US EditionJulius Randle, Timberwolves Finalizing 3-Year Contract that Could Reach $100 Million, AP Source Says
- The Timberwolves are negotiating a long-term deal with Julius Randle, valued at around $31 million annually, beyond his upcoming player option.
- Following his late-season surge, Randle excelled in Minnesota's first two playoff series, playing career-best basketball under coach Chris Finch.
- The Timberwolves' payroll is nearly $100 million above the second luxury tax apron, with over $100 million already committed to Naz Reid, limiting cap flexibility for Randle's deal.
- Despite a rising salary cap, Randle’s deal and Reid’s recent $125 million contract push payroll near the second luxury tax apron, affecting roster flexibility.
- As league salary cap and luxury tax thresholds are projected to rise, Minnesota's projected payroll for 2025-26 nears the second apron, reflecting significant frontcourt investments.
