Timberwolves lose $50M in four years
Tuesday, Nov 20, 2007 6:02 am EST
Rumor has it that during a four-year period (the past two seasons, this season and next season), the Minnesota Timberwolves will have lost nearly $50 million. Before that, owner Glen Taylor made many millions on the team, so much that he was able to pay off the $80 million he paid for the franchise 12 years ago.

I guess pimping KG made it easy to pay off what Taylor paid for the team.

Owners crying about being broke sheesh

JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

those numbers are usually scewed.. for example it doesnt take into consideration that the value of the franchise increased

Capital appreciation is independent of Operating profit.
If anything, the loss probably decreased the value of the franchise.
