The majority of Timberwolves fans were relieved, as well as excited, when the sale of the team was finally finalized. Glen Taylor, who had owned the team since 1994, was handing over the team to Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore. It wasn’t a smooth process as Taylor refused to hand it over cleanly.
Much of Taylor’s tenure with Minnesota consisted of non-winning teams, and he often blamed others for the team's problems. He also has a long-standing beef with the franchise’s best player of all-time, Kevin Garnett. It got to the point where Garnett even called Taylor "a snake".
