I don't believe Oscar demanded that much money is what I meant to say.
Pilgrim said Oscar wanted 8 million from UK

Reeves and Kaluma would be great, deivi jones is okay go, he is inefficient sometimes but he is another experienced guy who can’t really hurt you
No doubt, those options are even slimmer. Ugo/bradshaw and Kaluma may be our best bet at this point, unless somto or somebody else reclasses
If it were up to me make bradshaw play the 5 and Kaluma the 4, but with cal who knows
We're at the point where a bunch of you will be so happy when Reeves returns and we add a 42% shooter like Kaluma.
Cal's made our fans desperate.

Your last sentence is why this report makes absolutely no sense. He was poised to make more money in school next season while also having the opportunity to work towards a masters.
If money was his goal why would he throw that away for overseas or g league?
NBA is collectively bargained with a union, the players are their employees, and they don’t cap endorsements. The NCAA nor anyone else can cap how much money a person makes off their name image and likeness. Players aren’t NCAA employees or employees of the school. What authority would they have to cap NIL legally?
So they did pay for play, broke the rules, and announced the deal publicly? Weird.
I dont believe the 8 mil thing. I read that Oscar by going pro not being a college student can get a different type if Visa and bring his mom to the US. I read that was a huge factor also.
Even if it had been 8 mil Cow should have gave a years salary to O for keeping him from 3 straight losing records and missed tourneys. Trust me without O it could have happened.
Hell it still would have left Cow a mil for the year. I would feel better about paying a guy like O 8 mil than Cow 9 mil for yelling run.

This thread honestly reads like a bunch of gamblers on a long losing streak trying to psyche themselves up that things aren't as truly shitty as they clearly seem to be.
Hell, we have a 9 million dollar a year coach who has no inbounds plays, and can't defend an inbounds either.
Nah they are that delusional, the dragon still posts Instagram stuff like he’s on top of the basketball world.
I don't blame Oscar. If you're going to sell your soul to come back to a program where the coaching staff won't develop, use you properly or improve your future potential in any way, then you ask for a lot. Never mind that a portion of the fan base says that we are better off without our best player of the last 2 years.
BBN - "Cal says stuff just to say stuff."
There are no rules anymore. Calipari is one of the few who pretends there are still rules, and he only does so because UK keeps whiffing on portal transfers and it's Cal's way of declaring that UK is doing it the right way.
I don't buy that for a second. Then why would he stay in the draft and end up making a fraction of that? This is just more of this administration throwing players under the bus to save face.
I totally agree with this. And now I believe Cal and UK have leaked this rumor to take some of the heat off of Cal for sitting around all spring and getting no one. I think Cal is feeling heat now, since even the media is taking about the dire situation Cal has gotten the program in.
They did the same stuff with Sharpe last year. It was the mysterious "handler's" fault.
The players change every year, but it's still soap opera drama every year.
What oh what could be the common denominator every year here? 🤔

Kind of like when the whole kneeling thing happened and Cal said in the postgame presser that the players had told him earlier in the week they wanted to do it and he said he would kneel with them. Then after fans were irate he changed his story later to they came in right before the game and it happened on the spur of the moment?
I don't trust anyone from KSR having inside knowledge of UK basketball unless he found out from Oscar's side.
Per his comments alot of info is coming straight from player's, handlers, families, etc.
Thus is what happens when you put money into the equation with 17-22 yr olds.
This NIL thing is going to divide players on all teams. And I don't believe anything Calipari says anymore.
I seriously doubt it and the way things sound team cal needs some of that nba money thrown our way.I read in a Tucker article that bruiser Flint is going to become GM. Oscar probably wanted 1 mill and we don't have it. They report 8 mik This makes Oscar look crazy instead of uk and cal looking slow.I
I don't believe any of that, these figures are so overstated, I think very few if any players receive seven figures, if you look at what HD said he got which was five figures that is more likely the reality, eight million is a absurd number, how can anyone with a brain believe that.
