“Moodiness for Giddiness”: Timberwolves HC Takes Subtle Shot at Julius Randle, Naz Reid in Comments Over LaMelo Ball Trade

LaMelo Ball ’s arrival in Minnesota appears to be changing more than the Timberwolves’ offense. Head coach Chris Finch believes the guard’s cheerful personality has lifted the mood around Anthony Edwards and the rest of the roster. That marks a shift from the frustration of recent seasons, which Naz Reid once summed up in one word: “moodiness.” Now, the Wolves are entering a new season with a different atmosphere. With Reid and Julius Randle gone, Minnesota is counting on its new group to bring a different dynamic heading into the season.
