After half a season without an official president of basketball operations, the Minnesota Timberwolves finally changed that. According to various reports, they will move forward with Gersson Rosas, who is currently an executive with the Houston Rockets.
With over 16 years experience in the Rockets organization behind him, the hire is a sign of Wolves owner Glen Taylor moving away from the country club mentality and delving into a new era, thanks in no small part to CEO Ethan Casson.
Rosas, who will become the league’s first ever Latino top executive, was the right-hand man to Rockets general manager Daryl Morey.
