He is destined to be the core of the championship team! Randle can win a 4-year, 194 million yuan fat contract, will the Wolves keep him?

Last year's offseason, when Towns and Randall swapped, many fans looked down on the Timberwolves' prospects and believed that Towns' departure might become the marginal team in the playoffs, but they never expected that they would enter the Western Conference Finals again this season. Unfortunately, facing the strong Thunder, they eventually fell 1-4 outside the Western Conference Finals goal and missed the finals again. After the journey of this season, the Timberwolves really need to make plans for next season.

can enter the Western Conference Finals stage for two consecutive years, not only fans, but even the Wolves management may hope that the team can enter the finals stage as soon as possible in the future. There is no doubt that the team's core is still Edwards, but whether the second in command still wants Randall to be the one, the team really needs to think carefully. It is undeniable that Randall made great contributions to eliminating the two traffic teams of the Lakers and Warriors, but considering that neither of these teams are strong inside, it is indeed reasonable that Randall's tyrannical performance has been performed well. However, in high-end games like the Western Conference Finals, the double towers led by Harten and Homgren, Randall's condition is fluctuating, which is also an objective reason why the Timberwolves failed to advance to the finals.

averaged 24.3 points per game compared to the first two rounds, but in these five games in the Western Conference Finals, Randall averaged only 17.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3 assists per game, with shooting percentages of 48.3%, 47.8% and 85.7% respectively in the three events. Without being able to easily penetrate the penalty area, Randall can basically only shoot from the outside. Facts have proved that Randall may indeed not be able to do the core rotation of the championship team. According to salary expert Bobby marks, if Randall chooses to execute the player option, he is eligible to renew a four-year, 194 million contract with the Timberwolves, with a salary of 43 million next season, which is about 13 million more than the salary in the last year of the current contract (he is the player option of 30.94 million next season).

For small-scale football markets like the Timberwolves, they definitely hope to spend money on the edge. Although the exchange between Towns and Randall makes their salary slightly flexible, if they really want to give Randall a fat contract with an average salary of about 50 million, this contract will definitely become a premium contract after the arrival, because Randall proves that he cannot convince the team in high-end games this season, whether in the Timberwolves or the Knicks before.

If Randle is willing to cut his salary, the Timberwolves may keep him, but it is unlikely to expect the management to offer this 194 million yuan fat contract in four years. If the Timberwolves do not strengthen their lineup now, the top limit will be the Western Conference Finals. But if they really have the ambition to attack the championship, they can actually clean up Randle's value while he has not yet declined, so as to get some more defensive and tougher inside line. So next it depends on what the Timberwolves should make. If they want to keep Randle, although they still have the chance to enter the Western Conference Finals in the next few years, they are likely to be unable to touch the Finals floor. However, if they really trade Randle, they will face two situations. Either the team's ceiling is increased (to enter the Finals), or the team may not even be able to touch the Western Conference Finals floor, which becomes worse than before.
