Tim Connelly on draft process: “If you can’t do it exactly like the way you had hoped, you have Plan B’s and C’s and feel good about those as well. Hopefully, we argue like crazy, respectfully, and challenge each other’s opinions and once the door opens it’s a “we” decision. No decisions from this group will be made by individuals. It’ll be made by the collection of colleagues.”

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
Connelly was not given a slice of equity in the team in the same way that Flip Saunders was when he returned to the organization in 2013. But his contract does call for him to have the option to benefit financially should the value of the franchise go up over the years, sources told The Athletic. -via The Athletic / June 1, 2022
