    Alex Rodriguez Looking To Buy The Timberwolves

    Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez and friend Marc Lore, the former president and CEO of Walmart U.S. eCommerce, are negotiating to become the next owners of the Timberwolves.

    The two have signed a letter of intent and are currently negotiating with Timberwolves majority owner Glen Taylor during a 30-day window, according to The Athletic's Jon Krawczynski. The two would serve as limited partners for the next two-and-a-half years before taking control of the team if a deal were to get done. Taylor would serve as a mentor for the two new owners.

    "We look forward to entering this phase of the process with Glen Taylor," Rodriguez and Lore said in a statement. "Our respect for him [Taylor] and the legacy he has built lays an amazing foundation for what is to come. We are excited by the prospect of getting to know the Timberwolves organization, the talented team, and their incredible fans."

    Lore and Rodriguez would reportedly be 50–50 partners in the arrangement, according to The Athletic. The partners and Lore have also already agreed in an estimation of the franchise at $1.5 billion.

    Lore and Rodriguez are longtime friends and business partners. Just last year the two attempted to purchase the Mets before Steve Cohen was able to secure the team.

    A-Rod is doing what I do when I go through a breakup only instead of purchasing an NBA team, I post a passive aggressive quote on my Instagram story.

    Probably Las Vegas because they have the juice.

    Seattle deserved a break after the Sonics fiasco,
    but after the "Summer Of Hate 2020" Seattle is undeserving.
    Look around the city--who would want to relocate to urban decay?

    I hope they do not listen to anything from Glen Taylor. His only concern is making money!

    He made good $$ on printing but lost his ass lately betting on Minnesota

    Half our fortune 500s are done

    Star Trib is dead

    Wolves are dead

    Mpls real estate in commercial properties is about 60% value what it was 5 years ago yet property taxes have nearly gone up 25%

    Add to it city mandated min wage and you'll see why half the bars in warehouse district are gone for good along w all of block e and most of uptown
