The Minnesota Timberwolves decided to hire Tim Connelly on a lucrative five-year, $40 million contract complete with ownership equity in May 2022 after unexpectedly firing President of Basketball Operations Gersson Rosas shortly before the 2021-22 season and naming Sachin Gupta the season-long interim POBO.
