The Minnesota Timberwolves face pivotal decisions this offseason, particularly regarding Naz Reid and Julius Randle, both set to enter free agency. Timberwolves president Tim Connelly is optimistic about retaining both players, with head coach Chris Finch stating he expects them to remain in Minnesota for the upcoming season.

Naz Reid, coming off a successful campaign where he averaged 14.2 points per game as the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year in 2024, holds a $15 million player option for next season. Reid's versatility and long-range shooting have made him a valuable asset. Meanwhile, Julius Randle, who was traded from the New York Knicks, averaged 18.7 points per game this season and excelled in the playoffs, shooting over 50 percent. Connelly noted both players are keen to stay, fueling optimism for new contracts.
