https://reurl.cc/V3gleb Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor has signed an exclusive letter of intent regarding the purchase of the Timberwolves and Lynx franchises with former major league baseball star Alex Rodriguez and e-commerce maven Marc Lore, a team spokesperson confirmed Saturday. 針對前大聯盟球星 Alex Rodriguez 以及電子商務專家 Marc Lore 購買灰狼 隊以及山貓隊，Glen Taylor 已經簽署獨家意向書。 Taylor and the Lore/Rodriguez team have reportedly agreed on a $1.5 billion valuation for the franchise, according to reports from ESPN and the Athletic. The two sides now enter a 30-day negotiating window. 據報導指出，Taylor 和 Lore/Rodriguez 為首的團隊達成15億鎂估價，現在 雙方進入30天協商期。 --- 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. 根據 Taylor 的說法，Rodriguez 和 Lore 本週一將在明州參觀球隊設施以 及與隊職員見面。之後，他們將有30天的時間，整理必要的書面資料遞交給 NBA。聯盟將進行審查，隨後期望遞交給理事會尋求批准。 Taylor purchased the NBA franchise for $88 million in 1994 and added the WNBA’s Lynx in 1999. Taylor 在1994年以8.8百萬鎂購入這支NBA球隊，並於1999年再買下WNBA的山 貓隊。 --- 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 擔任過多家電子商務公司的總裁和執行長，今年一月從沃爾瑪美國電子 商務(Walmart U.S. eCommerce)全職總裁兼執行長的位置退下，但仍持續提 供公司意見。 --- 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 也感激對方提議他能持續運作這支球隊。直到 Rodriguez 和 Lore 於2023年接手。Taylor 能協助他們習慣NBA的工作，與其他隊伍老闆會面， 和參與其他會議。在承擔全部責任前，Taylor 和新團隊可以針對想法進行合 作，深入參與運動組織的運作。 --- Taylor said the team will remain in Minnesota. “We’ll have that protected,” he said. Taylor 表示球隊將留在明州。 === 不曉得這次是否又有變數，Taylor 這幾年好幾次說要賣，但也好幾次反悔。 --
