3 UCLA players arrested by Chinese Police

[Techster]

In other news, UCLA vs GT game to be played between student managers.

AT the rate everything's going, the managers may have to actually play the real game...

Or, "GT walk-ons win in a walk."

I wonder if they will play. I looked at the roster, and this appears to hurt them inside the most. If they're out, Pastner just needs to have the Guards feed the Laminator inside all game.

Correct. They are all PF I believe. Charges were pressed so don’t believe they will play

There's a big baller joke here...but it's too easy...

Anyhow, here's the interesting thing. The crime happened in China, so that means if the Chinese authorities want, they can punish the players as local laws allow. If the players are lucky, they will get their hands slapped and only miss the games as punishment. However, if China wanted to, they could make a BIG deal out this and these guys could be hung up in the system for a bit.

Good thing Trump is in Asia right now...

Is it?

If true, you're going to do this in CHINA????? Not very smart. Maybe Lavar can help get this resolved quickly.

Probably some for of misunderstanding.

If charges were pressed, they are going to be lucky to get home from China.

You mean we have to pay for stuff? I thought the Nike dude took care of that for us?

 

[mstranahan]

holy crap. shoplifting in a foreign country. a country with laws & justice system that aren't smiled upon in the human rights circle. can't think of many more foolish things they could've done.

 

[jeffgt14]

Oh this is too good.

I agree it seems ridiculous, on it's face (what does that phrase mean?), that they could've misunderstood the paying arrangements. However, it could be possible it was a 'gift suite' sort of arrangement like most bowl games where they could've thought certain items were complimentary.

I imagine this was indeed some sort of misunderstanding. However, the fact that 20+ cops showed up in response (per reports), I imagine the Chinese government thought it was a big deal.

Chinese government is not going to arrest part of a US group on a public athletic tour who just met with the founder of Alibaba unless this is more than a "misunderstanding". Especially with la Prez coming to town. No unnecessary distractions. I have to believe they really screwed the pooch beyond any level of misunderstanding for this to be made public

 

[Ramblingon]

So if they are suspended for the game the playing field gets a little more level. What are these kids thinking? This includes their frosh PF and frosh center.

 

[H-Wade]

According to ESPN..

"The players are being questioned about stealing from a Louis Vuitton store that is located next to the team's hotel."

How could they think they would possibly get away with that??

 

[GTLorenzo]

When you’re a Big Baller, you do what you want....unless you’re in a Communist country and try to steal something worth more than 95% of the country makes in a year. Can you say “hard time?”

 

[bos]

LiAngelo got a Ferrari and he's stealing? Lavar is going to tear him a new one.

This has to be a huge distraction for the rest of the team. I don't care either way about UCLA, but this may ruin their season before it begins.
