The Minnesota Timberwolves are facing a tough decision regarding Julius Randle, who they acquired along with Donte DiVincenzo in a trade for Karl-Anthony Towns. Randle has a player option for the 2026 season, but it is uncertain if he will stay with the team. While not many teams will have cap space this summer, a trade could still be on the table.
Bleacher Report has suggested the Los Angeles Clippers as a potential trade partner for Randle. The Timberwolves are currently in a decent position with a 39-39 record and are on a seven-game winning streak. They are within striking distance of the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, making it unlikely that they would want to disrupt their success by moving Randle unless they receive a significant upgrade in return.
It is speculated that both the Clippers and Timberwolves will be looking for upgrades in the offseason, but it is unclear if they would be willing to trade with each other. The Clippers would likely need to part ways with Kawhi Leonard to make a trade for Randle feasible, which seems unlikely.
As the offseason approaches, the Timberwolves will need to weigh their options carefully when considering Randle’s future with the team. They will need to decide if it is worth potentially disrupting the team’s current success in order to make a trade that benefits them in the long run.
