As the Minnesota Timberwolves enter this offseason, they are pleased with how their season ended, getting a first-round win over the 3-seed Denver Nuggets 4-2, but also realize their roster is not good enough to win a championship, and changes are inevitable. 

After an Achilles injury to Donte DiVincenzo, the task for the Timberwolves is to find players who can take pressure off Anthony Edwards on offense while finding more stability on the interior from their big men. 

One name to watch this offseason is Julius Randle. Randle has played with the Timberwolves for the last two seasons, as he was a part of the blockbuster trade that sent Karl-Anthony Towns to the New York Knicks. 

Randle, 31, is an aging veteran, and with him, the Timberwolves have not made it out of the second round of the playoffs. If the Timberwolves want to get over the hump in the postseason, trading Randle could be a move they may have to consider. 

Julius Randle has averaged 20 points per game, 6.9 rebounds, and 4.9 assists with the Timberwolves in his career. In the postseason, he has kept very similar numbers, with a slight drop-off in points per game. 

This postseason, he averaged 16 points per game, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.8 assists while only shooting 39 percent from the field. While Randle provides good size and good spacing for the Timberwolves, the issue is his consistency. 

Julius Randle has been a solid player in the regular season to help get Minnesota to the playoffs, but he has not emerged as a reliable second option when it matters most. 

At 31 years old, the odds of him finding that second gear in the postseason are slim, and Minnesota may want to consider trading for a player who is able to be a reliable second option in the playoffs and provide consistent production. 

The Timberwolves have been linked to Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors, and one player who could be involved in a move to acquire the former MVP would be Julius Randle. 

While Giannis makes more money than Randle, in terms of when their deals are up, his and Randle's contracts match up. Giannis' contract is about $20 million more expensive, but when you factor in his resume, the move could be worth making. 

If the Timberwolves were to acquire Antetokounmpo, he could take a lot of pressure off Anthony Edwards when it matters most. Giannis is a player who is a former MVP and has had to be the driving force of a championship team. That experience could elevate the entire Timberwolves roster.
