Julius Randle’s wife has sparked trade rumors on social media after she shared a personal update about her family. The Minnesota Timberwolves suffered a difficult elimination in the conference semifinals against the San Antonio Spurs. Victor Wembanyama and Co. proved to be too much for the short-handed Wolves and an injured Ant-Man.
Randle could not step up when Anthony Edwards was sidelined with knee hyperextension, given his veteran resume. His production declined considerably, scoring 12.8 points and 7.7 rebounds. Given the offensive slump, his wife, Kendra, shared a personal update on Instagram, seemingly with a picture of her balcony.
Kendra wrote:
“We’ve been packing up her house getting ready for Texas but really greatful for great weather
our last week here”
Fans quickly took to the comment section and took the hint to speculate on his trade rumors. Several believed that his performance and the team’s postseason run might have demanded a change in the roster. Randle’s reported absence from the media session took everyone by surprise after the Wolves’ exit.
A few teams have shown interest in signing Randle, as he will be one of the top prospects in the offseason. Randle is from Dallas, Texas, and the story means the couple is moving back to their hometown before they decide on the forward’s future.
Pistons, Nets, and others might be interested in Julius Randle
Julius Randle can be a great offensive asset for a young team in the NBA. Given Jalen Duren’s postseason woes, the team’s front office might look to acquire a veteran forward who can take the offensive duties off of Cade Cunningham’s shoulders. The Nets are another young team that needs a veteran anchor like Randle.
Michael Porter Jr. led the team last season with a career-best performance after getting traded from the Denver Nuggets. A scorer in Randle, who can lead the team in clutch situations, might help the young core build a formidable offense. Besides, the Charlotte Hornets are also among the few teams that might interest the Texas native.
The Hornets showed a lot of grit, led by a young LaMelo Ball-Kon Knueppel duo, bringing their team to the play-ins. Mix it with the experience of Randle, and the team might see a turnaround in the next season. Only time will tell what his next destination will be in the NBA if the Wolves’ management decides to let him go this offseason.
