Yesterday, we wondered if Tim Connelly would remain at the helm of Wolves, the manager having a clause allowing him to leave the club at the end of this season. And while the duo Alex Rodriguez – Marc Lore, who brought him in, failed to take control of the club, the sale having finally been blocked by Glen Taylor…
The response was quick since the sporting boss of Wolves assured that he was not going to leave the ship now.
“Leaving Denver wasn’t fun”explains the former architect of the Nuggets to the Star Tribune. “I had a lot of fun here. I feel like I've created roots here. It's pretty special. And that's the goal. It’s been a great two years and I hope we can extend them. »

But Tim Connelly assures that his fate will not depend on the outcome of the squabble taking place at the summit.
“At the landlord level, this is a unique situation at the moment. But whatever happens, it's on the upper floor. I trust that what happens will be the right path. We have all shared great moments throughout this season. We have had conversations and they will continue. Now that we’re officially in the offseason, we’ll have a better idea of what we could do.”
For the manager, being one of the last four teams of the season means that this group can win the title.
But how will it evolve when finances are in the red? Obviously, the club is ready to stay above the luxury tax (by retaining Karl-Anthony Towns) in the short term. In the medium term, on the other hand…
“It’s heavy for the owners”concludes Tim Connelly. “It’s a lot, a lot of money. As for the impact on our flexibility, I think the jury is still out. This is not an area where you want to settle long term. The situation becomes more and more difficult every year. If we dabble a little, it might have a relatively small impact on what we can or cannot do. But we are in the process of learning it (the terms of the new collective agreement), like the 29 other teams. »
