Julius Randle contract: Timberwolves forward plans to sign new deal, per report
All-Star forward Julius Randle plans to sign a new contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves, ESPN reported Sunday, June 29.
The deal is expected to be for three years and $100 million, according to the ESPN report.
Randle originally signed a four-year, $117 million contract extension in 2021 when he was with the New York Knicks. His player option for the 2025-26 season is worth $30.9 million, and he had to decide by June 29 whether to exercise that option.
The three-time All-Star was traded before the 2024 season to Minnesota, and the Knicks received Karl-Anthony Towns in the three-team swap.
Randle, 30, averaged 18.7 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 4.7 assists in 69 games for a Timberwolves team that advanced to the Western Conference Finals for the second consecutive year.
But in that series, in which the Oklahoma City Thunder eliminated the Wolves in five games, Randle scored 20 or more points in three of the five games, but scored only six and five points in Games 2 and 4, respectively, both losses.

Julius Randle, Timberwolves finalizing 3-year contract that could reach $100 million
Randle had a $30.9 million player option for next season and could have been an unrestricted free agent in 2026. He averaged 18.7 points and 7.1 rebounds per game last season, his first with the Timberwolves, and helped the team make the Western Conference finals. Randle was one of the primary pieces in the trade last fall that sent Karl-Anthony Towns from Minnesota to New York. Randle had spent five seasons with the Knicks before that trade. Advertisement A three-time All-Star, Randle has averaged 19 points and 9.1 rebounds per game in 11 seasons with the Timberwolves, Knicks, New Orleans, and the Los Angeles Lakers. The deal with Randle was the second critical decision for the Timberwolves this offseason, following an agreement Friday with Naz Reid on a reported five-year, $125 million contract after Reid declined his $15 million option. Reid, the NBA Sixth Man of the Year in 2023-24, has played his entire six-year career with the Timberwolves after going undrafted out of LSU. The 25-year-old fan favorite averaged career highs in the 2024-25 season of 27.5 minutes, 14.2 points, and 6.0 rebounds per game. Advertisement

NBA power rankings: OKC Thunder takes top billing, but who follow the champs after draft?
Just because the NBA season just ended — with the Oklahoma City Thunder claiming their first championship since relocating to the city — that doesn't mean that the balance of power across the league hasn't already shifted. The 2025 NBA Draft provided a chance for plenty of teams to infuse young talent into their rosters with the aim, aside from Oklahoma City, to become the eighth different team in as many years to win the title. Advertisement Free agency, which is right around the corner (beginning Monday, June 30), presents the next chance for teams to add to their rosters. Here are USA TODAY Sports' post-playoffs, post-NBA draft power rankings: Pre-order book on Thunder's run to NBA title More: NBA Summer League schedule 2025: When does OKC Thunder play in Salt Lake City, Las Vegas? The NBA champs have their young core in place, players like 2024-25 rookie Nikola Topić — a skilled, 19-year-old guard who didn't step on the court at all this season — and added a skilled big in Thomas Sorber at No. 15 who should develop in the program. A dynamic young team with an excellent coach in Ime Udoka just took a huge, win-now swing for an elite player in Kevin Durant. The Rockets could become very dangerous. A lot will depend on the head coach they hire, but — given the massive injury ramifications across the East — the Knicks get a boost just because they have their core healthy. Their first-round draft pick — mobile big man Joan Beringer — is an 18-year-old project who doesn't help the Timberwolves get past the conference finals hump, but they have a very good core in place. It's tough to see the Eastern Conference champs (and a team that pushed the Thunder to seven games) this far down, but Tyrese Haliburton's Achilles tear is devastating. They were bounced out of the playoffs far earlier than they wanted, but in coach Kenny Atkinson's first year, the Cavaliers led the NBA in most shooting and offensive metrics. With a full offseason to settle into the job, new coach David Adelman should create a more unified vision for the Nuggets. They'll need more depth, but Nikola Jokić remains a force. After finishing the regular season strongly, the Clippers took the Nuggets to seven games. The roster is definitely aging so the window to win is right now. With a full offseason to develop an offense that suits Luka Dončić and LeBron James, coach JJ Redick should get more out of the Lakers, whom the Timberwolves eliminated in five games in the first round. Still, L.A. needs to find a center. 10. Boston Celtics The team is undergoing a transition, with Kristaps Porziņģis and Jrue Holiday gone in luxury-tax-trimming moves and potentially more on the way out. The Achilles tear to Jayson Tatum, however, is most devastating for Boston's chances to get another title.

Golden State Warriors Adding Jimmy Butler certainly made Golden State more competitive, but the Warriors' leaders are 37 (Stephen Curry), and 35 (Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green). They broke out last season and played the Knicks very tough in the first round. They should only become more competitive as Detroit's young core continues to develop. Injuries derailed their season, but adding Desmond Bane should make the defensive-minded Magic a little more consistent with their shooting. 14. Milwaukee Bucks Giannis Antetokounmpo may be assessing his future with the Bucks, who have lost three consecutive playoff series and saw Damian Lillard suffer a torn Achilles. 15. San Antonio Spurs All of a sudden, the Spurs have a dynamic and hyper-athletic core. Victor Wembanyama is the obvious centerpiece, but Stephon Castle, No. 2 overall pick Dylan Harper and De'Aaron Fox is almost too much talent at one position. 16. Memphis Grizzlies They were able to find their replacement for Desmond Bane on a budget, trading for the rights to Washington State guard Cedric Coward at No. 11. Memphis needs to minimize turnovers. With the additions of Kristaps Porziņģis and forward Asa Newell at No. 23, the Hawks got tremendous value and may be a surprise team in the wide-open East. 18. Dallas Mavericks It's a shame Kyrie Irving will miss time with a torn anterior cruciate ligament because the fit with No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg and Anthony Davis would be fascinating to watch. 19. Chicago Bulls This feels like a team at a crossroads and one that has been middling in the play-in window. Noa Essengue is an exciting young player, but the Bulls need help now. Having struck out on Kevin Durant and having traded away Jimmy Butler, the Heat seem like a team stuck in the middle and without a clear direction. They needed play-making at guard and Kasparas Jakučionis provides plenty of it, but he's likely a few years away from consistent production. 21. Philadelphia 76ers This placement comes with a massive caveat. The 76ers have plenty of talent — young, mid-career and veterans in decline — but Philadelphia absolutely needs Joel Embiid to stay healthy. Regardless, VJ Edgecombe infuses dynamic athleticism on both ends. 22. Toronto Raptors It will be interesting to see how Brandon Ingram, who didn't play in a single game for Toronto with an ankle injury, incorporates into the offense. Same for rookie Collin Murray-Boyles, taken No. 9 overall. 23. Sacramento Kings Sacramento is a team that may be looking to offload some of its veteran pieces, potentially signaling an impending rebuild. They'll be without Kevin Durant and will have a new coach in Jordan Ott. They still need to figure out their Bradley Beal problem. 25. Portland Trail Blazers The Trail Blazers have amassed four centers, three of which are 7-footers (Donovan Clingan, Deandre Ayton, Yang Hansen). The other is Robert Williams (6-foot-9). 26. New Orleans Pelicans They actually have a lot of young and dynamic talent, with No. 13 overall pick Derik Queen being the latest piece. The fit is what's questionable. 27. Washington Wizards The trade of Jordan Poole should open up things for No. 6 overall pick Tre Johnson, but the continued development of Alex Sarr is arguably the most important piece for Washington. 28. Brooklyn Nets Brooklyn had an interesting draft, selecting five first rounders, four of which were guards. 29. Utah Jazz Danny Ainge had a tremendous draft, getting great value with wing Ace Bailey at No. 5 and guard Walter Clayton Jr. at No. 18. Frankly, there's not a whole lot about the Hornets that's exciting. They did, however, add a pair of excellent shooters in the first round of the draft in Kon Knueppel (No. 4) and Liam McNeeley (No. 29). Getting Ryan Kalkbrenner early in the second round was another high-value move. This article originally appeared on Oklahoman: NBA power rankings: Who follows champion OKC Thunder after draft?

Julius Randle Makes $100 Million Free-Agent Decision on Future With Timberwolves
Julius Randle Makes $100 Million Free-Agent Decision on Future With Timberwolves originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Timberwolves star Julius Randle came into the offseason with a number of choices, some of which were up to him and some of which would be up to the honchos running the team in Minnesota. Randle had a player option worth $31 million, and he could simply take that option and move forward, with free agency ahead in 2026, or take the option and seek an extension from the Wolves. Advertisement Or he could opt out of the final year of his contract and become a free agent, putting pressure on the team to sign him--though pressure is hard to come by, because the league is lacking in cap space. Still another choice: He could have been used in a trade. In the end, Randle and the franchise came together to work out something that benefits both sides--they agreed to a new contract altogether, with Randle signing on for three years and $100 million. Minnesota Timberwolves forward Julius Randle (30) reacts after a foul is called against the Los Angeles Lakers in the first half during game three of first round for the 2024 NBA Playoffs at Target Center. Mandatory Credit: Jesse Johnson-Imagn Images ESPN's Shams Charania reported the news. "Breaking: Three-time NBA all-star Julius Randle intends to sign a new three-year, $100M deal to stay with the Timberwolves, sources tell @ShamsCharania," ESPN wrote on Sunday. After he was traded from the Knicks in teh offseason, Randle took some time to settle in with the Timberwolves and their offense. But he got there eventually, and was outstanding down the stretch of the season. Advertisement Randle's scoring dipped after the All-Star break, from 18.9 points to 18.2, but his efficiency spiked--he shot 47.0% from the field and 32.1% from the 3-point arc before the break, but 52.3% and 39.8% after. He averaged 5.2 assists in the second half, up from 4.5 in the first. Though he had some struggles in the Western Conference finals, Timberwolves coach Chris Finch repeatedly praised Randle during the playoffs. When Randle logged a 24-point, 10-rebound, 12-assist effort in the conference semis vs the Warriors, Finch said of Randle's apssing ability, "'It's everything for us. It's been everything for our team.' This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 29, 2025, where it first appeared.
