Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore's ownership conflict with Glen Taylor heads to arbitration

NBA: Playoffs: Los Angeles Clippers at Minnesota Timberwolves

The Minnesota Timberwolves are going through a good year but off the field, ownership is taking a swing.

The ownership dispute started when billionaire owner Glen Taylor pulled out of a deal with Alex Rodriguez and his partner Marc Lore, who purchased a 40% minority stake in the Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx for $1.5 billion. However, delayed payments have resulted in Lore dismissing the agreement.

This led to A-Rod and Lore getting into mediation rounds with Taylor with regards to holding up the agreement. As reported by Forbes, both parties are heading to arbitration to raise their concerns with A-Rod and his partner seeking ownership.

According to Pablo Torre, the duo has paid the final $600 million required to finish the agreement to acquire a second 40% ownership by the March deadline. The duo claims to have submitted the required paperwork and approval by the league to trigger a 90-day extension for the remaining payment.

As per the lawyers having knowledge about the situation, Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore have a compelling case to reinstate the original agreement. It remains to be seen what unfolds in arbitration.
