Lore and Alex Rodriguez, who entered a 30-day exclusive negotiation window with Taylor that recently expired, spoke with Bloomberg about a new joint venture capital firm and in the piece Lore said talks with Taylor are "ongoing and going very well" and are "getting close to the finish line."
Even though the negotiating window expired, the two sides are still engaged in talks for the $1.5 billion purchase of the Wolves and Lynx. Taylor is set to remain majority owner until 2023 when Lore and Rodriguez would take over.
Lore and Rodriguez met with Wolves and Lynx staff last month and have been at Wolves games.
Naz Reid led the Wolves with 25 points off the bench, Anthony Edwards added 21 and Minnesota made sure Charlotte didn’t leave Target Center with another victory.
