ESPN Sources: Denver Nuggets President Tim Connelly has agreed to a deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves that’ll make him one of the NBA’s highest compensated executives. Significant coup for Minnesota franchise.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) May 23, 2022

Connelly will sign a 5-year, $40M-plus deal that includes ownership equity, sources said. Massive deal and franchise changing move for the Timberwolves.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) May 23, 2022

Denver made a bid to keep Connelly that would've moved him into one of the better paid league executives, sources said, but the ownership equity with Minnesota is life-changing money -- something only a very few executives have in their deals.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) May 23, 2022

juwan will prob eventually be an nba coach, but for now the decision is "coach your sons at your alma mater" or "be lebron's highly-paid assistant," and i think he chose wisely

I like how being paid millions in annual salary is just ho-hum these days and it takes getting an ownership share in a billion dollar enterprise to be "life-changing".

when someone is willing to pay you $10 million+ to not work for the timberwolves, the timberwolves better be offering something that is truly changing your life in a whole different way

I think it's funny that leaving a job for more money, which is why 99% of people leave their job is being viewed as suspect for some reason. Wolves aren't a destination so you have to overpay. POBO doesn't count against the cap so who cares how much these rich guys want to spend.

the best way to get more money and prove youre worth the max is actually to play poorly and quit on your team in the playoffs then let someone write an article about how you only sleep a couple hours per night cos you cant shut off the video game.

hornets one team that i think would actually be completely justified in giving ayton a huge contract. they badly need a real center and he’s athletic enough to play with their guys
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 24 May 2022 17:25 (one year ago) link
that team would need one helluva coach/culture to make it work cos hes not helping their defense unless he buys in

The recent Williams dynamic may simply echo consistent word—dating back to the trade deadline—from league sources with knowledge of the situation that Ayton is not particularly a favorite of Phoenix's head coach. Williams has purportedly griped about Ayton's waning focus, which some people contacted by B/R said has often been reflected by the ebbs of his playing time.There's a stronger sense among league figures that Phoenix brass simply does not view Ayton, or any center, as a player worth greater than $30 million annually.

i know we made fun of sarver for not paying ayton last offseason but its looking like that was a good choice. instead we should direct all of that ire at him for picking ayton over luka in the first place.
“I’ve been told by multiple people who were with the Phoenix organization that picking Ayton was a total Robert Sarver move,” said MacMahon. “It sure wasn’t Igor. He wanted them obviously to get Luka, and to put a big offer on the table for Clint Capela.”MacMahon’s co-host, Brian Windhorst, added that Ayton attended college at the University of Arizona, where Sarver is “a proud alum.”

it was always obvious that Ayton's U. of Arizona connection was a big contributing factor to his #1 pick by PHX. also, that it was a mistake.

i don't want to make a bigger deal out of it than it is, but that video game article really shifted my perspective. honestly the idea that he's getting like 4-5 hours of sleep a night, let alone 2, could account for a lot of the lack of focus in his game. if he could kick that shit and start living healthy who knows what he'd be. otoh there isn't much indication he's interested on doing that so maybe a moot point.
can't remember where i was reading/listening to it, but in the midst of harden looking cooked in these playoffs, someone was contrasting his off-court lifestyle with cp3 as a significant contributor to their ability to maintain their level of play as older players, and it really resonated. i don't always think about that how much of a difference that stuff makes
