Our NBA's revelation master Shams Charania released the big news: The Minnesota Timberwolves, together with their All-Star Power Forward Julius Randle, has been finalized! A super contract renewal worth $100 million in 3 years! What is the concept of

? 100 million in 3 years! This is not a joke number. Especially considering that Randle is only 30 years old this year, there is still a player option worth $29.45 million in the contract. but! Who is not surprised to see the evil spirit of this year's playoffs? Randall directly transformed into a "displaced master" against the Lakers and Warriors, and used his unreasonable attack to tear the Timberwolves a breakthrough. In the regular season, he averaged 18.7 points, 7.1 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game, and soared directly to 21.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.9 assists in the playoffs, and his shooting percentage has also increased! This is a sign that no contract renewal? That's not a vision!

And, most importantly, this contract renewal came too timely! Just at the critical moment when the free agent market is about to open, Wolves and Randall locked the future ahead of schedule. Behind this is that both sides see each other's value and are eager to continue fighting side by side to impact higher honors! The significance of this contract is far more than keeping a Randall. It was like a huge rock thrown into the calm lake, causing thousands of waves! Because now, the three inside giants of the Timberwolves - Gobert, Randall, and the rising Reed II, are all staying in the team! Remember? Just a few days ago, Reed had just signed a five-year, $125 million "sky-high" contract with the team, while "Baggy" Gobert locked in $110 million for three years as early as last year. Wow! The depth of this lineup and the luxury of the inside are simply dazzling!

Think about it, in the past two years, in the "hell-level" field of the West, the Timberwolves have entered the division finals continuously, which is an amazing achievement in itself. And their biggest reliance is this "inside Great Wall" that is airtight and has both offense and defense. Last year, Towns took Gobert and Reed. This year, Towns left and Randall came, but the power of the "three insiders" configuration has only increased and not decreased! It can even be said that in the past year, they have become real "superstar mourners". James, Davis, Curry, Jokic... these giant-level opponents have all fallen in front of them!

Now, this Timberwolves, which retains their core competitiveness, is in the West in the new season, who dares to underestimate it? Their goal is definitely more than the division finals! But the other side of the coin is also a challenge. The signing of the contract made the Timberwolves' total salary "bang", and it was about to hit the second luxury tax line (205 million). This means that players like defensive champion Alexander Walker may have little hope of renewing their contracts and are likely to be put into the free market. But what's wrong with this? In order to retain the core and to win the championship, this deal is worth it! The western pattern of the new season is destined to be even more exciting because of this signing! Let’s look forward to it together!
