ST. PAUL, Mn. (AP) – The Minnesota Timberwolves are trading Julius Randle and a first-round pick to the Brooklyn Nets as part of a three-team deal that also includes the Chicago Bulls, a person with knowledge of the terms said Monday night.<\/p>\n
The Timberwolves are sending the 28th pick in Tuesday\u2019s draft to the Nets and will be receiving the No. 33 pick that will be made in the second round on Wednesday night, said the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal has not received the required approvals from the league office.<\/p>\n
ESPN, which first reported the deal, also said the Bulls would be receiving Nic Claxton from Brooklyn in the trade.<\/p>\n
For Minnesota, the trade opens up a slew of financial possibilities. It creates a $33 million trade exception, plus gave the Timberwolves room they can use to re-sign Ayo Dosunmu \u2014 which ESPN said later Monday would happen in the form of a five-year deal that could be worth $112 million \u2014 and target more players in free agency.<\/p>\n
Dosunmu had a 43-point game off the bench during the opening round of this year\u2019s playoffs, when Minnesota ousted Denver.<\/p>\n
Randle, a three-time All-Star, will be moving to his fifth team after stints with New York, the Los Angeles Lakers, New Orleans and the Timberwolves. He averaged 21.1 points this past season, though shot just 39% from the field and 24% from 3-point range in Minnesota\u2019s 12 playoff contests.<\/p>\n
Claxton just finished his seventh NBA season, all with Brooklyn. He averaged 11.7 points this past season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
