If Minnesota decides they’re better off without him, Bleacher Report floated a three-way trade between the Timberwolves, Chicago Bulls, and Golden State Warriors. The trade was predicated on the belief that Randle isn’t a long-term player for Minnesota and that the Timberwolves will shop for a point guard.

The Knicks shocked everyone by pulling off a trade for Karl-Anthony Towns in exchange for Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo at the start of October, and that has transformed both teams. Towns was coming off an up-and-down playoff performance and there was plenty of debate about how good he really was,

One night the Wolves might primarily need Randle to be a playmaker. Another night they might need his scoring. It can be dependent on the other team's defensive look, like on Saturday when the Cleveland Cavaliers heavily utilized a zone set.

Exactly a year prior to his long-awaited MSG return, the highest mark of Julius Randle’s tenure was taking shape.

In a shocking turn of events, they decided to salary-dump Karl-Anthony Towns in a trade with the New York Knicks. Needless to say, trading away your second-best player will take a toll on your chances of competing. Julius Randle isn't to blame for the team's debacle, but he hasn't been a good fit next to Rudy Gobert.

Julius Randle speaks about the Knicks trade to the Timberwolves and reflects on his time in New York and his new journey in Minnesota.

If the Minnesota Timberwolves decide to trade forward Julius Randle prior to the trade deadline, the Chicago Bulls are a perfect fit.

A bold three-team trade proposal involving Randle, Kuminga, and Vucevic could reshape the futures of the Timberwolves, Bulls, and Warriors.
