Connelly built Denver's championship team and turned the Timberwolves into contenders with moves like the Rudy Gobert trade. Dallas, reeling from a 26-56 record and Nico Harrison's firing after the Dončić deal, hopes to land him before the draft and free agency, though Wolves fans and insiders see little chance of it happening.
