Nets land Julius Randle in surprising three-team pre-draft swap
In a three-team deal, Julius Randle moves from Minnesota to the Brooklyn Nets, with the Timberwolves sending Randle and the No. 28 pick to Brooklyn; the Nets send center Nic Claxton to the Bulls, and Minnesota will receive Brooklyn’s No. 33 pick. Randle brings NYC familiarity, having spent significant time with the Knicks, and the trade was reported ahead of the 2026 NBA Draft.
