Alex Rodriguez, who a while back, made news with his failed attempt to buy the New York Mets, seems to be on his way to owning an NBA team. It has been announced that A-Rod and partner Marc Lore have finalized a deal to purchase the Minnesota Timberwolves and it's WNBA counterpart, the Minnesota Lynx.
The purchase has raised speculation of the team moving, Seattle has been hungry for an NBA team since the Sonics left in 2008. I can't see that as A-Rod was loudly booed in Seattle after he left the Mariners to sign a huge contract with the Texas Rangers. I don't think Seattle, on the other hand, will want to welcome him back. After all, there has been recent talk about the NBA expanding, and my guess is that Seattle would much rather have a team through that avenue, rather than put another city through the heartache of losing it's team.
