The feud between Alex Rodriguez and\u00a0Glen Taylor over ownership of the Timberwolves won\u2019t be resolved by hugging it out.<\/p>\n
Taylor, the owner who was on the verge of selling the NBA franchise to Rodriguez and partner Marc Lore before calling off the deal, tried to hug the Yankees great at a playoff game but was rebuffed, according to The Athletic.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
Taylor reportedly tried to greet Rodriguez and Lore multiple times throughout the playoffs, even amid an ownership fight.<\/p>\n
Taylor, 83, agreed to sell his majority ownership stake in the Timberwolves to Rodriguez and Lore \u2014 the former CEO of Walmart \u2014 in 2021. <\/p>\n
The plan called for a three-year succession plan ending in 2024.<\/p>\n
But Taylor announced earlier this year that the Timberwolves were no longer for sale. <\/p>\n
He said Lore and Rodriguez missed a payment deadline in the purchase agreement, which the two would-be buyers have denied.<\/p>\n
Of course, it just so happens that Taylor backed out of the agreement during the Timberwolves\u2019 best season in 20 years. <\/p>\n
Led by burgeoning superstar Anthony Edwards and All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns, the Timberwolves won 56 regular-season games and advanced to the Western Conference Finals \u2014 both firsts since 2003-04.<\/p>\n
A three-person arbitration panel has been formed to review the contract and determine ownership, according to The Athletic. <\/p>\n
The unsettled dispute could cost the Timberwolves their president of basketball operations, Tim Connelly, who was recruited away from the Nuggets by Rodriguez and Lore.<\/p>\n
The Timberwolves\u2019 roster is at a crossroads as salaries for key players threaten to take them over the luxury tax.<\/p>\n
Rodriguez has been acting like an involved\u00a0owner-in-waiting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was waiting at the tunnel to hug Timberwolves players after their season-prolonging Game 4 win against the Mavericks, sharing a video of the interactions on Instagram with the caption \u201cNever give up, never surrender!\u201d <\/p>\n
But the Timberwolves couldn\u2019t overcome a 3-0 series deficit \u2014 as the Red Sox once famously did to A-Rod\u2019s 2004 Yankees \u2014 and their season ended with a Game 5 loss.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat a season!\u201d Rodriguez wrote afterward. \u201cHard fought with grit and heart.\u00a0I\u2019m so proud of our team, this organization, and our incredible fans. Thank you for the passion. We\u2019ll be back!<\/p>\n
\u201cOur\u201d and \u201cwe.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is still to be determined if that\u2019ll be the case going forward.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
