The Minnesota Timberwolves have been granted permission to meet with LA Clippers general manager Michael Winger in the franchise's search for a President of Basketball Operations, league sources told ESPN.
Minnesota owner Glen Taylor has targeted a handful of potential candidates to oversee the Timberwolves operations --- with Winger emerging among them, league sources tell ESPN.
Since arriving from an assistant GM role with Oklahoma City in August of 2017, Winger, 39, has been credited with a significant impact in the Clippers front office under President of Basketball Operations Lawrence Frank.
The Clippers have reshaped their roster, replenished future draft assets, cleared max salary cap space and managed to stay competitive and return to the Western Conference playoffs.
