Next GM Watch

[KillerLeft]

Don't know the full Connelly resume, but he is well thought of across the league.  I can how see dealing with AROD may get old.     That roster is in a weird spot.  Can you be in a weird spot with a good team?

I feel like Minny has made smart decisions and have been aggressive when needed.    I am not a huge Gobert fan but I think that can be viewed as a solid trade, right?  I think he was good to get off KAT and I think that trade has been good for Minnesota.  He got off DLO for Conley that helped them raise a level.   I think the Ayo trade was a good gamble.    They were supposedly going hard after Giannis at the trade deadline.  

The Dillingham miss was a big one.    Leading to being really thin and pretty poor at PG with an aging Conley.   I have liked his draft picks...most have not really panned out though.   I think the two bigs he picked this past draft are both interesting.   

Is he the right guy?  I don't know.  It sounds like Dumont wants more than a GM.   He will need a leader who can basically run an organization.    Even the best organizations have a ton of guys who think they should be in higher roles, so you need someone who will command respect.    

I have no idea what it means he is under contract.  I would certainly not trade for him.    Do teams let these type of positions interview if they stress they are looking for a change?

It's all about Gobert, I think. They have doubled down on that a number of times, even finally removing KAT from the equation instead of Gobert. Say what you want about KAT, but he was THEIR guy, and I'd guess there are a number of fans who were displeased with that final shoe dropping. Some within the organization even, probably. 

Now, Gobert's play is starting to drop off, so it's not even about the overpay or bad fit anymore. It's just a mess. I just kind of think all involved are going to be happy to end the relationship with Connelly at this point and that a trade won't be required, but then again I'm not super plugged into Minnesota, obviously. We have a guy who posts here about once a year who's a Wolves super fan - maybe he'll see this and chime in with some insight. 

From my seat, this is one of the more underwhelming choices out there. I might even prefer Ricardi, who I definitely don't want.
