Timberwolves agree to deal with Nuggets’ Tim Connelly

Tim Connelly is leaving his job as president of basketball operations of the Denver Nuggets for a similar role with the Minnesota Timberwolves, the team announced on Monday. Connelly steadily built the Nuggets into a perennial playoff contender through Draft picks that included two-time reigning Kia MVP Nikola Jokic, point guard Jamal Murray and forward Michael Porter Jr.

Connelly’s decision to switch teams inside the Western Conference’s Northwest Division was first reported by The Athletic and ESPN. The deal is reportedly for five years and worth more than $40 million. It also includes ownership equity.
