Here is what the Timberwolves roster and payroll look like after the Julius Randle trade The Wolves now have a ton of flexibility for signings and trades including access to the full mid-level exception if they want it but it would hard cap at the first apron

One aspect of the Timberwolves Julius Randle trade ... this clears room for the Wolves to re-sign Ayo Dosunmu, whose new deal with the team will likely be done soon.

Farewell Julius Randle, sometimes you were good, sometimes you were bad, at the end you were really very bad, but every time you gave us those Goosebumps

The Knicks signed Julius Randle because they lost Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant to the Nets In the same week, seven years later, the Knicks are Champions and Randle is in Brooklyn

goodbye julius randle, i will always remember you as a guy who is objectively better at basketball than it ever felt like while watching you.

Timberwolves salary cap situation after trading Julius Randle. Re-signing Ayo Dosunmu should be much easier now. They are now operating as a below-apron team. Not only do they open up exceptions, but also the ability to take back significantly more salaries in a trade.

I'm going to miss Julius Randle. I did like him for a long time even though he became a very frustrating player with moody vibes and didn't deliver in the playoffs this year. I'm also going to miss the reacts from his son Kyden. I bet he'll be a good addition for the Nets.

My guess is that more moves are coming. Interesting to see the Wolves move what became 21 to get off Mike Conley, that bumped them to 28, now they get off 28 to get off Julius Randle to get to 33. The winner, Naz Reid, who is finally getting the chance to be the starter.

Trade summary, per Shams Charania: Nets get - Julius Randle, No. 28 pick Bulls get - Nic Claxton Wolves get - No. 33 pick
