There was never any evidence whatsoever that Wade used Dawkins as a middleman. In fact, based on the leaked recording, it appears that the middleman in the Smart recruiting was someone else.

The Advocate's title is extremely misleading.

Are you really that stupid. Here is the Dellenger article identifying the "middleman" in the Wade/Smart deal. LINK The recording between Dawkins and Wade was him complaining that it wasn't going well.

quote:

"Dude," Wade continued to Dawkins, referring to the third party involved in the recruitment. "I went to him with a [expletive] strong-arse offer about a month ago. [Expletive] strong.

"The problem was, I know why he didn't take it now, it was [expletive] tilted toward the family a little bit," Wade continued. "It was tilted toward taking care of the mom, taking care of the kid. Like it was tilted towards that. Now I know for a fact he didn't explain everything to the mom. I know now, he didn't get enough of the piece of the pie in the deal."


LINK

But hey, don't let facts get in the way of you bashing someone, it never has before.

There is literally zero evidence of Wade doing business with Dawkins. Even if you accept the hearsay statements about Naz Reid, he wasn't making that deal through Dawkins.

Nah. He's just so deep into his contrarian role he's lost track of what talking points he needs to push, all the different characters, moving parts, etc. It's a lot to take on. Cut him some slack.

No, that seems to be the word you are struggling with.

If you take the leaked transcript at face value, Wade is telling Dawkins that he (Wade) went to the middleman. It is not Dawkins saying that he met with the middleman. If Wade was dealing with Smart's handler, how was Dawkins the middleman? If Dawkins was the money source, why didn't that come out during two weeks of trial?

Please point me to the article, testimony, etc., where Dawkins was the "middleman" for Wade.

You really are too stupid to insult.

His reply will be that he's already posted it too many times and doesn't feel the need to educate you.

If you think Dawkins was the middle man for Smart after all that has come out, I don't think you do. Smart's "middle man" was his AAU coach, Shannon Forman

Wade indicated he'd made a "strong-arse offer" for Smart to a middleman, later identified as Shannon Forman by Yahoo.

Please point to something that says that, other than you. (Crickets)

The only information we have is Wade telling Dawkins that he (Wade) was communicating with Shannon Foreman, NOT DAWKINS.

There was never anything mentioned, in trial, in media leaks, etc that pegged Dawkins as the go between on Smart.

Why do you think he is talking to Dawkins?

Because he is venting to a friend??

Dawkins is the middle man. He’s an influencer. Read the dam transcripts regarding Koprivica if you’re too stupid to realize what is happening when he’s talking to Dawkins

You can't get a straight answer out of that POS, lester earl. Just its username says all you need to know about that useless bastard. Its subtle attempt to seem reasonable and fair is nothing but a farce. Yet it wonders why nobody likes its sorry, useless, lying arse.

This is literally click bait and gives no new information of any kind. It simply states that Dawkins was found guilty

Dawkins was found guilty THIS afternoon. That is literally NEW information that is in the Advocate article. They lead with the news, and the rest of the article is context. Journalists don't expect everyone to already know all of the other details, so they provide them.

Typical Advocate on this story.

While I'm not a big fan of The Advocate, there is nothing at all wrong with this story from a news perspective.

Dawkins was a middle-man for some players we were recruiting (none that were signed), he just wasn't for Smart. This isn't complicated.

For the second time

Forman is Smart.

Dawkins is the middleman. Wade is telling Dawkins that his offer is damn strong. Talk some sense into them.

Is the Rant this stupid? How is this contrarian. I thought this was common knowledge.
