With Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor saying the team is no longer for sale after incoming owners Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore missed a payment that would have given them majority control of the franchise, I decided to dig in. I’ve spent several weeks talking to sources across the NBA — executives, Timberwolves employees, sports bankers, lawyers, etc. — and I discovered a pattern of mistrust over the last few years. So, today’s episode breaks it all down, including Glen Taylor’s ownership tenure, a financial transformation within the franchise, the fracturing of relationships, secret contract negotiations and much more. Enjoy!
