According to Minnesota Timberwolves president of basketball operations Tim Connelly, there is a belief that forward Julius Randle<\/a> will remain with the team. The 30-year-old appeared in only 46 contests due to a shoulder injury in his final season with the Knicks. He was then traded to Minnesota last offseason in the deal that sent Karl-Anthony Towns<\/a> to New York. While Randle managed to appear in 69 games during the 2024-25 campaign, he averaged only 18.7 points and 7.1 rebounds, his lowest marks since his last year with the Los Angeles Lakers back in 2017-18. The 2014 No. 7 overall pick has until June 29 to decide if he will opt in to his nearly $31 million player option. But considering the landscape of available funds for most teams around the National Basketball Association, many believe he will. There’s also a chance he could agree to a new contract. With that in mind, Randle may not be as productive as he once was, but he’s still capable of playing at an All-Star level, and a bounce-back season is certainly possible, especially if he stays with the Timberwolves.–Dennis Clausen – RotoBaller<\/a>
