Julius Randle, Minnesota Timberwolves, according to reports, accept a three -year contract and $ 100 million

Days later Blocking the great man Naz Reid with an extension of the contractAccording to reports, the minnesota Timberwolves did the same with Julius Randle.

The Timberwolves and Randle have agreed on a new three -year contract and $ 100 million, Shams Charania reports by Espn. The third year is a player option. Randle is giving up 30.9 million dollars who are due for the next season to sign this new agreement (which is why this is not an extension), which maintains it approximately at the same level of salary and with another couple of years of safety.

Randle approached Minnesota in the Karl-Anthony Towns trade and there was a remarkable skepticism throughout the League for Randle’s fit with his new team. While it took some time, she started playing well as a complementary player alongside Anthony Edwards and next to Rudy Gobert, taking over when the matches dictated. Randle scored on average 18.7 points and 7.1 rebounds a game last season, but his constantly rapid decision -making process was more impressive. If necessary, Randle could return to the ball that is at the center of his game to get buckets.

Minnesota had a net rating of +8.2 in the playoffs when Edwards, Randle and Gobert were on the pitch together. It was +8.4 when he focused on Randle and Gobert only.

With Reid and Randle in progress, the Timberwolves will not have much room to operate under the second apron of the luxury tax.

Sign Randle and Reid means that Nickeil Alexander-Walker will not return with the Timberwolves-the minnesota cannot afford to report all three with the increases. Alexander-Walker will be a free agent, probably for the medium-level exception ($ 14.1 million next season). The Clippers, Pistons and Magic are the teams that has been most attached to.
