Updates on Karl-Anthony Towns + Minnesota Timberwolves ownership situation

[@mullen25]

any time i hear "and doogie said" regarding wolves ownership saga I roll my eyes.

[@jgberzerker]

Glen is one of the worst owners in professional sports. He may know how to run a newspaper, he has no idea how to run a sports franchise. What’s worse, he doesn’t seem to know he’s not good at this.

[@samchristian37]

He’s oblivious to everything! It’s insane!

[@patrickmeister44]

Funny ...when doogie aint around ...you guys absolutely roast taylor 😂😂

[@RJLKMRD]

Everyone forgets that Glen gave Kevin Garnett the biggest contract in NBA history at the time.. I trust Glen but I also know there's nothing that he can do to ruin the Wolves because of Anthony Edwards

[@spol]

don't underestimate glen

[@lanah2979]

Good show. But missed the elephant in the room. Mike Conley. He'll need to reduce his regular season minutes so he's healthy for next year's playoffs. Gonna need a guy that can replace his attributes and be a consistent 3 point weapon. If done correctly, could you imagine having a very healthy Conley coming off the bench in next year's playoffs? Would be a nice position to be in.

[@samchristian37]

I agree and that should be our first priority: finding a PG to help Conley

[@alonsom254]

Clark should be back from injury to help, he is 6'5 and the best defensive player in the NCAA

[@nateclark2731]

I like the Conley coming off the bench idea.

[@heatheischens9782]

I wish one of you guys would finally call out Doogie for drooling all over Glen being the owner of the future. It's disgusting

[@RayofSunshine5519]

At least Glen didn’t make his fortune lying and cheating like flimflam A-Roid.

[@WheresWaldo05]

When you hear crickets is when moves get made. There were absolute crickets before Gobert until the like the day before. When i see rumors floating that is when i know nothing happens and games are being played through the media for whatever motivations teams may have by stating such rumors.

[@tallen651]

First, NBA owners will turn on Glen to get connected with Michael Bloomberg in a nanosecond. Second, if Glen didn't think he could get someone as good as TC, he certainly must think highly of him now and would keep him. However, Rosas did as much for the Wolves with the draft and hiring of Finch as TC has. Lastly, I don't think that the Target Center is that bad, better than the Celtics arena, which i have been to and is much newer. Just remember, new stadiums mean less availability for the average fan to go to games. Glen wanted out and he should stay with that. No one is moving the Wolves until at least two new franchises are created and the rest of the NBA get their cut. With or without a new stadium that will be the case.

[@richborn6700]

idk if teams will move again. It's been almost 15 years since the Sonics moved to OKC and that still has some lingering distaste in the league. It's better to start whole cloth and start over

[@OverEast34]

I live in Boston and think TD garden is nicer than Target Center. The concourses are wider, there’s an obvious middle level of seating, and the area around it is really well built up with a food hall, bars, and restaurants. A new Target Center like that would be awesome.

[@jeffe2222]

I think the other owners like Glen BECAUSE he's a snake. Birds of a feather.

[@drewengel7073]

We all think that the only options for relocation are Seattle or Las Vegas. I think a true threat is them moving to Vancouver. The NBA badly wants to keep the Timberwolves in the West (something that currently is logistically impossible, as the Wolves travel way more miles than any other team in the NBA) and wants to expand Basketball in Canada, a Vancouver move is perfect for them.

[@OverEast34]

@@drewengel7073 a team in Vancouver just means more late start games for the rest of the country, plus you’ll already have two additional teams in the west with Vegas and Seattle.

[@lucasduarte3210]

You guys are worried because you give Doogie credit. I’m not worried because I don’t

[@stuyfly]

As a Minnesota sports fan who just started paying attention to the timberwolves last season and has absolutely no idea on NBA roster building, could Luka Garza be a impact player next year? Is 4 bigs too many? Does he need more experience?

[@adampepin9944]

No. Can't play defense.

[@WheresWaldo05]

Ah. A bandwagoner. Get lost.

[@richborn6700]

It really says ALOT about the journalistic integrity of this channel that Dane Moore consistently rotates Chris Hines, Jace Fredrick, and Britt Robson on HIS podcast, but y'all only ever have Doogie.

[@dajuice7030]

Well according to Doogie (Glen’s puppet boy) anyone could of made the move Conely has made for this team.

[@RayofSunshine5519]

According to Dane, A-Roids puppet boy…..

[@jeffreyreed9348]

Wasn't the new owner group planning to slash the roster for cost concerns? Go Wolves! :)

Shush doogie

[@randallbockoven3635]

Start a petition, I will sign to get Glen out of office forever

[@eternalvernal1286]

Glenn Taylor now understands that people will come to Minnesota. He's not stupid and a lot has changed. I'm sure he tried to get GM's before and they wouldn't come that's why he said that he couldn't get Connley initially. That was a terrible way to think but he won't do it again Im guessing. He's not an idiot, he's a billionaire. He also understands that the Timberwolves are a top contender in the NBA and that a lot of people will come now. To be honest the more I think about it your argument simply don't make sense. I understand his track record but he did hand over the keys to A-Rod right away and didnt have to. Basically he's smart enough to understand now that other people can do it better than he can. I honestly believe that Glenn Taylor is the best option because he loves the Timberwolves and will do what's right in the end for the Timberwolves. Isnt that what matters most?

[@eternalvernal1286]

6:42...If you think Glen Taylor cares about his reputation might it be possible that he understands that and wants to correct it by going over the luxery tax just to prove that he will. It would actually salvage a lot of his reputation. I'm positive that he knows that if he doesn't spend the money to keep this team good that is reputation will be ruined forever. I'm willing to bet he's not going to do that and that the bare minimum keep everything the same I'm going to the luxury tax which would be just fine going into next season. I say keep Taylor. There's absolutely no chance that they will move out of Minnesota either which is priority #1 for me and should be for all Timberwolves fans. That and I don't trust A-Rod at all. Neither should anyone.

[@debrakraft4818]

I am just saying, it's beginning to look embarrassing for sports teams that are not bringing home the bacon or if you are a vegetarian bringing home the carrots.😮

[@StillKeepOnLosing]

Know what's embarrassing? Thinking a little ant is MJ.... lmfao.

[@adampepin9944]

I'm not sure why the Board of Governors wouldn't approve of the sale outside of they well know that Taylor is a buffoon and understand that the Wolves will go back to being a floor mat in the future.

[@RayofSunshine5519]

Maybe because they’re smart enough NOT to fall for A-Roid and his empty flimflam promises? A guy whose whole career was about cheating and lying.

[@Dilemina]

Thanks for 10 minutes on the bathrooms that the Press uses at Target Center. 😅 Dallas and Boston must have phenominal bathrooms.🤑

[@shavis001]

Phenomenal Mr. Press ;)

[@MatthewSchilken]

if you want to send me on a rant, say something to me like " I don't have a side in the ownership battle, they are just rich guys fighting" - you totally miss the point of what a dumpster fire of an owner Taylor has been!

[@Zoroark278]

I hope if Glen wins this Bloomberg makes a ownership bid buys the team from Glen then sells the team to A-Rod and Marc and they start plans for a new stadium the wolves are gone in 5 years if Glen is owner

[@tylerkaiser637]

If Glen taylor remains owner, is he just going to find another buyer for the money they're worth now?

[@RayofSunshine5519]

Hopefully

[@lynnkirk396]

Glen sounds like a Red mcCombs to me! some how the timber wolves need a family ownership like the wilfs what do you all think?

[@debrakraft4818]

The Twins did win two world seares

[@musicksol]

[@CoachSiar617]

Randle Bojan Rokas wash protected 25 first and Bucks 25 first for Kat. You aren't getting a better deal and if you wait till next off-season when he's making 60 MIL you will uave no suitors

[@samchristian37]

Knowing that Glen Taylor can keep the team stresses me out. Mark my words if Taylor keeps the team, all of the success we are experiencing will crumble before our eyes. Tim Connelly WILL LEAVE! He exercised his option for one more year to see what happens with ownership. Ant will probably eventually leave if there’s no structure in the front office or if we can’t find a competent GM to run the show (let’s not forget he hired David Kahn) I understand I’m overreacting but as a life long Wolves fan, I’m so done with Taylor. Enough is enough!

[@RJLKMRD]

Good, let overrated Tim Connelly leave.. there's nothing Glen Taylor can do anymore....Anthony Edwards is controlling this team.....

[@samchristian37]

@@RJLKMRD you mean the same Connelly that traded for NAW, Gobert and Conley and was responsible for assembling the team that went to the WCF? We can’t be talking about the same guy

[@RJLKMRD]

@@samchristian37 please tell me how you think this man has done better than the prior gm Rosas.... my opinion is that we had the pieces going into the 2022 year right before Tim came on board, we had the pieces, then suddenly and without warning, Tim came in and didn't consult with Anthony Edwards before doing his Utah Jazz to the Utah Wolves Gobert (in haste) trade gutting so much of our roster and so much of our resources for a man who struggles to shoot and who frankly has proved incapable of guarding not only Jokic but also Luka Doncic... But Tim had decided to do it his way a long long time ago and threw us back years because of those first round picks he gave up, that's how I see this, we could have been in the Western Conference finals one year prior to this year's trip.... Tell me how I'm wrong.... Please..... Put me out of my misery, @samchristian73... We won 46 games the year before Tim comes on board.... We should have won that series against the Mavs this year and everyone knows it......Tim stubbornly refused to make any moves last offseason despite so many wanting Towns traded, then "Idiot Wind" Tim goes into last season stating he is "stubbornly optimistic", we have probably the best player in the entire NBA on our team now and despite being only 22 y.o.a. this year, we could have won it this year with "him".. But when Tim came here, he thought of KAT first, not "him" and so in haste, immediately upon hire by (Rodriguez and Lore - I was initially stunned we terminated Rosas), he decides to try to make it nice for KAT instead of Edwards by gutting our offensive core to the brink to bring in Gobert.... All because KAT had lapses defensively (for defensive liability purposes), and then of course, who's the better defender against Jokic this year, shockingly, KAT!!???....... I am not referring to you in general but I am so tired of our fanbase pedestaling this man Tim Connelly.... not a fan of how we could have possibly gone about configuring this roster the way we did so that Edwards had no Malik Beasley to fall back on, no Taurean Prince to fall back on, no Walter Kessler....no other offense when we needed it against the Mavs..... So Tim was going to do well regardless of whatever he ended up doing because of Anthony Edwards.... To me, he's been a mediocre GM at best, Sam, I would say he's done a poor to mediocre job as our GM, to me, Anthony Edwards controls Tim Connelly now, maybe the only thing Tim knew would give him job security is getting Ant signed here....the Russell for Conley + NAW is the only move Tim has made I've really thought was any good and I feel like any good GM would have made that move... We have no idea about Dayshen Nix or Miller or anyone else because they're not getting any playing time.... I don't think Tim deserves half the credit he has gotten.... Call me a poor sport... Convince me otherwise, Sam, please kindly and thank you 🙏

[@samchristian37]

@@RJLKMRD Rosas is definitely the blueprint behind our success but you and I know that all it takes is a bad hire in the front office to mess up all progress. For Connelly to come in and build upon what Gersson started is remarkable. He sped up the success of our team rather than rebuild which is what Rosas was doing. You don’t have to consult any trade transactions with Ant who was 20 years old and 2nd year in the league. He wasn’t a star when we made those trades. You’re saying let Tim go as if we can easily find another good GM that can help us win and that’s not the case. We need to surround Edwards with a winning culture fast and trade those picks and put vets around him. This is a new league, they don’t wait four or five years for all the young kids to catch up to the speed of the league. These kids are coming in and contending immediately. F*ck a rebuild and picks, we are trying to win NOW!

[@RJLKMRD]

I agree with you that Glen Taylor overall has been an absolutely terrible owner... But I'm not worried about him wrecking the team..... I had read somewhere that he already knew of Anthony Edwards well before we drafted him and Taylor absolutely wanted Edwards on the Wolves more than anything, he was absolutely astounded by Anthony Edwards prior to our picking Ant number one, that's what I heard ... It would be best for Glen Taylor though to make up with Kevin Garnett and retire his jersey, he'll get political pressure too from everyone if he doesn't do it soon, Glen will have to conform to change if he does keep the team and I'm sure he will be continually pressured to sell, frankly I hope he sells to someone other than Rodriguez and Lore..

[@slow_Jo]

KAT won't be traded. They'll run it back and decide on KAT's future next offseason.

[@dw2367]

And again part of the reason they'll fall short. He's a playground phenom, which the legendary courts in cities have thousands of those types. Unless Ant/team can somehow cure him of his meltdowns, KAT's periodic meltdowns will continue to bring this team down. And as much as I like Gobert as glue for the team, his WAR just isn't enough - and his paddle hands being close to the basket and inability to convert, is an offensive liability. The big guys need to reliably convert.

[@CoachSiar617]

Next off-season at 60 million is too late

[@andrewgill6267]

Yeah but McDaniels and Leonard Miller (if they finally decide to start giving him minutes) are also gonna have leaps, especially McDaniels, if he can improve his shot, then I’m confident we will be fine for Ant having another guy to step up on nights Kat doesn’t. Miller is a guy I feel like they need to start playing more, he has a lot of potential and can shoot, defend, has a long frame and perfect build for a wing player. Plus he’s cheaper than going out and getting someone.

[@ronrubiin4956]

Couple years ago after the Atlanta series everyone wanted to move on from KAT. IMO they won't win a championship with Ant and KAT. Ant needs help.

[@farming4g]

I don't understand Taylor... is he going to work or own the team till the day he dies? He's almost like a politician at this point... I have not intention of ever working forever...

[@meandsushi]

Ant changed the culture more than anyone. Gersson Rosas had more to do with the team’s current success than Tim Connelly. Mackey’s take that A-Fraud and company changed the culture is moronic. I want new ownership but the A-Rod clown car is not it… Bring on the Wilfs.

[@pelicanhill3251]

I agree. The Connelly-worship by the local media is a little out of hand. KAT, ANT, McDaniels and Reid were all acquired before he arrived. Almost every player Connelly has acquired is over 30.

[@Dilemina]

Lol. Who knows what would have happened with D'Lo etc... not sure the team would be where it is now. Its been on an overall upward trajectory since Ant's arrival but it has not been super smooth. Btw, those over 30 year old players really filled needs.

[@pelicanhill3251]

@@Dilemina I'm not saying Connelly has been bad. He has definitely done a good job. They wouldn't have been in the conference finals without his moves. I just don't think he deserves as much credit as he's given. I realize those over 30 guys did well, but their age started to show in the playoffs, and, when your cornerstone player is 22, doesn't make sense to have key players that will be retired by the time the star is in his prime.

[@JakeBru3]

@@pelicanhill3251 Those key players helped get Ant to the WCF this year. There is no better experience for a 22 year old future superstar than to play in really important and big games when he's young. You don't want to waste his years in MN fighting for play in games so he wants to bolt. Show him you can win in MN and play in big games.

That target center is also terrible for not only games but also for concert/comedy shows, you are literally sitting straight up on top of people heads.
