Alex Rodriguez already wants to move the Timberwolves to Seattle, and he doesn’t even own the team yet. According to the fine print of the recently-signed deal, the $1.5 billion sale doesn’t requiring the team to stay in Minnesota.

Now we have a lawsuit:

Meyer Orbach, the second largest shareholder of the Timberwolves, filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court alleging that majority owner, Glen Taylor and future owner Alex Rodriguez were violating the franchise’s partnership agreement.

I hope it happens, Seattle needs a team bad, been way to long for that city to go without a team.

I hope Seattle gets a team but not at the expense of the Timberwolves

Minnesota has been bad for the majority of when it came into the league. Things have looked bleak at the top of the organization for years. Since McHale, they have had 7 different GMs and 7 different Head Coaches in the last 13 years. No organization can go through that and have a chance of winning. Am sure the 2009 NBA Draft is still haunting them. Picking Rubio and Flynn back to back at 5 and 6 while Curry goes 7 to Warriors and DeRozan goes 9 to Raptors. I want to see them eventually turn it around and Sonics back as well. Winning really does cure it all......ask the smallest NBA market team in the Spurs.

The only time Minnesota was exciting was with Kevin Garnett. The team's best players always win more when they leave...ask KG, Kevin Love, Jimmy Butler.

I say this with sadness as I was born in MN and have always wanted the basketball team to have more success than it has.

You actually just made my point about no stability at the top. Garnett is the only franchise player on the team that has stayed for the long haul. The Timberwolves have barely had any type of All-Star/franchise player stay longer than 5 years with the franchise let alone have a franchise player. Throw in horrible trades and drafts routinely you won't ever get stability. They missed on top 10 1st round picks routinely, traded away 1st round picks for garbage players, etc.

Garnett played for 10 years with the T-Wolves than Love at 5 years. They had a few players like Szczerbiak and Mitchell that stuck around but very average role players. They have a very young team now in a strong Western Conference. No 1st Round pick this year and are stuck unless they trade away future picks and a young player. (which they have done to much)

Pains me to see they could have drafted Curry when they drafted two point guards right before him. They drafted Ray Allen #5 and than traded him and a 1st Rounder for the #4 pick Marbury. T-Wolves are like a car wreck and I can't look away

Glen Taylors partners had a clause in their contract that keeps any new owners from moving the team out of Minnesota. Now that Glen is gone, maybe the Timberwolves can get better management.
