Cleveland blasts Wolves, A-Rod and Lore win owners arbitration

(Minneapolis, MN) — Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore are back on track in their quest to own the Minnesota Timberwolves. The pair won an arbitration case against current majority owner Glen Taylor on Monday. Taylor agreed to sell the Timberwolves to Lore and Rodriguez in 2021, but claimed that the pair failed to meet a payment deadline in March of 2024. However, the arbiters ruled that Lore and Rodriguez had satisfied all parameters of the deal and forced the sale to continue. They now have 90 days to make the final payment and receive approval from the N-B-A Board of Governors.
