Julius Randle - LAC

^{Julius Randle - LA Clippers}

Julius Randle will return to the Clippers on the following contract:

Year 1: $37,096,000
Year 2: $35,000,000
Year 3: $35,000,000
Year 4: $33,000,000

Total: $140,096,000


Randle was a hot commodity this offseason, and ended up in committee discussion with 2 teams offering him a $140m contract: the Clippers and the Bulls. The committee was divided on whether he should return to a young Clippers team or pair up with a veteran Damian Lillard, and weighed the pros and cons of each scenario. But, it ultimately ended up not mattering, as the Bulls decided to retract their offer in order to focus their attention elsewhere this offseason. After that, the decision was each, and Randle will happily return to a Clippers team where Coach K showed a ton of effort and enthusiasm for bringing Randle back. Julius is excited to try to elevate the young players on the Clippers and get this franchise back into the playoffs.

[Mike Krzyzewski]

Welcome back Julius!

The Clippers are excited to bring back Randle long term to pair with our young backcourt duo of LaMelo and Jalen Green as well as our existing vets like Draymond and Rozier.

With this move we continue to grow in the right direction and fully expect to make our triumphant return to the playoffs this season!

Thanks to Agent Barber as well who provided excellent communication throughout.
