Julius Randle is set to receive a full trade bonus of $4.13 million following his recent trade from the New York Knicks to the Minnesota Timberwolves. This information was confirmed by Fred Katz, who tweeted details from a league source.
Randle’s bonus is part of the three-team trade that marked the end of his five-year tenure with the Knicks. He is currently in the third year of a four-year, $117 million contract, with a player option for the final year.
The All-Star forward had a strong performance last season, averaging 24 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 5 assists in 35.4 minutes per game. His impressive statistics earned him an All-Star selection for the third time.
Randle’s trade bonus reflects his value to the organization and his performance during his time in New York. As he transitions to a new team, the bonus will serve as a financial benefit amid a change in his career trajectory.
During his five seasons with the Knicks, Randle became a pivotal figure in the team’s success. He played a crucial role in establishing a competitive culture and earning a playoff berth.
