That's a good sign.

I hope so, Q, but I don’t know. I like the “star quality” of Lore/Arod, but there is some risk as to whether they are going to be willing to enter tax land like glen was. Glen reported that the potential new owners had submitted a budget to the league that got us out of the lux tax by gutting the roster. I don’t like that if it’s true. Like him or not, Glen’s willingness to pay a big lux tax has led to our success. I hope we get the same from the new owners.
I'm rooting for ALore due to two reasons: 1) By any objective measure other than keeping the team in Minnesota, Taylor has been an abject failure as an owner. We are one of the losing-est franchises in the history of American sports and a lot of that happened on his watch. 2) Dane Moore has had more of an inside peak into the inner workings of the Wolves organization for the past 8 years and he believes it's poorly run and dysfunctional. In fact, he sounded so disillusioned by what he's witnessed that I'm not sure how he continues doing what he's doing if Glen retains ownership.
Here is the thing if Glen wins ownership...the guy is old it's only a matter of time before the team gets put up for sale again. At this point Glen probably holds on for a while since the team is winning but who knows maybe someone makes him a crazy offer or something. Then the "Risk" comes back with whoever buys the team.

It would also be nice to not have your most decorated former player KG taking shots every chance he gets at his former team's ownership. I'm glad we should know something one way or another soon.
