President of Basketball Operations Gersson Rosas was fired on Wednesday, but the No. 2 in the same front office, Sachin Gupta, is now at the controls. And the latter has many of the same connections held by his predecessor, so there is no reason to think that the Wolves’ chances of landing Simmons have changed for the worse.
