Tim Connelly worked under Dell Demps in New Orleans from 2010 through 2013.
The Process in Philadelphia also started in earnest when Sam Hinkie and Sachin Gupta traded Jrue Holiday to New Orleans during Demps’s tenure as GM — a defining move for both front offices. – 4:36 PM

More on this storyline

 

Connelly’s coming in here not looking to make the sweeping changes that a lot of the times a new president does make. I think that’s what stood out in the press conference. Tim is a guy who makes connections and works with the people around him, and wants to empower. I think he’ll eventually bring in some of his own people, but there’s a strong foundation here that he wants to do as much adapting to the Timberwolves as he wants the Timberwolves to adapt to him. -via HoopsHype / June 3, 2022
