The Minnesota Timberwolves announced Wednesday that the team has “parted ways” with President of Basketball Operations Gersson Rosas.

WCCO’s Mike Max says based on conversations, Rosas is out for two reasons: a culture he created that allegedly was toxic, and for an “inappropriate relationship” inside the organization.

Rosas was hired on by the organization in May 2019, promising to build a “special organization” with the Wolves. Max says while Rosas turned over the roster, he had not yielded any results that indicate he was on the right track.
