Stokes

[Buckwheat Otay Is Dead]

Haha, Zero chance Pope is landing any 5* after this current debacle! Studs don’t want split time between the court and the bench!

Anyone can dunk against short people. Stokes sucks, he money grubbing bum. He must be a Morman. He goes to the highest bidder.

I hope everyone understands this is sarcasm and reps some on this board

 

[Buckwheat Otay Is Dead]

I hope Stokes waits until May. Maybe we get a new coach by then who has the skills necessary to be able to land a player like him.

The donors love Pope. The donors don’t know you exist. End of story

Wil never play a second at UK.

Another plate of crow after JQ plays cause you are a light weight in predictions

Thinking about Pope pulling up to Stokes' crib with a chess board makes me chuckle.

Pope and this dude would be the oddest pairing imaginable.

That’s why it’s gonna work

 

[BlueBlood96Cat]

Don't like this.

I love it

 

[BlueBlood96Cat]

I’m good with work release on game days at this point.

Even if it’s just for the weekend games

Trite non sequitur.

Let me guess it’s all fine rah rah even after mountains of rumors it’s just kid stuff everyone is wrong. Nothing to see.

You aren’t objective you’re just extreme in the same direction every time.

You literally misinterpreted and twisted my post to fit your negative outlook on everything as usual. I said him clapping back to a student section is absolutely the biggest non issue any player we are recruiting could ever have. Just a complete non issue.

 

[Btoddisabish]

Yeah this dance to the student section is definitely not a red flag.

It’s not just this dance to the student section. It’s a constant for him the entire game every single game.

Ya know what, I am too at this point. Lol several years ago Kentavious Caldwell-Pope had a work release situation with the lakers. He was let out of jail for practice and games but couldn’t play in games outside of California.

You can see Jason Hart in the video.

Hmm, I guess what I’d say is Boogie is probably an exception and it could have gone south. Boogie has a totally different personality though. Not all head cases are the same. Boogie went through real sht growing up and didn’t even play basketball until he was older. Simple case of being in flight/ fight/ fight (in his case) mode growing up . I get the sense that this guy is different. Seems to always have an issue everywhere he goes and he’s been pampered for a long time, or so I’ve heard. Also heard a lot about his outside of basketball stuff and it’s nothing like Boogie. Boogie wasn’t involved in a lot of outside nonsense. Speculative.

Interestingly, you just described John Wall, who was the other side of the coin of Cousins, in terms of trouble during the high school years.

Waiting for Hart to come through for us.

Character issues blah, blah, blah. We CLEARLY want Stokes if we can get him. If we don't it's a big miss. I don't want to hear any "we didn't want him", "better off without him", etc

I hate to say but I think you will be waiting a long time.

Trite non sequitur.

I like the "trite non sequitur." Meaning a non sequitur like stating "he is a top 5 draft pick" when the question is: "Is he one of the best players in college basketball?" The two things are not the same but many seem to confuse the two - looking at you Matt Jones (smart guy, good radio show, but never understood the difference ).

You won't hear it from me.

We NEED to land a big fish. And I think we've put ourselves in a position where we can't cry over some character issues.

One man's character issues is another man's Demarcus Cousins.

Having players with an edge to them is something we need. The current roster needs an Antoine Walker or a Jamaal Magloire to cut through the noise and mix it up. We get everyone's best shot. I want players who opponents are afraid of. In 2011-2012, every opponent knew that MKG would throw down if they crossed the line. They also knew that AD was just a help side rotation away, and that he would alter or block a good percentage of post attempts.
