Hosting a talking head with personal history and obvious bias is wonderful journalistic integrity. Get KG on for a counter-argument on Taylor!! 🤣🤣

From what I’m seeing online: -Alex and Mark owned 40% and needed to bump it to 80% this past week. -They needed 600 million to do so. -The Carlyle group in question backed out of their 300 million commitment but were replaced with another equity firm called Dyal. -The Alex and Mark camp submitted the paperwork to the league last week heading into the deadline. -Glenn Taylor then claimed they didn’t meet the deadline and weren’t eligible/getting an extension and the team is no longer for sale. -The case must now go to mediation and arbitration to resolve the dispute as outlined in the agreement. TLDR: Alex & Mark are claiming they’ve followed through on their obligations to finalize the purchase of the team. Taylor is saying they didn’t and trying to back out. Now its going to go to court to settle the dispute.

The second i knew A Rod was involved and that they were going to need installments over multiple years is when i knew this sale was never going to happen. Terms lile that don't happen for pro franchise sales. Full checks get written and the next day or two later, there is a new owner.

They have already purchased one traunch of the team (40% worth) They were supposed to buy the last 40% (to make it a total of 80% & majority shareholders) on Dec 27th. They then worked out a 90 day extension with Glenn but the money was not delivered yesterday the 27th. Hence the news today. This was always going to be the final result based on the weird and rare circumstances of this deal.

Not at all. A-Rod gather the money just close to the deadline but NBA Chief Executive of NBA Adam Silver and the gangsta Glen Taylor (he is politician) made a deal under the table, in others words we are tied due to have common interest: Greedy, influence, power, corruption. No man, Adam Silver is not a white dove opposite he is wolf like Glen Taylor. Timberwolves has been a lose team from 1995 when Taylor perceives in the last season that the team increases its value and the possibility to get the NBA title he refused achieved the deal with Lory and A-Rod. I say the again, Adam. Silver is the hooker dressed sexy who attend and bring the drinks to the NBA's iwners, especially those who report incomes and benefits. In short, all of this Saga or drama is about the abuse of power and corruption.

A Rod doesnt have the money to buy a team, if im Silver, im only negotiating with tech companies, they're the only ones who can purchase a team at this price point.
