Did UCLA pay him $2M?

Two improvements I would like to see in the off-season. Dre three point shooting and Tomi’s post game. Assuming they are both back I also picture more of Tomi and Z playing together. Minutes to be filled with Ben gone and Z athletic enough to guard the four. Add Mirk, Dre, and Coleman and that is a scary lineup. Now you are only finding role players to fit and with Jake, Ty, Morillo, Lee, Bilic, Jake, etc there are already available possibilities. Ty is a limited Domask role by taking a smaller guard to the paint or beating a larger man to the rim.
I assume Morez would be gone.

Alright time to drop some news
Why does this make me worry about Mirk?
I feel like we have had some information on JD, Tomi, and Z, but relatively radio silence in terms of Mirk. Is Mirk leaving us? A week or so ago, I would have laughed at myself for even entertaining that question. Now, with not much being said, I am starting to worry about our sweet prince.

"I can't tell you. Secret."
He’s projected 1st round in all the major mocks rn.
So we are losing Stoj and looking to replace him at the 3? (Sandfort?) Any more information about the money you said was coming in? Is it at much as we thought? Is it putting us up there with the top of the NCAA?
That sounds like a Kofi move. Not sure he even gets drafted. ESPN’s big board today had him as the #72 overall prospect.
Could make the $$ at Illinois.

Has Ty filled for social security yet?
Half the year for free? Seeing as he got his and left
Respectfully Andrej would be stupid to go
if we could get Sandfort to replace him all is good. Still would like to return everyone if possible.

Really surprising given his lack of shooting ability, but I guess nothing should surprise me these days.

Not sure how we didn’t see this coming
Hmmm... I guess if he would rather play in the G-League, he's entitled to go do it. I'd be surprised if he were able to crack an NBA rotation with his offensive limitations. (Shooting/tunnel vision with the ball in his hands) Hope it doesn't bite him down the road.
No one has him mocked in the first round.
Him and Mirk would be our two main offensive focal points. What better showcase vs. being on a Top 10 team constantly on national television.
Also I don’t understand haggling over NIL when the real money is in making the league eventually.
Not sure that’s the end of the world. Totally fair to atleast get feedback.
I imagine illinois can remain in the mix with him while he goes through that process and be in a spot where they understand what alternatives are and price.
Would be awesome to have him back tho

. and when your father was in the league…. I’d imagine their family isn’t… STRUGGLING at least.I'd wager Mirk/Misko are asking for Stoj's money and then some... Someone is going to pay it... It better be us.
The guys who go G League rarely re-find their place in a regular NBA rotation.
I mean look at how hard it is for KJ and TSJ to get tick.
Illinois feels a tailor made spot for him. He’d have so much lifelong fan following of a massive Illini fanbase much like what players like Ayo, TSJ, etc. enjoy today.
