Nickeil Alexander-Walker (unrestricted), Randle (player option) and Naz Reid (player option) all have opportunities to seek out greener pastures should they choose. And as Krawczynski noted, "it seems likely that the most realistic path forward is for the Wolves to retain two of those three players."

For all the strides the Timberwolves have made since they drafted Anthony Edwards, a noticeable gap remains between them and an NBA title.

With limited cap space and recent playoff disappointment, the Timberwolves could use the No. 17 pick in the 2025 Draft to swing key trades.
