The two sides now enter a 30-day negotiating window. 据报导指出，Taylor 和 Lore/Rodriguez 为首的团队达成15亿镁估价，现在 双方进入30天协商期。 --- Taylor said Rodriguez and Lore will be in Minneapolis on Monday and will receive a tour of the facilities and meet with team employees. After that, they’ll have 30 days to get the requisite paperwork together to send to the NBA. The league will go through that paperwork, and the hope is Rodriguez and Lore will then go before the Board of Governors for approval. 根据 Taylor 的说法，Rodriguez 和 Lore 本周一将在明州参观球队设施以 及与队职员见面。之後，他们将有30天的时间，整理必要的书面资料递交给 NBA。联盟将进行审查，随後期望递交给理事会寻求批准。 Taylor purchased the NBA franchise for $88 million in 1994 and added the WNBA’s Lynx in 1999. Taylor 在1994年以8.8百万镁购入这支NBA球队，并於1999年再买下WNBA的山 猫队。 --- Lore has been the president and CEO of multiple e-commerce companies, ranging from Jet.com to Quidsi. Most recently, he was the president and CEO of Walmart U.S. eCommerce. He left that position on a full-time basis in January, though he still reportedly advises the company. Lore 担任过多家电子商务公司的总裁和执行长，今年一月从沃尔玛美国电子 商务(Walmart U.S. eCommerce)全职总裁兼执行长的位置退下，但仍持续提 供公司意见。 --- Taylor also appreciated the offer to continue to run the team for the next couple of years before Rodriguez and Lore take control in 2023. From now until then, the two partners can learn under the Wolves’ current owner. Taylor can get them acclimated to working with the NBA, meeting other owners and attending meetings. They can also collaborate on ideas and go inside the process of running a sports organization before taking sole responsibility. Taylor 也感激对方提议他能持续运作这支球队。直到 Rodriguez 和 Lore 於2023年接手。Taylor 能协助他们习惯NBA的工作，与其他队伍老板会面， 和参与其他会议。在承担全部责任前，Taylor 和新团队可以针对想法进行合 作，深入参与运动组织的运作。 --- Taylor said the team will remain in Minnesota. “We’ll have that protected,” he said. Taylor 表示球队将留在明州。 === 不晓得这次是否又有变数，Taylor 这几年好几次说要卖，但也好几次反悔。 --
