Has to be the wildest thing I’ve heard yet on this saga. But it’s just amazing how much a couple smart trades and intense work from the guys on the court can change. To the tune of billions, apparently

There really is people shilling for Glen Taylor on Twitter right now. Think of how quickly things have improved with them and then think of wanting to go backwards to the safety of Glen Taylor.
I never understood how important hood ownership was before Lore and Arod. I thought owners were just exorbitantly rich people who really enjoy the sport and also see the team as just another investment in their portfolio.
As it turns out, in just a couple seasons of having GOOD owners advocate for the team, we saw the domino effect of how going after Tim Conelly (someone Glen thought wasn’t worth the time to recruit) has dramatically improved the team. Not only did TC put together the Rudy trade, but Glen would have vetoed it whereas Lore and Arod pushed for it to happen. TC trading DLo for Mike and NAW is insane value and we would definitely be a lot closer to the Play-In than the #1 seed.
In just a couple of years, these new good owners have helped bring this franchise out of its perpetual darkness and now Glen shuts them out completely. It’s so unfair and it just goes to show how the past 20 years were not just the Wolves getting unlucky. Glen made bad hires as part of his good old boy club which has held this franchise down for decades.
Knowing now the devastating impact he’s had on this franchise and the fact that now he’s trying to pull the rug out when we finally crossed over to the winning side is making me truly hate this man.
Lore and Rodriguez still own like 40%. The only reason Taylor wouldn’t let them in is because he knows he’s wrong and will be facing an inevitable legal battle.
Truly astounding that Taylor would put the fans and organization through this.
