The dumbest rule in sports; mighty Aurora; Lynx definitely are not tanking

Introduction: Host Michael Rand takes aim at the dumbest rule in
sports -- the clause in NBA contracts that allows players to earn
tens of millions of dollars more just for being named to an All-NBA
team. It made a huge difference in Karl-Anthony Towns' contract
extension, and whether Anthony Edwards makes an All-NBA team this
season will be the difference in about $43 million on his deal over
the next five seasons. Plus Rand responds to a listener query about
Twins injuries and notes the recent cooling off from Luis Arraez.
11:00: Star Tribune sports intern Noah Furtado joins Rand to talk
about three teams he's been covering lately: Minnesota Aurora,
United and Lynx. All three are trending in the right direction,
with Aurora set for a big playoff game Thursday and the other two
finding their footing. 29:00: Speaking of the Lynx, Cheryl Reeve
made it known that the team definitely isn't "tanking" for better
draft position in 2024. Eight wins in their last 11 games offer
ample evidence.
