Jayson Tatum: Boston Celtics star downplays motivation for new season
Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum downplays motivation for new season after NBA title and Olympic Gold.
The 7-footer will be going back to his childhood home in New Jersey, which is an advantage.
However, three days before training camp started he did not seem to anticipate this move coming.
In addition to an All-Star power forward in Randle, the Wolves also acquire a first-round pick to make up for some of the draft picks they shipped to Utah in exchange for Gobert, as well as a sharpshooter in DiVincenzo, who just finished his strongest shooting season.
Tim Connelly, president of basketball operations for Minnesota, demonstrated his courage by going all out in the Gobert trade and now doubles down with the addition of Randle.
As the Wolves are ready to take on the challenge of trying to advance deeper in the playoffs while the best Western Conference teams don't seem to be easing up around them, this might be their most significant move.
Young star Anthony Edwards and center Rudy Gobert will now take on more responsibility for the Timberwolves.
