Souhan: What this Wolves team needs is patience and stability, not another big trade with more new players
Someone check on Tim Connelly. He hasn’t made a trade in hours.
The Timberwolves hired Connelly to be their president of basketball operations in May of 2022. Since then, he has made four major deals:
The only regular starter from the Timberwolves’ 2021-2022 season who is currently starting for the team: Anthony Edwards.
The only primary bench players from 2021-2022 who are currently playing a large role for the team: Naz Reid and Jaden McDaniels.
Even if you hated every deal Connelly has made, you’d have to credit him for being fearless. That he crafted a roster that went to the Western Conference Finals and achieved the greatest victory in franchise history — a comeback Game 7 win over the defending champion Nuggets in Denver — speaks to his expertise.
Now he gets another chance to show off his boldness. The NBA trade window opens on Friday and closes Feb. 6. Former Timberwolves Jimmy Butler, Zach LaVine and Russell could be moved in the next two months, as Butler strives to alienate every NBA fan base and Russell continues his quest to be traded by every NBA team.
