Lynx in WNBA Finals or Timberwolves in China? For owner Glen Taylor, one takes priority

Taylor owns both teams, of course, and sits courtside for almost all of the home games for each team. And even though the Wolves are going to open training camp in San Diego on Saturday and will leave for China immediately after their preseason opener vs. the Los Angeles Lakers in Anaheim Sept. 30, where they will play two preseason games, Taylor will stick close to his WNBA franchise.
“We’re going to stay with the Lynx as they play out there run,” Taylor said of he and wife Becky. “We think there is a unique opportunity there. That’s our priority.” |
Quote: |
“I would like to be in China,” Taylor said. “And I’ll get over there. But the priority is to be a part of the Lynx organization.” |
Quote: |
Should the Finals go the distance and reach Game 5 on Oct. 4, he will have spent upward of $1 million to air-condition Williams Arena on the University of Minnesota campus, where the Lynx had to move after playing the regular season in St. Paul’s Xcel Energy Center.
It is an expenditure that could eat away the team’s profitability for the season.
“That million dollars could push us back to losing some,” Taylor said. “But we’ll be fairly close. The No. 1 thing is to do what’s right for the players and the fans.” |

Does anyone know of site that sells Lynx apparel besides the WNBA store, fanatics, or the mainstream outlets (Amazon)? I'd like to buy a blue or green shirt with the old logo on it still before everything changes over. I've only been finding gray shirts.

Read in the STrib today that Whalen, Brunson, Augustus, and Moore are all resting this off season and won't play overseas. Fowles will only be playing the last portion of the already shorter Chinese season.

Senate Resolution Introduced Honoring Lynx
http://www.kduz.com/2017/10/20/senate-resolution-introduces-honoring-lynx/
Quote: |
Senators Amy Klobuchar and Al Franken have introduced a Senate resolution honoring the Minnesota Lynx for their fourth W-N-B-A Championship in seven years.
Klobuchar says the Lynx have “shattered records, made history, and established a true sports dynasty.”
Franken says for a generation of Minnesota youngsters, the Lynx have “served as an inspiration and as an example of what can happen through grit, perseverance, and hard work.”
Congressman Keith Ellison has introduced a similar resolution in the U-S House. |
