Kevin Garnett buying the Minnesota Timberwolves would be the sweetest ending to his Glen Taylor beef

The two have had beef for years.

It’s been a long time coming, but Kevin Garnett might finally get the chance to fulfill his dream of buying the Minnesota Timberwolves.

In an interview with The Athletic, current team owner Glen Taylor said he was exploring a potential sale of the team. Garnett is part of a group that has interest in buying it.

Garnett has had a shaky history with the team and Taylor. The two have had a beef brewing for decades, but things recently got worse in 2015 after then-head coach and team president Flip Saunders passed away.

Saunders brought Garnett back to the organization to retire as a Timberwolf.  He also promised Garnett that, after he retired, he’d have a role in the organization and they’d work toward a path for potential ownership, according to The Athletic.

After Saunders passed, Taylor hired Tom Thibodeau and that plan went out the window. And so did any good will Garnett had with Taylor and the organization.

That was until Tuesday, however. After news broke that Taylor wanted to sell the team, Garnett took to Twitter to express his interest and he even said a nice thing about Taylor…kind of.

It looks like the olive branch has officially been extended. This absolutely feels right.

Garnett is unquestionably the greatest Minnesota Timberwolves player of all-time. He leads the franchise in points (19,201), rebounds (10,718), assists (4,216), blocks (1,590) and steals (1,315).

Yet, to this day, he doesn’t have his jersey retired in the rafters. Garnett doesn’t want it to be while Taylor still runs the organization. That beef runs deep, clearly.

But if Garnett manages to actually buy the team? He won’t need Taylor to retire his jersey. He can just do it himself.
