This is a transfer we didn't see coming. Wolves vice president of basketball operations, Sachin Gupta thus leaves the Minnesota franchise to join Chelsea Football Clubin England.
Sachin Gupta, 42, earned degrees in electrical engineering and computer science from MIT and an MBA from Stanford. Recruited by ESPN, he developed the “trade machine” there, which allows you to test exchange ideas between teams. Then spotted by Daryl Morey, he worked alongside him at the Rockets from 2006 to 2013.
He then followed Sam Hinkie to the Sixers, from 2014 to 2016, before returning to the Rockets. Promoted to assistant GM of the Pistons in 2018, he only stayed there for one year, before Gersson Rosas, also a former Rockets player, made him his right-hand man when he took over at the Wolves, starting in 2019.
In Minneapolis, he had to deal with several complicated situations, including the firing of Gersson Rosas, following internal problems and the discovery of his affair with an employee of the franchise.
Promoted to interim president of basketball operations in 2021, he then handed over to Tim Connelly, and he will therefore change sports, now devoting himself to football.
