The Minnesota Timberwolves went far in the playoffs, but not far enough.

They are hoping to return even stronger next season, ideally with the same roster they have now.

According to head coach Chris Finch, two Timberwolves stars receiving a lot of attention will be back next year.

Finch said, via Fullcourtpress, that he “absolutely” expects Naz Reid and Julius Randle to be with Minnesota when the new season kicks off.

As powerful as Finch is, he doesn’t have the last say, but this statement definitely means something.

He wasn’t ambiguous or vague and plainly stated that both players will be back.

Reid and Randle have been at the center of many headlines lately because they are both confronting their respective player options.

Randle has been with the Timberwolves for just one season, but he could decline his option and test the free agency waters.

However, his $31 million player option will be hard to top by other teams, and he might be smart to remain with the Timberwolves.

As for Reid, a lot of people feel there is a stronger chance he leaves.

His $15 million player option could be outdone by several other squads, so he has more choices than Randle.

Despite all of these choices and possibilities, Finch still thinks that Reid and Randle will be suiting up for the Timberwolves for the foreseeable future.

But will the roster go through any other changes?

Even if Reid and Randle stay, other players could be leaving because the front office is eager to take that final step and reach the highest level possible for this team.

Finch thinks these two will stay, but that doesn’t guarantee the roster will look the same in 2025-26.
