Next GM Watch

[KillerLeft]

Was Connelly’s job to win the trade or make Minnesota a winner?  Two conference finals appearances in back to back years for a team that hasn’t been relevant for a long time is an outcome many would take.  Different CBA and rules back then also.  I’m not arguing it was a great trade.  It was a huge overpay.  But, the result wasn’t the worst thing to ever happen to a team like the TWolves.

From my (slightly comical) POV, his job was to simply not trade for Rudy Gorbert thinking he was the answer to anything, least of all to play next to Towns. Yes, it was an overpay, but it’s wanting Gobert on that team in the first place that I struggle with, personally.

I don’t want to restart old arguments, but I really hate two bigs. A GM who thinks that can work is obviously not what would excite me, but it is only my opinion. He’s well thought of enough, I admit.
