Conner is a valuable fantasy option in large part because of the fact he has taken over the goal-line duties for the Cardinals, as best depicted by his five rushing touchdowns, which are tied for second in the NFL behind only Derrick Henry. Conner has received the second-most goal-line carries since Week 3 behind only Ezekiel Elliot. Davis is RB32 during the last three weeks when it comes to total touches with Patterson just behind at RB33 — essentially a dead split despite the fact Patterson is used more as a pass-catcher, as well.
Sioux Falls Storm. Fairbanks Grizzlies. La Crosse Spartans. Chicago Slaughter. Wenatchee Valley Venom. Kent Predators. Orbach, who owns about 17 percent of the Minnesota teams, reportedly claims current majority owner Glen Taylor failed to honor "tag-along rights" for minority investors, which apparently allow them to sell their stakes in the team before Taylor sells his own.
At issue appears to be where those rights kick in when the team is sold in installments, as the Timberwolves reportedly are. Rodriguez and Lore are reportedly expected to purchase 20 percent of the team in , then grow their percentage until assuming a controlling stake for the season.
Orbach reportedly claims he attempted to exercise his tag-along rights, but was ignored by Taylor, who allegedly claimed that the rights won't be usable until the "control sale" years into the future. Orbach's lawsuit reportedly claims Taylor is wrong and the structure of the sale is a "clumsy attempt to circumvent" his rights. While the behind-closed-doors squabbling of billionaires and multi-millionaires likely won't affect Timberwolves fans — the sale appears to be intact despite the lawsuit — one thing that could be cause of concern is a small detail thrown into the suit.
Throughout the process of selling the team, Taylor has publicly maintained that he is including a provision in his deal with Rodriguez and Lore that will effectively prevent the new owners from moving the team out of the Twin Cities.
We will put it in the agreement. Orbach's lawsuit reportedly claims that the current agreement between Lore and Rodriguez contains no such provision, and that it explicitly lists relocating the team out of the Twin Cities market as something that can be presented to the team's advisory board for discussion. Orbach claims that the advisory board can only, well, advise, and that the new owners would not require approval to move the team.
Keeping the Timberwolves has long been a major concern in a post-Taylor world for the team's fan base. This is all coming from a person who clearly has a bone to pick with Taylor, but it's not nothing as Rodriguez and Lore await final approval from the NBA Board of Governors to begin assuming control of the team.
The first major expansion to Los Angeles, this was also the first of three relocations for the Rams. Their first provided a groundbreaking moment.
