The Inside Story Of How Glen Taylor Sabotaged The Timberwolves Sale

I’d love to see Glen escorted from the Arena.
Hopefully some fans heckle Glen tonight. This article is very unsettling. What a scumbag
This, imo, is far and away the best coverage on this we’ve seen thus far. A must-read for anyone following along.
This guy pretty obviously went to “sources” and said tell me what you want me to write. 😂
Taylor is such a snake.
Don’t trust anything you read about this from a name you don’t recognize. And even take anything Dane/Jon K/etc says with a grain of salt as they’re dependent on their sources who likely have an ulterior motive. Pretty sure we’re getting astroturfed too, probably from both sides, to try to influence fan perception
EDIT: Also think it’s interesting that I started at the top of this thread and have been slowly moving down over the last hour or so
That May 1st mediation can’t come soon enough. So much speculation to sift through until then.
Best line of the piece “The Minnesota Timberwolves are now one of the NBA’s best teams.” Say it again
> I’m told that the limited partner was Bill Sexton, and his 2.96% equity stake (combined with Taylor’s existing ~34% stake), put the current Timberwolves owner back in front of Rodriguez and Lore — 37% to 36%.
For reference, Bill Sexton is about 90 years old and had almost bought the Wolves in ’94 before walking away from the deal for a few reasons. Sexton has been a part of the limited partner group since Taylor took over.
Who is Joe Pompliano? Can we trust that dude, or…?
Regardless whether you believe this or anything on the topic, Glen is a KNOWN snake whereas lore and arod are not. If you wanna throw the steroids as a reason not to trust, grow up.
Just through reading this it seems like the process may take 12 to 24 months to go through mediation, arbitration, and likely Court with the main sticking point being whether Lore and Arod are entitled to the 90 day extension or not. The writer said multiple sources in mergers/acquisitions think that is the most likely result that they should get the extensio:
> I wasn’t able to get an opinion from any of the lawyers who worked on this specific agreement. But I ran it by several sources who have worked on dozens of sports transactions, and the overwhelming opinion is that, unless there is something we don’t know, Rodriguez and Lore should be entitled to the 90-day extension.
So hopefully despite Taylor dragging his feet this will be the final result with the NBA eventually approving Dyal Capital’s involvement should they still want to finance Lore and Arod at the end of this.
Glen is the worst. Makes the Pohlads look like the greatest owners ever in comparison.
If someone wants to TLDR this, that would be cool. But without reading this, and not really paying attention to the details. As long as the team remains in MN, I don’t give a shit who owns them. I am a bit wary about two Seattle guys wanting to buy the team.
I’m going to be honest here, and know it isn’t a popular take.
But I’m not believing anything, anti Glen or anti Lore/Arod.
None of us know anything but what those groups are feeding reporters.
Glen Taylor is a barely animated corpse being kept alive by his lust for antisocial underhanded business dealings. Can’t wait until his goblin face is no longer dripping on our sidelines.
