Timberwolves Trading Julius Randle to Nets as Part of 3-Team Deal, AP Source Says

  • On Monday night, the Minnesota Timberwolves traded three-time All-Star Julius Randle and the 28th pick to the Brooklyn Nets, acquiring the 33rd pick in a three-team deal that also sent center Nic Claxton to the Chicago Bulls.
  • Minnesota offloaded Randle's $33.3 million salary to create cap space for retaining free agents Ayo Dosunmu and Bones Hyland as the franchise seeks to improve its roster in the competitive Western Conference.
  • Center Nic Claxton landed with the Chicago Bulls to bolster their thin frontcourt, while Brooklyn utilized available cap space to add the veteran forward to their ongoing rebuild effort.
  • The trade created a $33 million exception for the Timberwolves, providing financial flexibility to acquire additional players or pursue roster upgrades during the offseason.
  • With the NBA Draft beginning Tuesday night, Minnesota aims to secure depth and maintain Western Conference competitiveness after being ousted in the second round this year.
