When the Wizards fired President/GM Tommy Sheppard on April 19, Timberwolves President Tim Connelly came up almost instantly in NBA circles as a potential candidate for the job.
He is from Baltimore, got his start in the NBA with Washington and turned the job down in 2019 to remain with the Nuggets. Over two weeks since Sheppard's firing, the Wizards are still in search mode for their new head of basketball operations. Until they name someone, Connelly is likely to face questions about the job.
That happened Friday when Connelly appeared on WCCO with host Chad Hartman, who asked Connelly about the job in his first question, and if Connelly would stay with the Wolves no matter what.
