Timberwolves rookie Anthony Edwards won’t be starstruck the first time he meets his new boss.
Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore, the former president and CEO of Walmart’s e-commerce division, are in exclusive negotiations to buy T-Wolves from Glen Taylor. Lore is the money man but A-Rod is the headline name, like Derek Jeter is for the Marlins’ ownership group. Sports fans actually know who A-Rod is. Or, most sports fans.
Edwards, the future of the franchise, has no clue who this washed up baseball player is.
He was asked about the Rodriguez news on Tuesday and whether he was a fan of A-Rod’s.
