's more than fair. too bad for A-rod and marc that they couldn't come up with the money.SKOLMN wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 3:37 pm Really surprised at the crowd that’s taking Taylor’s side, he’s a snake who’s trying to undo an agreement that was struck years ago

Re: Turd Taylor Out As Majority Owner
Saw something finally dropped from Krawczynski.
Mainly:
Spoiler:
According to the statement, Taylor’s view is that when Lore and Rodriguez exercised their option to buy the final 40 percent in the deal, that opened a 90-day window for them to complete the entirety of closing. The agreement required Lore and Rodriguez to complete several steps in that window, so that when March 27 arrived, everything was finished.
But Taylor’s view of the agreement shows that the prospective owners have missed several benchmarks along the way, including not yet going under a final review from the NBA’s finance committee, not receiving a letter of approval or a vote from the board of governors. No money has been exchanged yet, either.
Taylor believes that because those obligations were not fulfilled, Lore and Rodriguez were not eligible for an extension to finish that process and the option, therefore, has expired. Assuming Taylor does retain full control of the team, he is not expected to put it back on the market, league sources told The Athletic.

Re: Turd Taylor Out As Majority Owner
i go back to this walters column. it looks to me that the ducks weren't in order by the prospective buyers and after a couple of extensions glen exercised his right as the owner to retain the team when the agreement's been breached.
Charley Walters: Timberwolves buyers may need another extension
It still looks like the $1.5 billion sale of the Timberwolves and Lynx will happen. But up until at least last week, there was an awkward silence on behalf of the buyers.
The initial deadline for the sale to Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore was Dec. 31. Another deadline granted by owner Glen Taylor had been pushed back until this Thursday, presumably for Rodriguez and Lore to acquire more capital.
Don’t be surprised if yet another deadline is granted beyond Thursday.
Word is the buyers still need $600 million to close the deal. For a transaction of this magnitude, a lack of correspondence between the buyers and seller has been puzzling.
Taylor hadn’t heard from the buyers in at least a month, but he has remained patient. At age 82 he’s already a double-billionaire and hardly in need of cash.
— Rodriguez and Lore are in the process of bringing new partners into the deal, but those have been unknown, even to Taylor, who if he’s to become a 20 percent partner, as initially was planned, would like to know the conditions. Taylor’s group on Jan. 3 requested pertinent information from the buyers without response.
Taylor remains the Timberwolves-Lynx owner and oversees all transactions. It’s been under his final say and direction that the Wolves have become the Western Conference’s co-leader.

that first extension was february 29. the onus on getting this agreement done within the parameters is on the prospective buyers. they failed. too bad for them. personally, i think they were getting the runaround from the potential investors. that's what can happen when you don't have the cash yourselves.

Re: Turd Taylor Out As Majority Owner
They're currently one of the top teams in the league, with one of the best GMs in the league, with a solid young core, and a coach that is maximizing the hand that he's been dealt while creating an environment that has been allowing this team to retain players like Conley & Reid at a discounted rate.jffl_commish wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 4:03 pm Glen is a POS, period.

Turd Taylor deserves to be ripped for his past fuck ups. Wolves fans have done that and will continue to rip him and dwell on the past. It's what we do. It's all we know. Do the same people also feel like he deserves any credit for the current state of the Wolves?
The more I think about this situation, the more I'm glad the team is staying with Turd Taylor. You guys want to fuck around with wannabe owners that couldn't fulfill their end of the deal? These are the kind of owners that will have the Wolves playing in Nashville or some other city down the road. Fuck them and the horses they rode in on.

Honestly, I don't trust any of them. Once again, the fans are screwed. This is not what anyone should be worried about, the team is fighting hard to get through their very best season. Everyone should be worried about supporting them in the best way possible not gearing up to once again make us the laughing stock of the league. I honesly think the league should make sure a deal like this never happens again. Have the entire amount up front or don't even try. I just find it nearly impossible to think the league would approve this shit show of a deal.
