During his time as the Minnesota Timberwolves president of basketball operations (and with the Denver Nuggets before that), Tim Connelly has been known to make unexpected yet impactful moves. Connelly's blockbuster trades for Rudy Gobert and Julius Randle are the two biggest examples of this strength. Heck, even trading for Mike Conley and Nickeil Alexander-Walker in 2023 illustrates this ability.
Ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, Wolves fans are eager to see what Connelly has up his sleeve. Of course, the Wolves are in the mix for Giannis Antetokounmpo. However, there are a lot of moving parts to pulling this off, and it's not super likely.
