The Timberwolves are having their best season in decades but things are chaotic behind the scenes. This is the story of why team ownership hates each other and how it could affect Anthony Edwards’ career moving forward.

This is why having ownership groups in sports has killed the NBA. The majority of owners become investors instead of a single owner who probably overpaid for the team because he loved the sport. The fans lose because now we become resources to be exploited instead of fans to impress. The mainstream media has been pushing for ownership groups in the NFL, and succeeded in multiple cases so far. The Denver Broncos being the perfect example. We should hate the move to ownership groups. It will kill every sport it infects.

Theres very few individuals who can afford pro sports teams by themselves and many of those aren't interested in sports.

Short answer when you have a contract to sell, you no longer are majority owner. Facts are Arod and Lore had the money and in the contract it states there are escalators that trigger. Those escalators also state there is an extension that kicks in once the paper work gets filed. Which it was as stated even in this video. Very short answer is Glen Taylor is a greedy SOB. This is also not the first time he has pulled crap like this

Overall pretty good video, but you're still parroting Glen Taylor's talking point that they missed the deadline. The contract has come out due to another minority owner suing Glen Taylor, and there's a clause that seems to guarantee an automatic 90 day extension if all details are submitted to the NBA and they are just waiting on league approval. Expensive lawyers will argue over this clause, but it isn't as cut and dry as Lore and A-Rod missed the deadline.

$600 MLN for 40% of a team worth $3Billion is actually HUGE discount. You can't do basic maths if you think they got screwed. You do know that money loses value everyday so the initial cost should be adjusted at least by inflation. This is an associate for A rod so it is actually a good situation. They are really NOT little kids. They get to put 40% of the increase in value and this helps their credit rating,

@danielkerber8667 Ай бұрын

I know. People don't understand they basically got an agreement to purchase the team allowed them to float essentially 0 dollar loans with the agreement being in place which allowed money to be used elsewhere then when the value of the team blew up Taylor went oops that was dumb of me, oh wait I can try to get more out of them and if it fails, well nothing ventured nothing gained and that is where we are at right now. Taylor did them a solid on the original deal, then saw the value skyrocket and went well, fuck I left a billion on the table, lets see if I can get that. Taylor is NOT a smart businessman. People confuse brains with opportunity. Sometimes in business it isn't how smart you are, just taking advantage of opportunities when they happen.

It's not called a DEADLINE for nothing.

Happens all the time with people leasing to own a home because at some point things go bad and the buyer can't make the payments and the deal is broken so it's try again or go elsewhere and try to do it differently.
