I was in college during the Derrick era, but you bet your butt I took advantage of college night

Also, in a weird way, the ranking wolves were some of my favorite years as a Wolves fan and writer. You really get to know who the true diehards are. I made a lot of close friends through the tanking Wolves era, and I think them being bad was a true correlation

Let’s go get Europe.

Well YEAH

……woulda won with Ayo

Rudy had 3 DPOYs before coming to MN, but his ability to defend the perimeter on a switch has drastically improved here

Perfection

What a good sports day

It’s a club option, but I’m guessing James will have a lot of say over whether that option is picked up or not.

Hope he gets to experience Twin Cities summers, tho.

This is the coolest shit ever

To be clear, this is a reflection of where the league is at, not anything either reporter said. Hopefully we keep seeing growth to the point where someone of James’ caliber going to MN is only newsworthy bc of how it affects MN, not how surprising it is that he didn’t pick one of the “big clubs“.

It’s important to get into how Rodriguez would have ended up on a team other than LA or Miami, but the more we can stray away from topics like this the better I think the league can become. Müeller is in Vancouver. Rodriguez is in Minnesota. The more of this, the better.

I don’t love the general tone/concept of this piece, even if I get it.

(Bogert is a phenomenal reporter, for the record).

Been waiting to see a nugget like this pop up.

Any possibility of a player/team option for the remainder of the season?

It's a crime Toffees never got to see him at Goodison. Can't wait to see him at Allianz. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuI2...

Over a decade ago now, but still one of my fav goals I've ever seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8Xs...

I could be making this up, but I thought I remembered hearing it was settled privately?

Bummed we couldn't make it a full year deal, hopefully we can convince him to stay once the World Cup is complete.

Either way, just a fun as hell signing.

My excitement levels are so high for this.

I can NOT wait to rock my James Everton jersey at the home opener.

100%. NAW's defense is borderline elite. Having him come on for Jaden was unfair.

Yes

See a lot of people suggesting Ayo will play in the “NAW role”, aka a 3-and-D guard who can handle the ball in a pinch. I think that’s pretty dead-on, but I’d also mention I think Ayo is a bit more natural on the ball than NAW. Played point guard in college and played it in spurts with the Bulls.

I thought Leonard Miller was going to be our 12th man for 15 years. End of a beautiful era.

I love this trade so much

Oh I know, no sweat!
