About this episode
On today’s show, Dane is joined by Adam Mares of DNVR Sports , who has covered Tim Connelly for eight years in Denver. Adam helps shed light on not only what Connelly has done from a roster construction standpoint in Denver to who he is as a person and leader. In this episode, you’ll be able to glean the Denver perspective of the move (disappointment), while also better understanding what Connelly’s strengths and weaknesses as a lead executive have been. Topics include... — The Denver perspective on losing their chief decision-maker in what is likely the most important summer of the Nikola Jokic era — How the rest of the league is viewing the tactics the Wolves are using to pry away Connelly, specifically using ownership stake as a carrot — Is this a bigger loss for Denver than it is a gain for Minnesota? — Connelly’s background coming from a basketball family in Baltimore — Connelly’s track record of establishing culture and finding gems in the draft, and more question marks about his trading tracking — Will Connelly influence the style of play? — Chris Finch and Tim Connelly’s personality similarities — How Connelly might round out his front office For a 14-day free trial of Aura’s digital security, sign up at Aura.com/Dane Learn more about your ad choices.
