Minnesota Timberwolves president of basketball operations Tim Connelly has been a vital part of the Wolves' success. He took over this role in 2022, famously making the Rudy Gobert trade shortly after earning this role. Before this, Connelly built the foundation of the Denver Nuggets' 2023 championship, including making the greatest draft pick of all-time in Nikola Jokiu0107.
Last offseason, Connelly moved his opt-out clause to the 2025 offseason. As a result, there was uncertainty around Connelly's future. However, as noted by Dane Moore and confirmed by The Athletic's Jon Krawczynski, Connelly is under contract for two more years.
