Who's buying some of the Wolves?
Interesting little blurb. Anybody got any ideas who they're talking about--and what effect that might have on the team?

Pssst: Don't be surprised if an agreement is reached soon with a California investor to buy 30 percent of the Timberwolves.

Re: Who's buying some of the Wolves?
Guess it's some big secret at this point  You people who know more about the team than I do: Any rich Californians hanging around courtside toward the end of last season? |

Meh? Yeah, pretty much--but if some ritzy California businessman is going to put up for 30% of an NBA team, he's going to want some say in how that team's run. It'd be nice to know who he/she is before it happens (IF it's going to).

I'm not going to get my hopes up whether when it will be official -- won't do much about anything because friggin' McHale will be there.

Re: Who's buying some of the Wolves?
Doesn't seem like a big deal to me. Just a minority share. I haven't a clue who it is though.

OK, so it's starting to look serious, not just a Meh. But why are they being so secretive about whomever Taylor's friend is. Unless it's Charles Manson or Kobe Bryant or somebody like that, why do they have to keep it so hush-hush? Desperate for suspense?
