Sources: Wolves to trade Randle to Nets; Claxton off to Bulls - ESPN

The Brooklyn Nets are acquiring three-time All-Star forward Julius Randle from the Minnesota Timberwolves as part of a three-team deal that also will send center Nic Claxton to the Chicago Bulls, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania on Monday night.

Randle and the Wolves' No. 28 pick in Tuesday's NBA draft will go to Brooklyn, which will send its No. 33 pick to Minnesota, sources told ESPN.

The Bulls are trading forward Mo Gueye to the Timberwolves in their part of the deal, sources told ESPN's Jamal Collier.

The deal involves two of the teams — Brooklyn and Chicago — that had the most salary cap space heading into free agency. Randle's $33.3 million salary for next season is now slated for the Nets' books; Claxton's $23.3 million goes on the Bulls' ledger.

Flush with greater financial flexibility thanks to the deal, the Wolves now intend to sign forward Ayo Dosunmu to a five-year, $112 million contract that includes a player option in the fifth season, sources told Charania.

Dosunmu, a 26-year-old unrestricted free agent, was an instant fit for the Wolves after they acquired him from Chicago at the trade deadline in February, averaging 19.2 points on 50% shooting (42.5% from 3), 5.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists in the postseason, helping Minnesota stay competitive while superstar Anthony Edwards dealt with a hyperextended left knee and a bone bruise in the first round against the Denver Nuggets.

Minnesota also now will have the $15.1 million non-taxpayer midlevel exception and the $5.5 million biannual exception to fill out the roster in free agency and had a $33.3 million trade exception created, according to ESPN's Bobby Marks.

Randle, 31, will return to the Big Apple after playing five seasons with the New York Knicks
