The Knicks Timberwolves trade has finally come to a conclusion, and the maximum salary is gone!
5:58pm, 27 May 2025【Basketball】
On May 27, the NBA playoffs continued. In a game that just ended, the Thunder defeated the Timberwolves 128-126. In this game, the Thunder was burned out. Alexander scored 40 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists. He proved the value of the MVP. As long as the opponent catches up with the score difference in the first three quarters, he will stand up and lead the team forward. In the fourth quarter, 5 of 6 free throws helped the team pass the game, and his performance can support his super giant. The other two core members of the team, Chet and Jewe, also performed well, especially the two of them in the fourth quarter. Chet scored 21 points and 3 blocks in the whole game, and scored 9 points by one in the last quarter. He helped the Thunder expand the lead to 9 points in the last quarter, but the Timberwolves caught up with the score difference. At the critical moment, Jewe stood up. He scored 14 points in a single quarter to help the team stabilize the situation. In this game, Jewe scored 34 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals.
The third young master of the Thunder was perfect in this game. They bit the game at home with their outstanding performance. As long as they can win one of the next three games, they will advance to the finals. After defeating their opponents by 40 points in the last game, the Timberwolves seemed to be confused. The players performed well in the last game, probably because Edwards reduced his personal offense and "entwined" with Caruso and Dort on the outside, and did not ask for ball and damage. He scored 16 points in just 13 shots in the game.
This is not like a star who should have played in the Western Conference Finals. If it weren't for McDan, Dyvin and Walker who scored 20+, the Timberwolves would have collapsed long ago in this game. The playoffs are the stage for the stars. The Timberwolves are against Tiangang here, and it is reasonable for them to lose. Huazi performed poorly, and Randle's performance in this game was even worse. He scored 1 of 7 shots in the game, scored 5 points and 5 mistakes. Finch was so angry that he was abandoned most of the time in the fourth quarter.
Randall's performance has been very bad since the division final. In addition to this game, he has scored 28 points, 8 rebounds, 6 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 24 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists respectively in the past three games. You may say: Didn't you play two good goals? In fact, he just played a good goal in G1 in the series. The reason why G3 was able to score 24 points was because the game had been spent a long time, and everyone was not careful and asked him to beat it.
South League Finals Randall averaged only 15.7 points per game and shot 45% from the field. Such performance cannot be regarded as a star, but he can only be regarded as a blue-collar worker, but he is indeed the second in command of the team. Seeing his poor performance now, Randall may be very disappointed. He had already made a fortune and wanted to win a big contract. The current situation is that the big contract is likely to be gone, because this round of series has revealed his true colors.
Randall scored the league's top second-in-command level in the first two rounds of the series, averaging 22.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 6.4 assists per game, and performed very comprehensively. At that time, the Timberwolves' team record also revealed that the Timberwolves planned to renew Randall's contract in the offseason. As a result, in the Western Conference Finals, Randall couldn't stand it anymore. He performed well in the first two rounds because the Warriors and the Lakers were both small-squads, and Randall had an advantage in the face of them.
Faced with the old Dream Chasing Green and James, Randall was faster than them, and his strength was not inferior to them, and his physical fitness was better. Therefore, Randall broke out in these two rounds of series, and as a result, this round of series returned to the level of the Knicks era. Facing the opponent's big center, his breakthrough and damage were no longer possible. The three-pointer was originally a matter of the sky, and it was not a common weapon when it was accurate, so now he was strangled and he could not break the mark. The offensive end effect was minimal.
After both the Timberwolves and the Knicks reached the division finals, the outside world said that their deal was a win-win situation last summer. The Timberwolves gave Towns and got Randall, Divine and one first-round pick. The Timberwolves saved high luxury tax and scored into the Western Conference Finals. The Knicks relied on this deal to directly enter the Eastern Conference Finals from the team in the second round of the playoffs, and they are expected to compete for the championship.
But as the playoffs deepened and the opponent became stronger and stronger, Randall began to show shortcomings, and his old habits were broken again. The Knicks sent him away because he was easily targeted in the playoffs and had no effect when facing the center. On the other hand, Towns helped the Knicks back the suspense of the game yesterday. In the final quarter, he scored 20+8 and led the team to complete the reversal. Even if the Knicks were eventually eliminated by the Pacers, Towns would not take the blame because he helped the team win.
But if the Timberwolves are eliminated, it is definitely not Edwards, but Randall. After all, Randall's performance is worse than him. After this round of series, I don't know whether the Timberwolves will renew his contract, but to be honest, even if he is left behind, I think the big contract should be gone, after all, it is not a playoff player. Having said that, what do you want to say about Randle and the Timberwolves? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
