It's not just ARod buying the Wolves. It's him and Marc Lore.
I'm sure this is just a click-bait and the deal will get done.
Gives the haters on this thread a chance to hate before the deal is completely finalized.
If Arod has to take a smaller percentage of the team, so be it. Marc Lore can make up the rest.

That's why they didn't state "Marc Lore having issues buying the Timberwolves."

They were supposed to be 50/50 owners, so Rodriguez turning into a minority owner would be a fairly significant development.

Not surprising. A-Rod and JLo were a power couple. A-rod by himself is no nearly as powerful.

This is why if you're Lebron do you really want to put your money into owning a majority(which is probably what he'll want) in a major sports franchise? Of course he has more money than A-Rod but to put in at minimum 200 million liquid is a lot of dough plus these team valuations are probably only going to increase over time

Article literally says it’s Arod that is the struggling to come up with funds, not Lore. Lore already covered for ARod in July and if it keeps occurring instead of a 50/50 split it may end up being that Arod is a minority stake holder under Lore.

It’s completely accurate to say Arod is struggling to buy the Wolves.

Exactly who are the "haters" you speak of?

I guess this is not surprising. The whole global economic landscape has vastly changed since the beginning of this year. I wonder what this will mean for team valuations.

He probably lost a ton in the market this year.

With the revenue sharing and changed BRI split in the 2011 CBA it is damn near impossible to lose money on an NBA team. Which is a big reason the valuations have shot up the last decade, I doubt that changes any time soon, and there are not many other investments you can make that you can say that.

It’s true. J Lo is worth more than Arod and Ben Affleck combined. She also brings status more than arod can imagine
