The Timberwolves have parted ways with veteran guard Chasson Randle, the team announced in a press release.
Randle, 31, officially signed an Exhibit 10 contract with Minnesota on Friday, although the move had been rumored for several weeks. He’ll have an opportunity to earn a bonus worth up to $77.5K if he spends at least 60 days with the team’s G League affiliate in Iowa.
Randle played for five teams in four NBA seasons before heading overseas in 2021. He spent last season with AEK Athens in the Greek Basketball League, averaging 8.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 21 games.
Waiving Randle leaves the Wolves with 20 players, one short of the NBA’s offseason roster limit. They’re reportedly taking back three players from New York in the Karl-Anthony Towns trade, so at least one more spot will have to be opened before that deal can be completed.
I guess there’s only room enough for one Randle in Minnesota.
What’s crazy is that the town is big enough for both of them. There are so many houses and apartments with vacancy. Each Randle could have lived here, but MN somehow I’d still following a very old saying, that was never actually a law.
