Minnesota’s Julius Randle, the first piece of the Lakers’ post-Kobe Bryant plans, looked like the bulldozing tone-setter the team once envisioned when it took him in the first round in 2014.

It was a huge tone-setter for what he is doing at Manchester United.

“For me, that’s a tone-setter,” Williams said of the philosophical shift in the rushing attack.

“I do aspire one day, if the right NBA situation were to come along, I do aspire to really testing myself,” Hurley told The Mike Francesa Podcast this week, adding he would only be interested “if the organization wants a tone-setter to come in and instill a culture with young players and an organization that wants to pursue championships.”

But a release would certainly open the possibility Denver’s defensive tone-setter has played his last game in navy and orange, if not in the NFL altogether.
