The second part of the new front office tandem for the Wolves is current San Antonio Spurs assistant general manager Scott Layden. He will finish his work with the Spurs next week and head to Minneapolis full-time at that time.
Layden’s relationship with Tom Thibodeau goes way back, as noted here in the Star Tribune. The two men became great friends when Thibs was an assistant in New York under Jeff Van Gundy, while Layden was general manager and team president of the Knicks.
Prior to what was ultimately an unsuccessful stint in the Big Apple, Layden spent the majority of his career in Utah.
