Quote from: 79Warrior on February 02, 2026, 06:27:06 PMI do remember Crean game years ago when we had no point guard to bring the ball up due to injuries.I agree with importance of guard play, but personally I am over getting demolished at the 5 by other teams. We need a legit big man.

that was 'Action' Jackson playing point center!!! I do agree, Shaka needs a legit big...rim run, boards. (I thought Clark would be that guy) Back-up pg too.

I think it's a bigger risk to wait until after the season.

It is rare that I disagree with Brew, but if nobody else leaves the priority has to be a combo guard with size.  Because as the 26-27 roster is currently situated guards are NJ, AS, Tre, and Sean.   Injuries always happen.  You can win playing small ball, but you cannot win with poor guard play. 2003-4, Buzz's final season.

Quote from: cheebs09 on February 02, 2026, 02:42:37 PMI'd be fully onboard with that if Giannis will sit out. Unfortunately, I do not see that happening. A Dame-type of injury will make this a decade rebuild.

I've backtracked on my thinking on this - prior to the injury I thought they'd absolutely wait until the offseason. Obviously you don't take a lowball offer, but if you can unload him now, you do it for this reason. I don't think anyone other than maybe the Warriors have the assets to do this without another move, so this is incredibly complex to pull off in season.

Shaka's the coach. He needs to have the hard conversations with Hamilton, Norman and Jones. They're just not cutting it.

This is like Man in the High Castle where the US lost the war and had Japanese culture thrust upon us

Curious how many students will show up for NMD.

My question would be... can he actually play? (Like, play well?)

But his dad would just give MU all the NIL needed for the proper transfers

Quote from: We R Final Four on February 02, 2026, 05:51:24 PMWhy wasn't a big the #1 focus this past offseason?

Gold
Hamilton
Clark
Parham

That is criminal.

Sheek and Clark are two years away from meaningful production.
We need a big next year, even more than this past year.

Great transfer for Illinois, oh wait...
