The Truth Behind This NBA-Owner Fight is INSANE

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.

[@buckybuck1820]

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.

No one can afford these teams anymore with their inflated value unless you have 10’s of billions of dollars and can afford to spend a few billion on a team to buy them outright

Lmaooo do you know how expensive these teams are nowadays. There are hardly any owners that can afford a team by themselves. & this is in every sport. Billionaires aren’t just lining up to buy teams bro

[@commodorezero]

I hate capitalism but the reason for ownership groups is more practical than agenda driven. Theres very few individuals who can afford pro sports teams by themselves and many of those aren't interested in sports. So borderline billionaires pooling their money together is really the only way owners can sell.

Short answer dude who owns 60% wins every time 🤷🏽

[@youthanasia007]

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

[@prodmoira]

​@KyleWatters71 yeah and it's like sure it does suck that they had the papers on adams desk when the deadline came but that's 100% on them. This isn't a school project it's a deal you've had set for 3 years.

[@TyTimeIsAwesome]

@@KyleWatters71 As a Wolves fan, that's very worrisome. Wolves are about to have 3 max player, and have to many extensions coming soon. With the new CBA, the 2nd Tax threshold is no joke. Can Marc and Alex really poney up the money to keep the team together?

[@philippculture489]

Yeah they fumbled it bad. But Glen Taylor ain't better. Just ask Kevin Garnett and other ex Wolves. Imagine what they could look like with an owner like Steve Ballmer who only wants to win no matter the cost..

[@TyTimeIsAwesome]

@@philippculture489 Yeap. Sucks for us fans all around. It's like...what's that old saying? Stuck between picking poop and something smelly.

[@sonicpentatonic]

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.

[@youthanasia007]

[@Steven-db3ix]

Only one who actually researched this at all. There should have been a guaranteed extension. I don’t see how Glenn gets out of this. I think it’s a ploy to maintain control of the team at least through the season in case they actually make a run.

Sheesh you have no clue what you're talking about. They did close on the deal. They filed the paperwork prior to the deadline expiring.

[@nothembajozi2862]

$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]

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. When you get involved in a oddly structured deal you need to meet all requirements you agreed to meet otherwise you lose the deal and everything you have put into it up to that point. 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.
