I'm distraught over the news about the JLO/A-Rod split. The prospect of seeing JLO standing with her back to me only 5 feet away has kept me going through these past couple games. Now the dream is over and it's back to being a depressed Timberwolves fan.

I'm guessing A-Rod told her he was going to buy an NBA team. She was probably excited, thinking it was going to be the Knicks, Nets or Miami Heat. Hearing it was the Timberwolves probably sent her into a rage. It was clearly the last straw in their already strained relationship.

Don't get so down Lip they said they were better as friends! They will still hang out and stuff. Honesty I would not be surprised if JLO showed up with A-Rod sometimes at Target Center...unless either of them actually find another romantic partner or have a true falling out with each other.

The 30 day exclusive rights to buy the wolves expire in 5 days. So who will be the Wolves new owner when Glen screws it up.

The 30 days have now passed. The Lore Arod group no longer have exclusive rights to negotiate.

This might not get done, now. Typical Taylor

I haven't seen any reports that the deal is in jeopardy. Would you post the links?

Here's what Brian Windhorst had to say about the status of the negotiations 37 minutes ago:

The group agreed to buy the Wolves along with the WNBA's Minnesota Lynx for a purchase price of $1.5 billion, with the idea that Rodriguez and Marc Lore would first become minority owners and gradually buy pieces of the franchise over the next couple years with the intent of reaching complete ownership by the 2023-24 season. However, talks in the past month have centered around which date Taylor would hand over complete ownership to Lore and Rodriguez, per Windhorst.

Maybe Glen has decided he wants to delay turning over majority ownership longer than first reported. That would be ridiculous. Or maybe there is disagreement over how much say the new owners will have during the period of their minority ownership. In any event, Glen just needs to let go!!

Dumbass glen, two years is already a long enough time.

Oh Glen. Hes got to know no one wants him around. What on earth would make him think that anyone sees a benefit to his presence once hes agreed to sell? The ego and delusion of these Billionaire types is incredible to me. Hes done enough damage already, just go away.

Is it any coincidence that the negotiations turned once the JLo breakup was public?

Aaron Afflalo group now plans to re-pitch Glen on buying the Wolves. Never easy with Glen
