Hours after the Lakers rescinded their qualifying offer and made him an unrestricted free agent, Julius Randle is reportedly set to join the New Orleans Pelicans.
The former seventh overall pick would join a frontcourt rotation that includes All-NBA big man Anthony Davis and Nikola Mirotic. Per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski:
Free agent Julius Randle has agreed to a two-year, $18M deal with New Orleans, league sources tell ESPN. Player option second year.
The four-year veteran is coming off four seasons with the Lakers in which he averaged 13.5 points and 8.9 rebounds per game while shooting 49.3 percent from the field.
