No in these mid sized markets they trade away assets.These guys don't buy teams to count pennies unless they are MLB where it pays to do it. It is all about ego.
Yup that's a done deal.glen taylor worth 2.4 billion
phil knight worth over 40 billion
isn't Glen selling to Arod?
Glen Taylor has $0 debtbut sounds like he was one of the poorest NBA owners
You can't really buy a title in Minnesota. You have to build one and that is pretty much going to be by accident. It is not easy to win in Minnesota. So he played it pretty smart. If he had a reasonable chance, he might have done something. Which is not to say, he did not try that hard. That is pretty much how you have to operate. Most owners are just going to try to make money and will take a loss if they really have a shot.Yup that's a done deal.
What I meant was Taylor bought the club in the mid 90s and has been sitting on BILLIONS of net worth & hundreds of millions in cash flow, but never took the steps to "buy" a title.
Always a lower seed, always a seller at the deadline, never making moves except 1 year w Cassel, Sprewell, Smith.
Seems like the way Seattle was run, Portland, Chicago, Utah, etc.
Need more guys like Phx, Cle, Bos, etc that try to buy titles when they have a stud that they can surround
I dont know Bond, can't really recall the T'Wolves going all in with KG there always thought it was a waste of talent.You can't really buy a title in Minnesota.

Word and not like Joe Smith was a game changer. They did get to the Western Conference finals, can't recall if it was that same year thoughExactly
1 year, 04, they bought Spree & Cassel & Joe Smith.
Then Spree said he couldn't feed his kids on $15mm and it was over
