https://apnews.com/757a52cebf56c5ccea6e81e34c78359a MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — An ownership group led by longtime NBA player Arron Afflalo is putting together an offer to buy the Minnesota Timberwolves, two people with knowledge of the bid said. 一個由前NBA球員 Arron Afflalo 為首的團隊，正籌資買下灰狼隊經營權。 The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Friday because the deal was still in the process of being submitted. The group will consist of two to five individuals with a net worth of more than $10 billion. According to the people, Afflalo’s group will submit the bid no later than this weekend. 該團隊將有二至五名成員，淨資產超過一百億鎂。根據消息人士透露，最晚在本週末，他們將進行投標。 Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor, who bought the club in 1994 to keep it from moving to New Orleans, has put the franchise up for sale on the condition it remain in Minnesota. Taylor has hired a merchant bank, The Raine Group, to broker talks. There are multiple groups interested, the 79-year-old Taylor said earlier this week. He also owns the WNBA’s Minnesota Lynx. 現任老闆 Glen Taylor 在1994年買下灰狼隊，避免球隊被遷移至紐奧良。他已經透過一家商業銀行—The Raine Group，啟動球隊出售程序。這星期稍早他透露有不少團體表達興趣，但前提要將球隊留在明尼蘇達州。他同為WNBA 山貓隊經營者。 The Timberwolves have a lease at the city-owned Target Center that lasts through 2035. A $140 million renovation project on the arena was finished in 2017. In the latest sports franchise valuations from Forbes business magazine, the Timberwolves ranked 28th out of the 30 NBA teams, but still at $1.375 billion, albeit before the pandemic began. 灰狼隊與市政府營運的標靶中心(Target Center)，租約持續到2035年。而 1.4億鎂的場館翻新計畫，也已在2017年竣工。市值在30支NBA球團中排在第 28位，但仍有13.75億鎂，儘管是武漢肺炎疫情爆發前的數字。 Basketball Hall of Famer Kevin Garnett announced he’s part of one group trying to buy the team he starred for from 1995-2007. Garnett and Taylor had a falling out after his return to the Timberwolves in 2015. Garnett told The Athletic in an interview earlier this year that he doesn’t “do business with snakes,” but on Twitter this week Garnett said he looks forward to trying to work with Taylor to “achieve my dream” of NBA ownership. 名人堂球星 Kevin Garnett 已在稍早表示他是參與競標團隊之一。KG 在 2015年重回灰狼隊後，與 Taylor 的關係降至冰點，但他本週在推特上表達過，期待與 Taylor 合作達成他擁有NBA球隊夢想。 Minnesota Vikings owners Zygi Wilf and Mark Wilf were recently contacted about their interest in buying the franchise. According to a person with knowledge of that situation, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the confidential nature of the negotiations, the Wilfs had back-and-forth conversations about a potential acquisition, but those talks are not active. 明尼蘇達維京人隊老闆 Zygi Wilf 和 Mark Wilf，近期也表達過買下球隊意願。根據消息人士指出，Wilf兄弟來來回回進行過多次關於接手球團的對話，不過並非積極討論。 The people familiar with Afflalo’s group said the team won’t be relocated. The 34-year-old Afflalo would be the face of the group, with venture capitalist Brock Berglund spearheading the financing. The only Black primary owner in the NBA now is Michael Jordan in Charlotte. 熟悉 Afflalo 的團隊人士表示球隊不會遷址。這位34歲前NBA球員將代表該團隊，而財務方面由風險資本家 Brock Berglund 負責。目前 Michael Jordan 是聯盟唯一非裔黑人老闆。 --- 1.KG 為主的團隊 2.Afflalo 為主的團隊 3.維京人老闆，但沒有積極爭取? 應該還有未浮上檯面的競逐者，靜觀其變了。只希望不要影響到制服組對球隊陣容的佈局。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 1.161.215.121 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Timberwolves/M.1595694861.A.793.html
