Could the Jazz Milk Washington if The Ace Saga Sours?

Jazz have his rights for the next 4 years. So, he would forfeit playing for years and collecting $40MM.

Someone did answer it. No, they can't do that. The Jazz own the rights to Ace whether they sign or not.

Draft Rights​

When a team selects a player in the NBA Draft, they gain that player's exclusive NBA rights. This means:

• No other NBA team can sign that player unless his rights are traded.
• The team holds those rights indefinitely if the player goes overseas or doesn’t sign right away (e.g., “draft-and-stash” internationals).

After a year, if the Jazz offer a Required Tender and he rejects it, they retain his rights for another year. At the end of that year, they can offer another Required Tender, and retain his rights for yet another year.

The Jazz can prevent him from re-entering the draft indefinitely by just repeatedly offering Required Tenders each year.

I just googled this.

If an NBA prospect is drafted but chooses not to sign with the drafting team, they will remain under the exclusive draft rights of that team for one year. During this period, the player cannot sign with another NBA team. They have the option to re-enter the draft the following year, or they can become a restricted free agent if the drafting team tenders a qualifying offer

It’s basically a game of chicken right now to see who blinks first.

It's more like the agent running into a wall repeatedly until he figures out the wall isn't moving and he concedes.

Won't happen. Don't worry about it

Unless he can get the Wizard to make an offer the Jazz cannot refuse.

Ace Bailey for Tre Johnson, and a future first

Who says no?

Goes both ways though, Ace can refuse to report holding the Jazz hostage for years.

Jazz do. They were never that high on Tre over concerns of his defense. Believe the guys talked about that on jackpotting around

 

[HadAnEffectHere]

Ace is going to love it here, no passing or defense required. The team just needs to explain that passing is illegal in Utah and Ace will become the #1 fan.

How about:

Ace for Tre and 2 future firsts?

 

[Bodhi]

So the Wizards have some leverage in this
They can make any offer they want Take it or leave

That’s how you read that?

Seems like if it's only one year players can create chaos
What if every player sat out the year and then decided where they wanted to go

I think they sit out a year and then enter the next draft. They still don't decide where they go.
Would be kind of funny if a player did that and then the same team drafted him again the next year lol
