After years of animosity, Kevin Garnett looks to make peace with Glen Taylor

For the last several years, Kevin Garnett has wanted little to do with Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor.

Garnett hasn't minced words about his feelings toward Taylor, and the lingering resentment from Garnett over what he viewed as broken promises concerning his role in the franchise upon retirement has burned strong, even as recently as April.

"At this point, I don't want any dealings with Glen Taylor or Taylor Corp. or anything that has to do with him," Garnett told The Athletic in April, adding he "doesn't do business with snakes."

Garnett even accepted the Celtics retiring his jersey before the Wolves.

But now as Taylor is reportedly moving closer to selling the team, Garnett seems willing to bury the hatchet.

In a series of posts to Instagram, Garnett specifically mentioned wanting to partner with Taylor for the good of the Wolves' future. Garnett mentioned he is a part of a group interested in buying the team. In the past, Garnett has said he had no interest in partnering with Taylor. He even said he would like to be part of the ownership group that kicked him out.

Here's what he said in 2017, according to the website Awful Announcing: "I don't want to be partners with Glen, and I wouldn't want to be partners with Glen in Minnesota. I would love to be part of a group that buys him out and kind of removes him and go forward."

In one post, Garnett said: "Regardless of past feelings with Glen … I would love nothing better than to become partners going forward in this great but [massive] rebuilding of a city that I deeply love! Putting the past to the side/focus on the now."

Garnett followed that up a little later by pledging his love for Minneapolis and wanting to show that through the team: "My passion for the Minnesota Timberwolves to be a championship team is well known but I have a deeper affection for the city of Minneapolis.

"I once again want to see Minneapolis as the diverse and loving community that I know it is. No two people love the city more than myself and Glen Taylor and I look forward to trying to work with him to achieve my dream."
