As Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez replace Glen Taylor officially as the majority owner group, there are expected to be significant changes in the entire organization.
Charley Walters, of Pioneer Press, an established local source, said that one of the initial moves made by the new management is to bring back Timberwolves legend Kevin Garnett to the front office.
As soon as Lore and Rodriguez officially take ownership, Kevin Garnett’s front-office role will be confirmed.

The Big Ticket was a major player in the Twin Cities, achieving impressive stats of 19,8 points, 11,0 rebounds, 4.3 assist, 1.4 steals and 1.6 blockings per game. He also led the Timberwolves into eight straight playoff berths between 1997 and 2004.
Garnett won the NBA MVP Award in 2004 with an average of 24.2 point, 13.9 rebound, and 5.0 assist. He also led the Timberwolves into their first Western Conference Finals.
