Timberwolves sale falls apart: Alex Rodriguez, Marc Lore fail to close deal, NBA team 'no longer for sale'
Glen Taylor will remain the owner of the franchises

Re: Turd Taylor Out As Majority Owner
This.
I am not following the logic on Seattle/Vegas due this….and I also can’t fault Taylor, unless he put in roadblocks. He seems to have done what anyone would do….and likely kept a bucketload of earnest money to boot.

Re: Turd Taylor Out As Majority Owner
“Taylor says the window for Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez to purchase the majority share of the Timberwolves/Lynx expired on March 27 -- and "the buyer could have been entitled to a limited extension...However those circumstances did not occur."
Lore/Rodriguez tell ESPN they did raise money necessary to purchase controlling interest, but Taylor contends that they didn’t meet contractual deadlines throughout transition.
The relationship between Taylor and his successors – Lore and Rodriguez has disintegrated over the last two years.
Timberwolves and Lynx are No Longer for Sale!”

I assume those two maintain the 40% stake they bought in for at the beginning of all this. Taylor's just yanking the rest off the table.

Re: Turd Taylor Out As Majority Owner
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

Re: Turd Taylor Out As Majority Owner
yep. they'll make some good money if/when they decide to sell their share. i seriously doubt that they're in the conversation anymore about potential new majority owners though with the way the franchise has appreciated in value since their agreement. really surprising they couldn't find the money based on that.SHAFA wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 10:46 amI assume those two maintain the 40% stake they bought in for at the beginning of all this.

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

Re: Turd Taylor Out As Majority Owner
As much as i'm not a Glen fan - Lore and ARod are now in the Farted Around Too Much Hall of Fame. I can understand why Taylor pulled the offer. They are the dickheads in this, not Glen. As much as I hate to say it.
There is little difference between the memory of a real event and the memory of a dream.

Re: Turd Taylor Out As Majority Owner
This is just my speculation... Lore and A-Rod stopped communicating to Taylor. They were working on getting the last of the funds and had several things fall through. I feel that because of the lack of communication Taylor lost belief they were not promising to move the team just to get the money. I think taylor felt shinanigans were in order and pulled the plug.

If the fallout was “your checks aren’t gonna cash” I would buy into this.

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.

I think some of you may be correct. Still don't like it or him. Put a fat pause on placing "21" in the rafters.

Re: Turd Taylor Out As Majority Owner
Oh shit, a player loyalty test. I can see it now. Literal lines will be drawn in the locker room. Weapons will be cached. Edwards turns on Conley with some bite bites, Gobert rubs his hands all over Towns face. Reid tosses Anderson some extra beach towels to team up against Minott and Miller. Nori subverts Finch's commands. Warren's alone in the corner with a bucket of popcorn.
PANDEMONIUM!
Or they all look at each other and ask: "The checks still clearing for you too?" "Yeah?" "Cool."

Re: Turd Taylor Out As Majority Owner
It's not, and it's ridiculous to say so It's like the people who say some player's contract negotiation is going to be a distraction to the rest of the team, it's just a clichéd and tired sports take.Stork311 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 10:50 amPlease help me understand how, down to a player level, this is a huge distraction?UnFadeable21 wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 10:46 am Yea they agreed to sell for 1.6 billion

Glen just gave an interview to kstp channel 5
Says Arod and Lore missed the deadline on March 27 so he canceled their contract
He says he’s gonna run the team as majority owner and that tbsh can keep their 37% they paid for so far.

Update
“ Over the last three years, Rodriguez and Lore purchased 40 percent of the team in two 20 percent installments. They were supposed to acquire the final 40 percent in early 2024 and Taylor was to keep 20 percent.”
However Taylor says they missed the deadline yesterday and has canceled the sale and voided their agreement this morning.

He will never be my favorite person , but if he has thwarted an underhanded Norm Green, he is once again our saviour. No one wants the team to go. I hope.
