Rich Paul: In De’Aaron’s case, he had spent eight years in Sac. It’s pretty good, but it was time for a change. I personally wanted to place him next to Wemby to grow, right? And he thought that made a lot of sense too. It’s his choice, but that’s where he wanted to be, and I was blessed enough and able enough to make that happen. In BI’s case, he had a couple of different situations he could have gone into, and Toronto was more aggressive. We were able to get his extension done right then and there, so he doesn’t have to worry about the summer. -via YouTube / February 19, 2025
