The Minnesota Timberwolves are in serious talks with Tim Connelly to become their President of Basketball Operations.

The Wolves received permission to speak with Connelly from the Denver Nuggets and the sides have moved beyond exploratory conversations.

No agreements have been reached and nothing appears imminent at this time.

Sachin Gupta, the Timberwolves’ executive vice president, remains a significant part of the organization’s long-term vision and is a candidate to continue overseeing basketball operations. The Wolves haven't ruled out the possibility of Gupta remaining in charge, but the talks with Connelly represent the possibility of hiring someone above Gupta.
