Heated allegations have gone back and forth and on the record. This week, comments from NBA commissioner Adam Silver and a pair of sourced reports kept the issue front and center as the Timberwolves (55-25) chase the top seed in the West. Silver said the league will be staying out of the fight, viewing it as a dispute between a buyer and a seller that, per the purchase agreement, will go to mediation and arbitration to be resolved. But he did add some clarity to the situation when asked about Lore and Rodriguez saying that the only reason they did not close at the end of March was because they were awaiting league approval. “The dispute is precisely that, as to whether they had acted within the window of the option that Glen Taylor had sold them,” Silver said at the board of governors meeting in New York this week. “That’s the very basis of the dispute. So that dispute will be resolved independent of the league office.” -via The Athletic / April 12, 2024
