'It's been a long, long time since we got out of the first round. 'I'm pretty committed to the Minnesota Timberwolves right now,' Connelly said April 27. It's similar to what Connelly said at the Wolves' exit interviews following the playoff loss to the Nuggets when asked about interest in the Wizards job. It's been a really fun year, on and off the court, and we're fully committed to being a Timberwolf.' 'That's certainly the plan,' Connelly said. Could Connelly say he was going to be the Wolves president next season? Hartman asked a follow-up after saying Connelly wasn't directly answering his first question. Hopefully, next time we have this conversation it won't be this early in the season.' So, all eyes are on the Timberwolves and how we can make this team better. Just left the office watching draft videos. We didn't do better than last year, so we have to figure out how to make this team better. 'I'm just totally focused on the Timberwolves,' Connelly said. 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. Until they name someone, Connelly is likely to face questions about the job. Over two weeks since Sheppard's firing, the Wizards are still in search mode for their new head of basketball operations. He is from Baltimore, got his start in the NBA with Washington and turned the job down in 2019 to remain with the Nuggets. 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.
