Sachin Gupta, the executive vice president of basketball operations at the Minnesota Timberwolves, is set to leave the NBA franchise to take up a prominent role at Chelsea.
The 42-year-old has been in the position at the Timberwolves since 2021, having joined them two years earlier to assist in their NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement and team analytics.
In 2006, Gupta created the ‘NBA Trade Machine’ for ESPN — allowing users to assume the role of a general manager, based on the rules of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, which assess whether player trades are possible under salary restrictions.
Gupta spent five seasons in the Timberwolves front office, including spending one season as the interim general manager, and has been an important part of the team’s rise to contention in the Western Conference. He has also worked with the Houston Rockets, Philadelphia 76ers and Detroit Pistons during 18 years in the NBA.
Gupta rose up the ranks during the strategic and analytics boom that rippled through the league over the last two decades, working for two of forerunners in Daryl Morey with Houston and Sam Hinkie in Philadelphia.
Gupta came to Minnesota from Detroit to serve as the No 2 in command under Gersson Rosas. He ushered in a more robust strategy and analytics department with the Timberwolves, building one of the larger staffs in the league. Rosas was abruptly fired just before training camp in 2021, and Gupta was elevated to lead the front office. He provided stability during a chaotic moment and helped lead the Timberwolves to just their second playoff appearance in the previous 18 seasons.
The Wolves hired Tim Connelly to take over as president of basketball operations in 2022, and Gupta remained on board. The Timberwolves have made the playoffs three straight seasons, an uncommon amount of success for the franchise, including a run to the Western Conference finals last season.
