Like I said yesterday.. Trump being there now could work heavily in their favor or heavily against them... he's such a wildcard that you never know.
But so far they seem to have gotten the best outcome in regards to bail. Hopefully they just stick em on a plane and tell the 3 of them they are never welcome back.
UCLA, if they want to uphold the standards of integrity that are surely plaster all over their walls, have to either heavily suspend or expel the 3 of them. No other way around it. |

Nah, probably not Kobe. I’d bet on Stephon Marbury |

not that it matters, but pretty sure the Georgia Tech game is not a preseason game....it's their 1st game of the season. |

| Probably only one of them walked off with something and the other 2 were implicated by being there messing around. I hope the truth comes out and none of them get overly punished for hanging with a teammate that got stupid. |

| Under house arrest, and won't play in the game. I'm sure there is some behind the scenes negotiating to get this thing resolved. |

I'm worried UCLA will treat Liangelo with kid gloves because they don't want to lose Lamelo
Not that the kid's life should be ruined, but there has to be some accountability. |

I don't think Lamelo will be eligible for UCLA due to signature shoe. NCAA wont change the rule for one person as it will set a precedent. He will probably play overseas for a year like Mudiay, I guess.

Saga is most likely close to an end. Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that probable punishment for the three is 20 days house arrest in the hotel they are staying and being barred from returning to China after their time is served.
Good to know that this drama is likely behind the ball family. I would hate for Lonzo to be distracted with this. He needs to concentrate on his shooting as it is!

How stupid can one be to commit a crime in a foreign country, where you can't even understand the language. 
Did he get a Big Baller Bail?

LiAngelo Ball, Cody Riley and Jalen Hill will remain in Hangzhou and not be on the UCLA team flight back to Los Angeles on Saturday night, multiple sources tell ESPN. They could be in Hangzhou for "a week or two" according to another source familiar with the investigation. |
| Quote: | Arash Markazi
ESPN Senior Writer
A source familiar with the investigation says there is surveillance footage of the players shoplifting from three stores inside of a high-end shopping center next to the team's hotel in Hangzhou, which includes Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Yves Saint Laurent and Salvatore Ferragamo. |

Ultimately LaVar will end up paying millions to China. You can probably buy your way out. The other kids? Not sure. Sad but true.

man, if I was a political adviser to the White House.....I would advise the president to get involved to get them home. It would be fairly easy....and a lot of good press from demographics that he polls extremely low in....West Coast, under 24, minority groups....and it never hurts to have big mouth Lavar thanking you!
Yes, that is political...but not partisan. If I was someone that wanted to hold statewide office in CA, I would also see if I could help....I am sure there is a ton of business between CA and China. |
