Taylor sells a minority share to some Chinese guy and another minority share to some New York guy!

About time Taylor sells a stake in the franchise!

http://www.1500espn.com/wolves-2/2016/06/reports-taylor-sells-some-shares-but-will-remain-timberwolves-controlling-owner/

http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/16561211/minnesota-timberwolves-sell-ownership-shares-lizhang-jiang-meyer-orbach

Taylor will still be the majority owner obviously. And the Chinese dude he sold a minority stake too will supposedly be the NBA's first Chinese investor in an NBA team.

Glad you decided to become a normal poster. Your trolling game is trash.

You're welcome :) and I apologize. But it's all in the past now, water under the bridge.

Chinese people eat cats, so what is this going to mean for KAT? :( :( Uh-oh :noway: We finally got the first pick in franchise history last year and this is what we get for picking the better player over Okafor :noway: :noway:

Loving it.

I am surprised it took until now for a Chinese investor to step up. From what I can tell, the NBA is huge over there, especially since Yao.

This person also purchased Granada CF soccer team in Spain like 2 weeks ago as well. An awesome coincidence since Rubio is from Spain as well and the Wolves probably have a fairly decent sized fanbase there because of Rubio.

He also founded a Chinese marketing company as well, Double-Edge sports. He will be able to market the TWolves to a massive amount of people over there.
