Fear of Timberwolves leaving Minnesota keeps popping up as sale nears completion

The most concerning revelation for the Timberwolves from the lawsuit minority owner Meyer Orbach filed against Glen Taylor for breach of contract wasn't that Taylor might have violated Orbach's so-called "tag-along" rights to sell his shares of the franchise before Taylor can execute the sale.

Instead it was that Orbach's complaint said there was no stipulation in Taylor's agreement with buyers Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore to keep the team in Minnesota, after Taylor publicly stated he would include such language to the Star Tribune and other outlets.

Taylor released a statement to try and squash some of that concern Thursday morning.
