For the 2024/25 season of the NBA, Julius Randle began a new chapter with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The player was traded from the New York Knicks in exchange for Karl-Anthony Towns. Over half a year later, Randle still bitterly remembers his departure from the Knicks. "It was crap," the player stated in comments recorded by the New York Post.

Even when the Timberwolves look like they're figuring it out with seven wins in 10 games, they revealed themselves as an unserious basketball team when they trailed the Warriors 34-12 after one quarter Wednesday night and wound up losing 116-115. It was the latest speed bump in a season full of inconsistencies.
