Brian Windhorst: I don't think Timberwolves can keep Julius Randle, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Naz Reid

Brian Windhorst: Well I don’t think they can keep this team together. The core they can but… so Julius Randle’s a free agent. Nickeil Alexander Walker is a free agent and Naz Reid is a free agent. He has an opt out which I’m sure he’s going to take. Ant’s contract is very large. (…) I would be surprised if they were able to re-sign all three guys.
