Amid questions about his future after being acquired by the Minnesota Timberwolves, Julius Randle is making it known he is happy to be with his new team.
At his introductory press conference on Thursday, Randle said being with the T-Wolves is "super important" because he feels wanted.
"You want to be somewhere where you're wanted," he explained. "I feel wanted here. ... Ultimately, yeah, I do want to be here."
Randle said his initial reaction to the trade was shock, but then he felt excited about playing in Minnesota and reuniting with head coach Chris Finch.
The Knicks sent Randle and Donte DiVincenzo to the Timberwolves as part of a three-team trade that brought Karl-Anthony Towns to New York.
