Famous reporter: The Timberwolves want to increase flexibility through the Towns trade and think Randle is more suitable for Huazi

Today's famous reporter Jake Fischer wrote an article about the Timberwolves.

Last offseason, the Timberwolves sent Towns away in a three-party trade and obtained chips such as Randall and Divinzenzo from the Knicks.

Jake Fischer said that the Timberwolves were eager to improve the overall organizational ability of the team, which was the key reason why they suddenly decided to exchange Landers for Randall and Divenzenzo with Towns. Of course, there are obvious financial factors in this deal. The Timberwolves hope to enhance financial flexibility and increase the probability of renewing Reed and Alexander Walker this summer.

However, the source emphasized that the Timberwolves believed that Randle's ability to break into the inside, transfer the ball to the weak bottom corner, and find an empty cut player in the breakthrough are more suitable as Edwards than Towns.

The Timberwolves also believe that Divincenzo's underestimated organizational ability can improve offensive firepower and make up for the outside space lost after sending off Towns. The Timberwolves had chased him with all their might before he signed with the Knicks in the summer of 2023.
