Wolves owner Glen Taylor's local ties saved professional basketball in Minnesota

If Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor finds a suitable buyer to meet his demands and his asking price for the club, it will end one of the most important pro sports tenures in state history.

The word from Taylor is that he wants to start getting his business profiles in order as he gets ready to turn 80 years old next year.

Yes, local geniuses are always quick to point out that the Wolves have had real struggles on the court, but the simple fact is there wouldn’t be a team on the court at all if it wasn’t for the great effort put forth by Taylor to purchase the franchise back in 1994 for $90 million.
