Timberwolves Unlikely To Allow Mavericks To Interview Tim Connelly
May 1, 2026
Posted 2 hours ago by
The Dallas Mavericks had reportedly targeted Minnesota Timberwolves president of basketball operations Tim Connelly to fill their open lead front office role. However, in light of the team's success under Connelly, the Timberwolves are unlikely to grant the Mavericks permission to interview Connelly. Because he is under contract with the Wolves, they would need to allow the Mavs to interview Connelly for the position.
In Connelly's four seasons running Minnesota's front office, the Wolves have won nearly 60 of their regular season games. The Timberwolves have advanced to the last two Western Conference Finals and just completed an impressive upset of the Denver Nuggets in this year's first round of the playoffs. Connelly was previously the GM of the Nuggets for nine seasons. He was a big part of building Denver's roster that won the NBA Finals in 2023, after he had left the team to run the Wolves basketball operations.
