Did Julius Randle’s wife say something about them liking Minnesota?

Re: The Julius Randle Thread
I think this has been an underrated effect of the trade. For all Ant's positives, Julius has seemingly brought out a greater work ethic in Ant.

MVP of our playoffs so far. His consistency and physicality has kept us in games.

I have been hard on Randle since the trade was originally made. His past post-season play made me skeptical, however, this year, I'm glad to be proven wrong.

Re: The Julius Randle Thread
So who is going to guard Julius in the wcf for both teams?
Denver normally likes to put Gordon on Ant but I don’t think they can do that all series.
Okc likes to put Dort on Ant but are you going to trust Chet?
The paint battle could be the deciding factor next round.

Denver mostly used KCP on ANT when they had him, and now Braun. Gordon would sometimes take ANT in the 4th clutch time
OKC would probably put IH on Randle and Chet on Rudy, try to bait the Wolves into force feeding Rudy touches. I don't think Wolves played OKC when both those guys were healthy

I cannot wait to see next season with Randle. Kat and Gobert took a year to really mesh. But then it was amazing.

For those that don’t know it, Julius Randle made his second All NBA team in 2021-22, and was due a new contract. Anybody that makes All NBA is a top 15 player and has leverage, but Randle DIDN’T take the max, so that the Knicks could add talent.
This is not a guy who’s motivated by money. The fact that he loves Minnesota, the team, and Finch is a big deal.

I love to see KD here but if we sign Randle and Naz but loss NAW, I will be fine with having the same roster for one more year

A lot of other teams are significantly improving. The Spurs adding a top draft pick and getting Wemby back, the warriors actually using Kuminga, Dallas probably won’t be a factor but Portland could be. My point is doing nothing has risks too. Relying on the draft to fix the PG and C is a big risk. Jaden is untouchable, Ant is untouchable, but Rudy and Randle probably should move in the next year.

Re: The Julius Randle Thread
If Randle does indeed resign I hope its close to the deal Naz Reid just got,also if we resign him think its a LOCK that some combo of Gobert,DDV & Dillingham will be trade to upgrade the PG spot heading into next season.

So if we trade Gobert, we're starting Naz and Randle and relying on Beringer as our 3rd big?
That feels like an absolute disaster.

I could see us getting another center via trade and possibly apart of whatever trade we make with Randle,DDV and whatever else.
Honestly my idea would be to ship out Randle,Gobert,DDV and possibly Dillingham for ad legit PG,Young pieces and picks and getting us under the the tax line.Dont think we have to be a 1st or 2nd apron team to compete and also the fact that Lore & A-Rod are the poorest owners in the league.

Julius Randle, Wolves Expected To Sign New Contract

Julius Randle, Wolves Expected To Sign New Contract
The Minnesota Timberwolves took care of keeping Naz Reid in the fold by agreeing to a five-year, $125 million contract. Next up, is believed to be another frontcourt signing for Minnesota with Julius Randle.
Randle holds a $30.9 million player option for next season. There's been a belief that Randle and the Wolves will come to an agreement on a long-term deal. Randle could pick that option up, then sign an extension. Or Randle could decline that option and sign a new deal, as Reid did.
Either way, Minnesota may look to bring Randle's salary figure for next season down from the $30.9 million he's currently owed. That could give the Timberwolves the ability to stay under the second apron, or to possibly create some tax savings to re-sign Nickeil Alexander-Walker.
