It's no secret that Minnesota Timberwolves lead executive Tim Connelly is one of the most aggressive decision-makers in the NBA. Some people might disagree with me, but that's exactly the guy I'd like running the show for a championship team. The Timberwolves have an impressive 26-and-under coreNow, one counterargument about Connelly's strategy could be that he's mortgaged off the Wolves' future. From a picks standpoint, this is correct, as after the LaMelo trade, Minnesota has no tradable first-round picks. Regardless, what gets ignored is that they have a rock-solid 26-and-under core (which is yet another reason why the LaMelo trade is a great move).
