The three-time All-Star who joined the franchise in 2019, went on to stay with the team for almost five years. <\/p><p>During his tenure with the New York City-based team, Randle emerged as a centerpiece of their resurgence and led them to the Playoffs twice, ending their 8-year dry spell since 2012-13.&nbsp;However, his performance over the years dipped. He ended up being the third option for the team, behind Jalen Brunson and RJ Barrett. <\/p><p>About a year ago, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ShamsCharania\/status\/1839854538288750975\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>the Knicks traded him to the Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a> as a part of a three-team deal that sent Karl-Anthony Towns to New York. Now, months after the move, Randle looked back on his memories with the team, and not in a fond way. The 30-year-old said that by the end of his stint with the two-time champions, he was in the darkest phase of career. He also said that with the Knicks he couldn&rsquo;t focus on his game and wasn&rsquo;t enjoying playing.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Randle said, <em>&ldquo;You know how New York is, man. You&rsquo;re under a different microscope<\/em>.&rdquo; <em>&ldquo;So it&rsquo;s like, you&rsquo;re not just battling and trying to win. It seems like you&rsquo;re battling a million different things<\/em>.&rdquo; &ldquo;At the end of that time, I was kind of at my darkest moment. Just miserable, like in a way where I just was not having fun going to work every single day,&rdquo; he recalled.&nbsp;<\/p><p><em>&ldquo;I would just be in there watching TV in a dark room, I didn&rsquo;t even want to show my face. I kind of just wanted to be left alone and, like, in hiding. Just very frustrated and angry and all those different emotions. It just wasn&rsquo;t a good place to be in,&rdquo;<\/em> Randle went on to say.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Julius Randle Opens Up on Finding Happiness in Minnesota&nbsp;<\/h2><p>The 6-foot-9 player, who is gearing up for his second season with the Wolves, quickly found comfort in Minnesota. In an interview with The Athletic, he said that being here &ldquo;feels like home.&rdquo; Talking about it, Randle feels very settled here. <em>&ldquo;I would say even this summer and leading up to the season is probably the happiest I&rsquo;ve been in a really long time as far as just career, family, everything.&rdquo;<\/em><\/p><p>It didn&rsquo;t take him long to adjust to the new environment. Soon he cemented as an essential part of the team. During the 2024-25 season, he posted an average 18.7 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 4.7 assists for the Timberwolves across 69 appearances. The number wasn&rsquo;t his best record but overtime. However, he is expected to bring out his true self and take the Wolves to newer heights.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"mm-layout mm-layout-type-post
