Marquette NBA Thread

Jae got tossed tonight. Bit of controversy.

Marcus Morris than called Jae a woman in his post game while being interviewed by a woman.

Apparently me chucked a 3 in the waning seconds with a double digit lead and it didn't sit well with the homies

Ya kant sey dat chit no moore, hey?

Was a punk move by the Knicks player to shove out of bounds like that Jae. Was lucky he was not injured.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

WFAN has been playing an audio clip this morning and the radio play-by-play man said "You don't wan to mess with him." referring to Jae Crowder of course.

[Skip Intro]

I'm in no way defending the shove, but only seeing the replay, it does seem like a bit of a punk move on Jae's part to not only go for the steal at that point, but to also immediately put up a 3.  However, I'm sure it was in response to some trash talk throughout the game, especially knowing the history between Morris and Jae

Jae curb-stomped Morris on Twitter after that.

Latest Yahoo! Sports mock draft has Markus getting picked in the first round by the Nets, which would be a nice landing spot for him.

They actually have him as the 25th pick of the second round, which is probably about right. 

And man, woulda been nice to have Nico this year.

Oof ... my bad.
Still a nice landing spot, though.

Jimmy Butler heads back to Miami to have an MRI on a shoulder injury.

A healthy Jae Crowder held out of the Memphis game last night.  Which could mean he may be moved before today's trading deadline.

Crowder to Knicks would be kind of funny

[zcg2013]

Just now announced Jae is off to Miami. This could be real interesting with those two together.

[LloydsLegs]

Awesome!  While I'd rather have MU players on different teams for the pub, I have the feeling that 1+ 1 = 3 in Miami for MU brand (and then add in DWade)

[GoldenDieners32]

Can't wait to watch jimmy and jae together

[swoopem]

So obviously Jae was inducted into the MU hall of fame on Saturday. Has Jimmy been inducted yet?

Jimmy was good but not sure he's worthy. 2x BE honorable mention isn't exactly HoF worthy to me.

[lawdog77]

Maybe they will draft Markus as well.

[Galway Eagle]

Can they convince the heat to sign DJO Vander and Buycks?

[GoldenWarrior11]

Maybe they will draft Markus as well.

Tyler Herro's success guarantees Sam Hauser as their 1st round pick in 2021.  #MarquetteSouthSorta

[Skatastrophy]

Wait until the trade deadline is over to celebrate. Still deals to be made.

[Pakuni]

Jae's going to finish his NBA career having played for every team.

This. Isn't he headed to OKC for Gallinari?

That's what Woj was saying this AM, but had an update 2 hours ago

This morning
> Miami and reps for OKC's Danilo Gallinari were working on a contract extension overnight to help finalize three-team trade, league sources tell ESPN. The challenge: Miami's desire to preserve cap space for 2021. He can become a free agent this summer. https://twitter.com/wojespn/status/1225404940161617920?s=21
