New owners Lore, A-Rod detail plans for Wolves
Briefly

Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore, the new co-owners of the Minnesota Timberwolves, intend to focus on innovation and a winning culture, drawing inspiration from George Steinbrenner.

Lore emphasized the need for innovation in ownership, stating, 'It’s about being disruptive, not doing things the conventional way,' reflecting their fresh approach to team management.
