Glen Taylor has owned the Timberwolves since 1994. The team traded for three-time All-Star Jimmy Butler during the NBA draft last Thursday, and now Taylor says he hasn’t been so excited for a new season to begin since the Wolves landed Latrell Sprewell and Sam Cassell to join Kevin Garnett in 2003-04.
He was asked if this is a high point for him as an owner.
“I would say the answer to that is yes,” he said. “We have so many good things in place now, we just have to hope that our guys stay healthy and win and get ourselves in the playoffs again so we have a chance to compete against the elite teams.
