Julius Randle On Wolves: I Feel Wanted Here

Julius Randle addressed the media on Thursday for the first time since he was traded by the New York Knicks to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Randle joined the Knicks ahead of the 19-20 season and helped turn around the franchise.
"You want to be somewhere where you feel wanted. I feel wanted here," Randle said Thursday. "At this point in my career, I've accomplished a lot of great things on an individual level, but I want to win a championship. This is a perfect opportunity to do that."
Randle will help the Wolves replace Karl-Anthony Towns as he potentially enters a free agent offseason.
"It was a breath of fresh air," Randle said about the trade. "I'm excited to bring everything I've learned here over the past five years and help these guys out. My only thing here is I just want to help.
"I want to help [Anthony Edwards]. I want to help Rudy [Gobert], Naz [Reid] -- all those guys. I want to help win a championship, and that's the only thing that matters."

We miss KAT terribly, but we will get behind Julius and DDV with all we got.

They wanted him to be half the price of KAT, so I guess he's not wrong.

This could be one of those trades where neither team wins looking back.

Is anybody really going out and buying a Julius Randle jersey?

I actually suspect Ant can unlock something in Julius, the way he improved Reid, KAT and Gobert

Not that it matters... but if he comes in healthy, averaging 20/10, the jerseys will sell.

Would matter to me if I was a NBA team owner. Did his jerseys sell in NY?
I'm glad he feels wanted. I don't like the trade for the Wolves though. oh well

I don't know how much they sold before, but in about three weeks the NYK Randle Jerseys will be selling like hotcakes at your local TJ Maxx.
