    Why? Who would leak this shit right now on the cusp the most important post-season in wolves history?

  2. Connelly should have a lot of reasons to stay ($$$$), but obviously if he takes off that would be a huge red flag no matter how this ownership thing is settled.

    For those saying we are good now so ownership doesn’t matter, here ya go.

    Fuck me fuck me fuck me fuck me fuck me.

    Fuck me for being Minnesotan.

    I’ll walk away forever. Don’t love LoRod giving him an opt out the season they would be in control, especially after Taylor leaked them wanting to cut costs. Bezos, save us.

    Are you FUCKING JOKING.

    1. How stupid can they be to give him that

    2. Why the FUCK is it coming out right now. These people do not give 2 shits about this team. Its purely a status symbol.

    3. I just want to enjoy the season..and they are killing my joy

  7. EatSleepZlatan

    Damn they better make this run count then

    Especially with that gargoyle still in charge we might be fucked after this year

  8. We’re not actually allowed to enjoy this season, are we?

    I would not be concerned. Not a lot of good teams are seeking for a GM, and Connelly won’t go to a rebuilding team like Detroit or Charlotte. Washington could have happened since he is from there, but they already got a new GM.

    What the hell is even the point of leaking information like this?

  12. Majestic-Tie-9944

    This is nothing. I find it hard to believe that with how well the Wolves are doing he would just bail because of this. There is absolutely nothing that indicates Connelly has a problem with Glen Taylor. Plus if Woj is correct about ARod/Lore cutting back spending that is the last thing a GM wants to hear.

    Enjoy the ride of this season because it’s going to get messy beyond. The ownership squabble is going to have far reaching ramifications beyond the court.

  14. ChbbyKttns

    Well I guess it’s championship or bust this year because things are only going to get more unstable after this season 🙃

  15. Aggravating_Host6055

    See no reason to expect Connelly would leave that much money on the table. Shams looks like an alien.

  16. peezydeezy

    Connelly’s gonna walk and we’re gonna be stuck with Taylor aren’t we? Glen hiring terrible POBOs has been his worst trait as an owner. Kaaaaaaahn!

  17. Waste-Bee2793

    If Connelly had doubts about ownership paying the tax, it would make sense for him to insist on an opt-out the year that they would hit the tax. Could be a good thing. Leverage for making ownership (whichever party) pay the tax. 

    These leaks are dumb.

    If the Timberwolves don’t win the finals this season, they never will. I hope the players are ready

  19. trishowsky

    Yeah bro sounds about right. glen taylor u senile piece of shit just fuck off man

  20. zeldamaster702

    Why do politicians ALWAYS have to make things worse for the little guy?

    Glen, I know you’re never going to see this, and I know you were *PROBABLY* instrumental in keeping the team in MN in the early 90s and I appreciate you for that, but please, PLEASE, **GO THE FUCK AWAY**.

    Just when you feel we broke through with a Minnesota sports team, we get sucked back to hell.
