Well, we’re up to 6 departures...

[Sherman20]

I said 6.5...one more and we go over the “Vegas” total.

Does that include the seniors? When JB was talking about departures, I didn’t think he was including seniors like Marek. Aren’t we at 4 not including Marek? Quincy is testing the waters so his departure is still up in the air (I think he returns). I also assume Griff is leaving but hasn’t announced it yet.

 

[CuseRunner]

Where in the hell as anyone takin pleasure in the departures of our team? Just because its talked about or people assume someone might leave doesn't mean anyone is taking pleasure in it? Lay off the pipe man...jeesh

Just saying all these people with inside info always bad news like said player is gone transferring going to the NBA never or we are not getting this recruit we are out. Why ? Negative posts are more viewed and easier to explain when good news happens instead. That's why I would rather not hear anything and let Adam Zagoria Matthew Gutierrez etc inform me or Brent Axe Mike Waters Donna Ditotta.

 

[longtimefan]

Who was the guy a couple of weeks ago insisting that it was crazy to suggest we'd get to 7 departures?

Don't know that I was the only one, but I'll cop to it.

Actually I think I objected to a comment that 8 would not be back from the current roster, but that's certainly looking like a possibility now.

However--hope springs eternal. I'm holding my breath and waiting for the dust to settle.

Dasher. You have been very happy to deliver bad news on this forum this offseason. You seem to take please in the whole team leaving and have to rebuild our roster this offseason. Just perception.

Oh Dasher does take please. He is a man of please.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Woody
Robert
JBA
Kadary
Marek
Q?

 

[PauliePeppas]

Total guess but I still think Q comes back

 

[AZOrange]

I don’t see how or why AG returns. I think he’s next followed by Frank

Literally no one (including Dasher) has taken pleasure in stating that people are leaving. Literally no one.

Continuing that theme, literally no one save for you has that perception.

What does that tell you?

Does that mean you aren't going to read the board anymore?

 

[Sherman20]

What's your take on Frank? He's the one question mark. I assume Q eventually leaves.

Most people assume Q will be back. He has a chance to get drafted next season if he works on what they tell him he needs to work on. He’s not getting drafted this year.

not getting drafted really has nothing to do with the process though

I'm just going to ignore any posts with inside information I never asked for it or wanted it. Always bad news.

So you're not going to respond to them either?

Good. You know how I feel about information-shaming.

Don't think it was you [or at least not that I recollect]. The poster I was referring to was actively calling people out for suggesting that we would have 5, 6, or more departures from various forms of attrition this offseason. The poster also insisted that there wouldn't be a transfer / immediate eligibility factor, enabling transfers to be immediately eligible without sitting out a year.

You get better and better...if you want all your info just from them then get off of here and follow those people on Twitter. Problem solved!

Exactly. Wont respond.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Exactly. Wont respond.

Are you a real person? I have asked this to a few people over the years.

 

[Briancuse]

Alan could decide he doesn’t want to play college hoops anymore and gamble on himself in the G League.


You fail to comprehend that college hoops is amateur athletics.

His dad is also an Nba asst he knows better than anyone what it takes to get to the league. He might talk him out of the gleague. He might also want to play against his brother at Duke next year.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Hes real.

Hes just your average aggressively confident sports fan who listens to talk radio and comments on Facebook posts.

He probably has a “top commenter” designation.

 

[LAOrange]

And not for nothing, I have no idea whether Griff is coming back or not. I just think he has to look at it and say, where are my minutes going to come from? One other thing, I can't tell you how upset I was about the Cole Swider news and the Lands news. I kicked my dog.

I thought you said you couldn't walk. How'd you kick your dog?

 

[Orangezoo]

So getting away from the usual CR mayhem that adds 6 pages to a thread-

Any realistic targets to add? Not wishful thinking but realistic. We inquired on Powell with no luck and landed Symir and Cole quickly. Wonder who else is on the radar?

Furthermore, I wonder if there are some late bloomer frosh in the 21 class as well.

 

[LAOrange]

I don’t see how or why AG returns. I think he’s next followed by Frank

It's entirely possible that AG's a bright young man who recognizes that, if he corrects his defensive problems and his handle, he'll get more minutes and improve his chances to be a great NBA prospect.

 

[Briancuse]

I don’t see how or why AG returns. I think he’s next followed by Frank

Where is Frank going? Right now he is playing behind a guy with the knees of an 80 year old and a talented guy but not someone who has taken the world by storm. I'd be licking my chops right now to stay.

 

[PauliePeppas]

I don’t see how or why AG returns. I think he’s next followed by Frank

Damn...I got really high hopes for Frank

 

[djorange1989]

I think we will be better than that. But don't tell anyone that I said that. I will lose my Mr meanie rep

Um, I don't like the way you said "don't tell anyone that I said that", that was mean and rude and negative and terrible and condescending and hurtful, I hate you I hate you!

Then leave...easy peasy
