Tim Connelly when @DanBarreiroKFAN asked him if he stays in contact with Chris Finch and the coaching staff while making trades:
"I'll give Finchy a salary book and [tell him to] cross out the guys you really dislike, heart the guys you really like, and in between, we will have conversations. Julius is a guy he has always loved. He coached him in New Orleans, so there was built-in familiarity … there probably isn't a bigger Julius Randle fan in the NBA than Finchy. Every move is going to be lock-step with Finchy."

Sorry that I couldn’t put the whole tweet in the title, the entire quote exceeded the character limit.
That is some interesting behind the scenes on how this stuff plays out. That interaction makes me feel better knowing the POBO and coach are aligning before even pursuing things. Makes me really curious to see how Randle fits here since Finch is high on him from his past in New Orleans with him.
Chef and Sous Chef
Finch gotta be Randle’s kids godfather good lord

Love how well Finch and Connelly work together.
Finchy’s hearts: Giannis, Lebron, Steph, Luka, Wemby. 😆
In Finchy we trust. Hard to see Kat go because I believe Ant will lead this team to a championship, and I wanted Kat to be part of that. But I’m all in with Randle, Divincenzo, and this trade. Let’s go get it this year Wolves.
Who was on the dislike list?!
I’d ❤️ to see Finchy’s list
I wonder what names Finch is crossing off the list
Please never leave, Tim.
Still not sure how I feel about Randle but I am a fan of a competently run organization.
And some of you people still believe this trade was just to save ownership money

There’s another book with pictures instead of salary, they use that one for marry/fuck/kill
So basically a Toys ‘R Us catalog for grown adults?
Wow this is great insight.
Do you think Finch does this for our roster too? Like people he really really wants to keep, people he wouldn’t mind trading, in between etc.
Or is it just other players in the league?
Do any players get a sad frowny face?
Told you guys Finchy wanted Kat gone and Randle in. Pretty much confirmed by this…
Finchy knows Kat was a detriment to how Finchy wants to play and especially wants to use Ant…
