Just in: Minnesota is sending Julius Randle and the No. 28 pick in the NBA Draft to the Brooklyn Nets in a three-team trade that sends Nic Claxton to the Chicago Bulls, sources tell ESPN. The Timberwolves will acquire Brooklyn’s No. 33 pick for Randle and No. 28.

I was wondering how Minny would manage to get rid of Randle. Only moving down 5 spots isn't that bad if they just disappear his contract. Solid pickup for Chicago as well. Not really sure that it makes sense for Brooklyn.
