Randle feels wanted in Minnesota, eyes NBA title

The Straits Times

|

October 05, 2024

Once he got over the initial shock of being traded from the New York Knicks to the Minnesota Timberwolves this week, Julius Randle was excited to join another NBA (National Basketball Association) title contender.

“You want to be somewhere where you feel wanted. I feel wanted here,” the power forward said on Oct 3.

“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.”

Speaking at a news conference, Randle was introduced along with Donte DiVincenzo and Keita Bates-Diop, who were acquired in the deal that sent Karl-Anthony Towns to the Big Apple.

The Timberwolves also landed a future first-round pick in the blockbuster deal.

Randle, 29, was a three-time All-Star in his five seasons with the Knicks, but a shoulder injury kept him out of their play-off run this spring.
