Done! A major three-team trade has been finalized: the Nets have fully moved on from Reaves.

In a deal that flew under the radar, here are the details:

Brooklyn gets Julius Randle and the 28th pick;

Chicago receives Nic Claxton;

Minnesota gets the 33rd pick.

Through this trade, Minnesota created a $33 million trade exception and lowered its total payroll to $50 million below the luxury tax. By moving Randle, the freed-up cap space allows them to re-sign Ayo Dosunmu and fully move Naz Reid into the starting lineup.

Minnesota moved quickly, reaching a five-year, $112 million extension with Dosunmu. The breakdown is as follows:

2026-27 season: $19.3 million;

2027-28 season: $20.8 million;

2028-29 season: $22.4 million;

2029-30 season: $23.9 million;

2030-31 season: $25.5 million.

This player, born January 17, 2000, is a 1.93m-tall combo guard with a 2.08m wingspan. A second-round pick (38th overall) in 2021, he averaged 15.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game in about 29 minutes this postseason, shooting 50% from the field and hitting 1.7 three-pointers per game at a 42.5% clip—including a 43-point explosion in Game 4 of the first round against Denver.

As for Randle, he played 148 regular-season games for Minnesota over the past two seasons, averaging 20 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 4.9 assists. In 27 playoff games, he averaged 19.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 4 assists.

Interestingly, one U.S. media outlet commented: "With the Nets taking on Randle, they no longer have enough financial flexibility to offer a $178 million deal, making it easier for the Lakers to keep Reaves."

Reaves averaged 23.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.1 steals per game during the regular season last year, shooting 49% from the field and 36% from three. In this year's playoffs, he averaged 20 points, 4 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 1.2 blocks, shooting 40.7% from the field and 25.7% from three.

This 2021 undrafted player, who made an impressive rise, is eligible to sign a maximum five-year, $241 million extension with the Lakers this summer, or leave for up to four years and $178 million with another team.

Even though we are in an era of massive contracts, a max deal is still not easy to come by.
