The Minnesota Timberwolves are sending Julius Randle and the No. 28 pick in the NBA draft to the Brooklyn Nets as part of a three-team trade involving the Chicago Bulls.
As part of the deal, Nets center Nic Claxton will move to the Bulls, while Minnesota will receive the No. 33 pick from Brooklyn.
Draft Capital Shifts in Multi-Team Deal
The trade reshapes the draft positioning for Minnesota, which moves from the No. 28 selection in the first round to the No. 33 pick early in the second round. Brooklyn adds Randle along with a first-round pick, while Chicago brings in Claxton.
The transaction marks a notable roster move for all three teams, with established frontcourt players changing destinations and draft assets being redistributed ahead of the NBA draft.
