The Minnesota Timberwolves are willing to part ways with All-Star forward Julius Randle this 2025-26 NBA season. The Wolves are looking to capitalize on Randle's value and trade him for a star guard this season. One star who has come up in a potential trade for the Wolves is Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant.Randle is playing well for Minnesota this year. In 18 games, he's put up 23.4 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.7 assists. With his production, NBA insider Brett Siegel reported that the Wolves could "sell high" on the three-time All-Star for a point guard.“There is a growing sense that the Timberwolves will sell high on Julius Randle should the right star become available before February,” Siegel reported. “However, the problem with Minnesota is that they don't have any first-round picks they can trade outright, which would be problematic with pursuing Morant or another star guard.”One of the Wolves' main concerns this season is their point guard depth. Despite having Mike Conley, he has only started in five of his 18 games and has been demoted to the bench.The Wolves could eye pairing Morant next to Anthony Edwards, who is in the second year of his five-year, $244 million extension. However, that depends on which star guard will be available first ahead of the Feb. 6 trade deadline. Across the league, there have been trade rumors surrounding Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young and Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball. The Wolves aim to maximize Julius Randle's continued All-Star-caliber play by making a deal to strengthen their backcourt.It also makes sense for the Wolves to trade Randle if they are seeking a star point guard on the market. The 6-foot-8 big man has a three-year, $100 million contract until the 2027-28 season. If the team wants another star, they have to move a big contract away.
