Randle Lands with Nets in Three‑Team Swap, McDaniels and Randle’s Wife React

In a three‑team deal among the Bulls, Timberwolves and Nets, Julius Randle is traded from Minnesota to Brooklyn for the 33rd pick this year (the Wolves sent out the 28th pick), with cap savings funding Ayo Dosunmu’s five‑year, $112 million contract; Jaden McDaniels learned of the move on vacation, and Randle’s wife Kendra celebrated his return to New York after five Knicks seasons. Randle averaged 20.0 points, 6.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game in 148 starts over the past two seasons with Minnesota.
