This really doesn't make any sense because Donte is locked in next year at $12 million. So they don't have the option of re-signing him or not since he's already under contract. Randle is on an ok contract, but its not easy to find a big like him with a motor that can pass, shoot, and rebound like him. The only reason to trade him is his age. This is pure orange and blue kool-aid talk.

It's actually much more recently than most would think. Ayo, Malcolm, and Meyers all played in the 2023 NBA, although M&M combined for 14 games played.

Except now we got 4 Ayo, KJ, Will, and TSJ next year there will be more

He's a freak. I'm not sure I can point to another Illini I'd put above him in terms of athleticism. Been too long since the flyin Illini days --maybe in that group?

Really impressive the range of teams BU has had. Guys with great transition games, and then this past group that played methodically with historic efficiency.

Just in terms of athleticism he is probably in the same ballpark as Flying Illini Kenny Battle, Kendall Gill, Nick Anderson, Marcus Liberty, and Lowell Hamilton.

McDaniels said it and then he did it. Amazing stuff.

I hope all the hardos who are like "I can't watch the NBA, the teams don't hate each other like they used to" watched this series. It was like being transported back to 1992.

to be fair regular season NBA games are almost universally trash. playoff NBA is like a completely different sport

Just as an aside, at the end of some Timberwolves videos you hear what their media people probably thought was a wolf howl.

It is in fact a loon call. ( A waterfowl common to northern lake country.)

No, Murray is 6’4, 215 lbs. He’s not small.

There are 562 players in the NBA. Murray is ranked 471st in DRTG. That puts him in the 17% worst defenders in the entire league.

The Wow! signal was a powerful, narrowband radio signal detected on August 15, 1977, by Ohio State University's Big Ear radio telescope. It is considered the strongest candidate for a potential radio transmission from an extraterrestrial civilization, though its origin remains a subject of intense scientific debate.
