No matter how badly the Phoenix Suns may want Jimmy Butler, there just doesn't seem to be a viable way for them to get him. Nobody wants the Bradley Beal contract. Even if someone did, Beal himself doesn't seem eager to drop his no-trade clause to help the Suns dump him.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have one of the hottest names on the trade market with Julius Randle. The trade deadline is next week, which means Minnesota is expected to be actively shopping the 30-year-old forward.

The Miami Heat are trying desperately to trade Jimmy Butler and a new report says the Minnesota Timberwolves, with Julius Randle, are a team to watch.

ESPN writer Kevin Pelton has floated a Julius Randle trade that would absolutely improve the Minnesota Timberwolves' spacing.

Bill Simmons proposed a trade scenario between the Timberwolves, Milwaukee Bucks, and Detroit Pistons that could benefit all parties. Though some Timberwolves fans may worry about Middleton's recent injuries and decline in production, Simmons believes this deal could benefit Minnesota in other ways.

"Rival executives believe the Timberwolves will be seeking a Julius Randle trade before the deadline for a better on-court fit alongside Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert," Sidery reported Thursday. "Randle has a $30.9 million player option for next season many around the NBA are expecting him to pick up."

In the final days before the trade deadline, the Miami Heat are one team everyone around the league has zeroed in on.

After Edwards shot the 3 with time winding down, Julius Randle could be seen on ESPN's cameras making his way towards the locker room. A review had held up the final inbounds play, but Randle was already on his way out of the tunnel, and he's been the subject of criticism for his early exit and body language during crunch time in Wednesday's game.

DAYS AFTER THE Minnesota Timberwolves made a core-altering blockbuster trade, Anthony Edwards sensed that his new co-star was concerned about stepping on toes. It was just a training camp scrimmage, but Julius Randle looked more like a hesitant rookie than ...
