0:00.0	This is the dayn'clock.
0:14.0	This is the Dane Moore MBA podcast.
0:16.2	We are brought to you by prize picks coming at you Tuesday morning.
0:19.1	It's February 11th, and I will be joined shortly
0:22.3	by Wolves beat writer Chris Hein from the Star Tribune, which is still owned by Glenn Taylor.
0:28.1	The Minnesota Timberwolves, however, are not. And that is because on Monday evening,
0:32.9	Mark Lurie and Alex Rodriguez announced that they won the arbitration ruling for ownership of the Minnesota
0:38.3	Timberwolves and Links. The statement released by Lori and Rodriguez read, Mark Lori and Alex
0:43.8	Rodriguez announced that the arbitration in the Minnesota Timberwolves and Link's ownership

1:47.4	The arbitration panel voting in favor of Lori and Rodriguez means their ownership group can now complete their final payment on the purchase of the franchise.
1:57.1	They have $940 million in escrow ready to go. I've been told, remember, they also have Michael Bloomberg and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt as part of their ownership group now.
2:11.0	After that, payment is completed. All that remains is approval from the MBA's Board of Governors, which I have been told is not an obstacle.
