Wolves Also Had Sam Presti, Masai Ujiri, Bob Myers On List

[RealGM Wiretap]

When the Minnesota Timberwolves began their search for a president of basketball operations, they identified four potential candidates in Sam Presti, Masai Ujiri, Bob Myers and Tim Connelly.

Connelly was deemed the most "gettable" from a financial perspective. Connelly is in an option year of his contract.

Connelly also received strong interest in 2019 from the Washington Wizards. Connelly is originally from the Washington DC area.

Ujiri signed a contract extension with the Toronto Raptors in 2021 with a reported salary of $15 million per year. 

Myers signed a multi-year extension with the Golden State Warriors in 2019.

Presti's contract status is unknown and he has been linked with high profile jobs in the past, but he has not yet appeared close to leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder.

What does that even mean? Why even mention the other names if there was no way to get them. How many GM's have been traded?
Is this Taylor or Arod/Lore making this decision?

Like anyone is interested in them.

I used to have Jessica Alba on my bride-to-be list as well.

The original tweet is even better

Marc Lore and Alex Rodriguez put together a list of five POBOs to target shortly after purchasing the Timberwolves, sources say.

Originally Pat Riley was on that list. These are the most recent five names, sources say:
Tim Connelly
Masai Ujiri
Daryl Morey
Bob Myers
Sam Presti

I mean aim high fellas, aim high.

My list of ladies I'd would consider dating:
Margot Robbie
Gal Gadot
Kim Kardashian
Ariana Grande

Never hurts to aim high...unless you're Pete Davidson.

Lol. And why would they leave their respective teams?
