Update on the A-Rod, Marc Lore and Glen Taylor Drama
If you've been following along with Chuddy's Corner on the whole A-Rod/Lore/Glen/Timberwolves situation (which I'm sure you have), you'll be happy to hear that The Athletic came out with a story the other day giving some additional insight with many interesting nuggets. I suggest reading the entire article, but if you only have a minute to catch up, here is a little primer:
This big ol' showdown happening over who's gonna own the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Lynx is getting messy. Glen Taylor, the current owner, is squabbling with Marc Lore and A-Rod over the whole deal.
It's like this: Lore and A-Rod had this fancy vision for the team, including sprucing up the place with a swanky private suite at the Target Center. But Taylor wasn't feeling it. He thought it was all too flashy and didn't jive with his down-to-earth style.
Anyway, after years of working together, things went south. Taylor says Lore and A-Rod missed deadlines and botched the paperwork, so he's calling the whole thing off. But Lore and A-Rod are like, "Hold up, we did everything right, and we've got the cash ready to roll."
Now they're at each other's throats, flinging accusations left and right. Taylor's saying it's just business, but Lore and A-Rod are crying foul, accusing him of getting cold feet because the team's value shot up.
Meanwhile, the Timberwolves are actually doing pretty well on the court, but all this drama's stealing the spotlight. It's like a reality TV show meets a legal drama, with no end in sight.
They're supposed to settle things with mediation and arbitration, but who knows how long that'll take? In the meantime, the fans just wanna see some basketball without all this ownership drama hogging the headlines.
