Where? On a scrap of ancient stationary, written by Glen, with a quill dipped in lasagne sauce? Glen may wear the controlling interest pants in public but we all know Becky runs that household!

Here's the other thing that's funny, for all the talk about keeping this behind the scenes Alex and Marc claimed they wanted to do, they have done the complete opposite every step of the way. If they were confident in their position there wouldn't need to be this dick wagging contest for fans. And no one has tried to make this more about himself than A-Rod. Marc at least has kind of that resting rich guy blank face, generally pleasant, but there's nothing there in terms of human interaction. At this point I could be a lawyer at Wachtell if their plan is to just throw poop everywhere. There are some big things they could pull PR wise, but why escalate, and it's not going to impact the outcome. All it really does is activate The Horde in a pernicious manner. It's my personal belief they will eat their own offspring if further mislead. Wasn't it Glen who brought the "lack of funding" stuff out first? And then brought out the "they're going to slash payroll?" And the potential "they might move the team" report? They've been equally guilty of leaks to the media, but I would have to say that Glen was first in bringing it to the public forum. I just don't think he realizes he's up against a team that is better at PR spin than him, tbh.

To me the lesson is none of this matters at all. Team doesn't care, Ant Man didn't even know who A-Rod was. 50 Cent for some reason called us the pride of Minnesota? Not too mention he got crushed by Ye in that head to head. That's what we need, Glen needs to get Ye or Hammer courtside!
I guess it's entertaining fodder between games, we can stir it all we want but it's still poo.

The one thing that still doesn't make sense to me is the timeline. Now it's coming out that it was Taylor who wanted the 2 year thing. OK, but were there provisons to block prepayment? LoRod has said they would have paid up front. OK, why not then pay early on each tranche? They're saying they had the funding even back to the beginning so then why not do it as early as possibly allowed? Especially this last tranche that would have made them majority owners. Sure, they were following the deadlines of the contract, but if I had things line up and could get the keys to my new car sooner, why not get it done? I guess my point is that while I think Glen is a snake, I would have pushing to finalize my majority stake ASAP so that I could play with my new toy. Because rich people never pay early. They're always trying to maximize every dollar.If they actually hit every deadline, there should be no problem. If they didn't, they need to fire (and potentially sue) their lawyers. That is exactly right. AND, they always want to use "other peoples money". They want to have as little cash in the deal as possible. It's just smart.

If they didn't, they need to fire (and potentially sue) their lawyers. I agree that it's not financially advantageous to pay early going from 20 to 40 percent, but this last round where you become the controlling partner is fundamentally different as the timing changes your position. You're not paying early if the payment actually gets you something you don't have. Or, better stated, the prepayment actually gives you something of benefit. I think what you are missing is GLEN wanted it to be done over a 3 year period. There was no pay early scenario.
Lo/Rod went along with it because that was the only way to do the deal.

Becky was always considered the prettiest girl in Mankato.
A close buddy of mine grew up in Mankato and his dad was friends with Taylor.

I just don't think he realizes he's up against a team that is better at PR spin than him, tbh. Glen dropped the Carlyle tidbit fo sho, but that was true. The do they have money do they not was sort of a misframe, which by the way might have come from local media broke boys comments, but it wasn't about whether or not Lore could get the money it's did he have it lined up in time for this deal to go through. Glen mentioned Lore spending all his time on Wonder, which may or may not have been relevant, but it does seem like if Lore prioritized this they would have got it to the finish line. Glen might not have even had a specific set of days he's allowed (although good question, is it a 30 day window), or would they have something vague like reasonable amount of time for his side to review, maybe that's where the interpretation comes in? Which I guess you'd look at similar deals/precedent. Doesn't matter who's idea it was for the gradual deal, doesn't matter why it was nixed. All that matters is did they have their money lined up and approved by ownership in time. Which again, notice Lore and A-Rod are throwing out 1000 things, everything but the one piece of info that would resolve this in their favor, that if they had, there's no need for all the noise. Logan and Glen don't give a bleep about PR junk, all they do is win. You don't think I wouldn't rather have The Fonz come in and takeover? Of course I would, I just think these guys messed up. If this had happened over a shorter period, or it was just a business deal that fell apart, there'd be no story. I will kiss whoever's ass I need to kiss get to get access to that new bathroom/men's lounge.

Their comments about not reading the contract, and that it should be about the spirit of the deal is a very big red flag if that's who you're rooting for.

AI still lags well behind Wolves blog, but continues to make lawyers look slower than molasses. How long is their lunch? Are we getting billed for that?

Do either A-Rod or Lore own homes in Seattle or Vegas?

Loss of expansion money does not. Well it's not either or. Expansion could happen anywhere from five to ten years from now. I mean Hornets moved to New Orleans, then became the Pelicans, while Bobcats became the Hornets again. Expansion in Minnesota, versus Vegas or Seattle makes no difference to the other 30 owners. Personally I don't think expansion doesn't make sense. We need two more Wizards teams to play 82 games?

I would get moving a bad market maybe New Orleans to Seattle though. Whatever team is deemed worst market. That makes way more sense than adding more bottom feeders.

I wasnt aware btw that Rudy got voted "most overrated". I would hope the whole team would take offense to that and try to prove everyone wrong for Rudy's sake. I had heard this before but never thought it was true until he's on your team: you will never know how valuable Rudy is until he's on your team and you see all the little things he does that have no stats. Like the "Neverminds, etc". Hell, "I'm" offended that he got most overrated! Good read: www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/40002092/nba-playoffs-2024-why-do-many-players-beef-rudy-gobert
