https://tinyurl.com/y47ccv9b Fans hoping the ownership dispute for majority control of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx would resolve before the conclusion of the current WNBA season and the start of the upcoming NBA season might be disappointed. 明尼苏达灰狼队与山猫队的主要控股纠纷，恐怕无法在现行WNBA赛季结束 前及下个NBA赛季开打前落幕。 An arbitration hearing that would essentially settle the dispute between the minority owners, business partners Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez, and the principal owner, Glen Taylor, will begin early November — shortly after the NBA season tips off — people with knowledge of the matter told the Star Tribune. 据 Star Tribune 了解，解决小股东 Marc Lore、Alex Rodriguez与主要 股东 Glen Taylor 之间争议的仲裁听证会，将在NBA新赛季开打後不久的 11月初展开。 The hearing should last a week, with the ruling from a three-member arbitration panel coming within 30 days. A mediation hearing May 1 failed to resolve the dispute, automatically moving the issue to arbitration, a binding procedure for settling private disputes outside of court. 听证会预计持续一周，由三位仲裁员组成的仲裁小组将在30天内做出裁决。 5月1日的调解听证会未能解决争议，自动将争议移交至仲裁，这是法院外具 约束力以解决私人争议的程序。 The arbitration must finish within six months and take place in Minneapolis, according to the contract between Purple Buyer Holdings LLC, the company Lore and Rodriguez own, and Taylor Sports Group, a company Taylor owns. Taylor also owns the Star Tribune. 根据 Lore 和 A-Rod 所属公司 Purple Buyer Holdings LLC 与 Taylor所 属公司 Taylor Sports Group 之间的合约，仲裁必须在六个月内完成，并 在明州举行。Taylor 同时也拥有 Star Tribune。 Lore and Rodriguez were to make their third and final installment of a $1.5 billion payment to Taylor for the teams by March 27, giving them 80% ownership of the franchises. The next day, Taylor said in a statement the acquisition option had expired because Lore and Rodriguez missed the deadline. Lore 和 A-Rod 原定於3月27日前支付15亿美元中的第三笔也是最後一笔款 项给 Taylor，取得球团80%的所有权。但 Taylor 於隔天发表声明表示，由 於 Lore 和 A-Rod 未能在期限内完成付款，收购权已失效。 Lore, a billionaire tech entrepreneur, and Rodriguez, a former baseball star-turned-investor, said they secured the necessary funding for the deal and submitted the paperwork to the NBA on time. That then extends the deadline 90 days, they said, if the sides are awaiting league approval to finish the acquisition. Lore 和A-Rod 则表示，他们已为交易筹措必要资金，并及时向NBA提交文件 。他们认为如果双方正在等待联盟批准收购，则截止期限应延长90天。 The arbitration panel could rule in Taylor's favor, determining he was allowed to say the team was no longer for sale. The panel could also rule Lore and Rodriguez qualified for a 90-day extension, and Taylor must sell them the team or pay monetary damages. 仲裁小组可能裁定 Taylor 胜诉，认为他有权宣布球队不再出售。仲裁小组 也可能裁定 Lore 和 A-Rod 符合90天的延期条件，Taylor 必须将球队卖给 他们或支付损害赔偿。 Lore and Rodriguez currently own 36% of the franchises, with limited partners owning the other 4%. If Lore and Rodriguez win the arbitration battle, they still would have to complete the NBA's approval process, but a decision in their favor would likely expedite the ownership transfer process. Lore 和 A-Rod 目前拥有球队36%的股权，其他4%由有限合夥人持有。如果 Lore 和 A-Rod 赢得仲裁，仍需完成NBA的批准程序，但对他们有利的裁决 可能会加速所有权转让流程。 Since Taylor agreed to the deal in 2021, the teams' collective value has reportedly risen 87% from $1.57 billion to $2.9 billion. 自从 Taylor 在2021年同意出售球队以来，两支球队的总价值已上涨了87%， 从15.7亿美元成长至29亿美元。 --- 简短来说 -仲裁听证会将於11月初举行，预计持续一周。 -争议核心在於少数股东是否符合收购球队的最後期限。 -少数股东认为已筹足资金并提交必要文件，延迟期限至90天。 -仲裁结果将决定球队最终所有权归属。 -球队价值在近几年大幅上涨，目前预估达29亿美元。 --
