Mavs targeting Tim Connelly?
Per Tim MacMahon of ESPN, Tim Connelly stands as the "primary target" for the Mavs for their basketball leadership role. But the possibility of hiring the top executive would be challenging given his current contract status and duties for the Minnesota Timberwolves . "He has a job.
He had an out in his contract last year. He does not have an out in his contract. So, the Mavericks would need to get the Wolves permission to even talk to him, much less hire him.
At this point, I don't know what the likelihood of that is," MacMahon said in the Howdy Partners podcast . "That's not the kind of thing you find out while a team is in the playoffs. Frankly, the Mavericks want to make this hire by mid-May, which I would hope—this is an absolutely critical draft.
It's the last time they control their own draft pick on Cooper Flagg's rookie contract. The next time they have their own pick under control is 2031. " BasketNews This article originally appeared on Hoops Hype: Mavs targeting Tim Connelly?
