Julius Randle Makes Revealing Admission After Timberwolves Trade as Chris Finch Raises Eyebrows

Julius Randle sounds like a man who needed a fresh start. Chris Finch sounds like a coach who believes his Minnesota Timberwolves needed one, too. Three months after Minnesota traded Randle to the Brooklyn Nets as part of its offseason overhaul, the former Timberwolves forward opened up about the relief he has felt since arriving in Brooklyn. Meanwhile, Finch offered an unusually candid assessment of Minnesota's changing locker-room atmosphere following the arrival of LaMelo Ball. Neither directly criticized the other.
