The acquisition of forward Julius Randle hasn't gone according to plan for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Randle doesn't spread the floor like center Karl-Anthony Towns and hasn't been a good fit next to guard Anthony Edwards,

The NBA trade deadline is less than two weeks away and the Timberwolves face a massive decision: Keep Julius Randle or deal him. Why it matters: The clock will soon start ticking on the prime years of 23-year-old Anthony Edwards,

The Minnesota Timberwolves would probably love to get out from under Julius Randle's oppressive contract. These NBA teams might actually oblige.

Many have blamed Julius Randle for the Minnesota Timberwolves' struggles this season. While he certainly hasn't helped, it's unfair to attribute all of their problems to him. He's not blameless, so his name is mentioned in trade scenarios.
