Timberwolves Owner Refuses to Sell Stake to Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been making headlines this season with their impressive performance‍ on the court. However, off the court, the team’s ownership situation has been causing some drama.

According to sources, team owner Glen Taylor has announced that he will not be selling his controlling stake in the franchise to minority owners Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore. This ‌decision comes after the two failed to meet certain contractual deadlines and obligations during the sale process that began in 2021.

The relationship‌ between Taylor and his⁢ successors has reportedly deteriorated over the past two⁢ years, leading to this decision. This news comes as a disappointment to Lore and Rodriguez, who maintain that ⁤they have fulfilled all financial obligations ⁣and are committed to closing‍ the purchase of the team as soon as ​the NBA approves the sale.

In a statement, the two⁤ expressed ​their⁢ disappointment with Taylor’s decision, calling it “seller’s remorse” and stating that it is disruptive to the team and its‌ fans during ⁢such‌ a successful ‍season. They also pointed out that since the sale process began, NBA ⁤franchise values have skyrocketed, with teams like the Phoenix Suns, Dallas Mavericks, and Charlotte Hornets selling for billions of dollars.

Taylor, on the other hand, has stated‌ that​ he will continue to work with Lore, Rodriguez, and the rest of the ownership group to ensure that the‌ team has the necessary resources to compete at the highest level.

This news ​has caused ‍quite a stir in the sports world, with many wondering what the ‍future holds for the Timberwolves and their ownership. As the team continues ⁢to make strides on the court, it remains to be seen how this ownership drama will affect their performance and overall success.
