The "10-for-1" trade of Glen Taylor and Kevin Garnett
Timberwolves and Jazz is the largest trade so far in the offseason. As a blue-collar center, why can Gobert get so many chips for the Jazz? I'm afraid many people think that the Timberwolves made a deal that cost them all their money. Perhaps it is still difficult to judge from the strength of the team whether Gobert is compatible with Towns , and whether they can open up space in the new season, especially on the offensive end. When Gobert is in the paint, can the Timberwolves' air cutting and pick-and-roll tactics be able to do so? Execution is still unknown. But from the perspective of Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor, he has managed to maintain a good harvest despite drought and floods, and has made a lot of money. Perhaps it is for their own benefit that the Timberwolves have such a "10 for 1" deal.
Paul
Alexander introduced Paul before selling the Rockets
In the summer of 2017, Rockets owner Alexander made an equally amazing deal - Rockets "1 for 9" brought Chris Paul to Houston . The chips paid by the Rockets in this transaction include Lou Williams, Beverley , Harrell , Decker , Liggins, Hilliard, and the first round of the top three protected picks in 2018. Signed and acquired Chris Paul in a partial cash deal. At that time, Paul hoped to leave the Clippers. Although the Rockets only sent out a first-round pick, Beverley, Lu Wei, and Harrell were all cost-effective role players. Judging from Paul's age, injuries, and condition at the time, they were basically the same. Especially considering Paul's desire to leave the Clippers, it should be said that the Clippers had made a profit by not losing Paul in vain.
Paul and Harden
After Alexander introduced Paul, the Rockets were sold for US$2.2 billion. Before Paul joined the Rockets, the Rockets were sold for US$1.65 billion. In other words, Chris Paul's joining the Rockets brought a capital increase of US$550 million to the former Rockets owner Alexander. This may be one of the reasons why the Rockets want to introduce Chris Paul, and Fertitta paid an extra $550 million because he valued the championship hopes and market influence brought by the All-Star backcourt combination of Paul and Harden.
Edwards
The Timberwolves are about to change ownership.
The current owner of the Timberwolves is Taylor. It is reported that Taylor has sold the Timberwolves for US$1.5 billion. There are two takeovers, namely former MLB player Rodriguez and entrepreneur Mark Lowe. Former NBA legendary star Kevin Garnett is also interested in taking over the Timberwolves, but Garnett's team's offer is only 1.2 billion. US dollars, which ultimately prevented them from getting the Timberwolves. However, there are two pieces of news worthy of attention: first, Taylor still has two years to continue to be in charge of the Timberwolves; second, after the news that Taylor sold the team, Auerbach, the second largest shareholder of the Timberwolves, sued Taylor. Went to court. Auerbach believed that Taylor's sale of the Timberwolves for only $1.5 billion harmed the interests of other shareholders, and that there was no clause in the deal to ensure that the Timberwolves would not leave the city of Minnesota.
Towns
The Timberwolves' transaction is different from that of the Rockets. Alexander took action directly and no longer interfered with the team. Taylor will not officially exit the operation and management of the Timberwolves until the 2023 offseason. It is worth mentioning that Taylor made an earth-shattering deal before the start of the final season, including four first-round picks that disrupted the trading market. For Taylor, the $1.5 billion price tag is indeed a bit low. Because the NBA intends to introduce new teams, and the franchise fee is as high as 2.5 billion US dollars.
Gobert and Towns
This means that the operating rights of a team are as high as 2.5 billion US dollars, and a team like the Timberwolves that also owns Towns and Edwards will obviously sell for more than 2.5 billion US dollars. This may be the real reason why Auerbach, the second shareholder of the Timberwolves, was dissatisfied with Taylor for selling the Timberwolves for only $1.5 billion.What can be confirmed so far is that Rodriguez and Mark Lore will be the new shareholders of the Timberwolves, but it remains to be seen whether their transaction prices will change.
