    Could the Jazz Milk Washington if The Ace Saga Sours?

    You have to imagine that either the League Office or the Ainges are calling Paul and Bartelstein and other power agents to reverse-Omar the entire situation: "Get this kid and his family away from this dude."

    Could the Jazz Milk Washington if The Ace Saga Sours?

    I remain pretty unconcerned by all of this. Ace is following Lauri and the Jazz on social media, he's telling AJ @ BYU he'll see him soon, etc. This all seems like delusions of grandeur from an unskilled agent who thinks he's Rich Paul, without any idea as to how Rich Paul actually moves...

    Could the Jazz Milk Washington if The Ace Saga Sours?

    I don't think this has anything to do with Salt Lake as a place. I think it has to do with Washington back-channeling, "Come here and you'll be THE GUY." And his agent looks at Utah and sees Lauri, Kessler, Sexton, Keyonte, Hendricks and thinks, "Ace isn't going to be the guy there. The lane is...

    Could the Jazz Milk Washington if The Ace Saga Sours?

    Much like teachers and policing, when politicians try to play hard ball, the issue is the union.

    Could the Jazz Milk Washington if The Ace Saga Sours?

    No one’s going to see him ball if he doesn’t report.

    Could the Jazz Milk Washington if The Ace Saga Sours?

    By all accounts, he’s a really great and happy-go-lucky kid. His agent is turning him into an NBA villain - absolutely terrible for his brand and endorsements. Think Donovan would have wrapped up a shoe deal if he was similar? No way. Agent is really doing big harm, but it can be swept under...

    Utah Jazz Select Ace Bailey, Pick 5

    This sums up my thoughts. Lots of players probably feel this way, as anyone does when they have zero agency - military, missionaries, Peace Corps, whatever. But nearly all players have an experienced guide, in the form of a professional agent, who has a PR team and knows the industry. The...

    Could the Jazz Milk Washington if The Ace Saga Sours?

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

    Could the Jazz Milk Washington if The Ace Saga Sours?

    Washington’s GM is a Presti protege. Doubt they’d do anything stupid, like giving us unprotected picks in upcoming drafts, but guess we’ll see. My bet is Ace is in a Jazz jersey on opening night and has new representation within the year.

    Utah Jazz Select Ace Bailey, Pick 5

    Bet you anything the team was Philadelphia and this is Morey leaking the story because he's pissed at Danny.

    Is Ace Bailey the best draft prospect in Utah Jazz history?

    Kon might have gone first last year. Hell, maybe even Fears.

    IF Ace Bailey is off our board… who do we pick?

    View: https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1938272680232288675 Probably as much "confirmation" as we're going to get.

    Utah Jazz Select Ace Bailey, Pick 5

    If you haven't heard Kendrick's leaked verse from the new Pharrell-produced Clipse album... Oh. My. God.

    Proud of Ryan - accountability works

    I remember your reaction when we saw Exum on the Darth Vader treadmill/ventilator set up lol.

    IF Ace Bailey is off our board… who do we pick?

    Appreciate that, Niccckkkkkky. It may have been Washington's play and Ainge the Elder screwed them, but Ainge the Younger mentioned it was two weeks ago when the FO decided the best outcome of the draft would be the two players they got and they worked to figure out how to make it happen. Then...

    Utah Jazz Select Ace Bailey, Pick 5

    Well this seals the deal for me: out of Tre, Fears and Ace, Ace was the only one who got the answer right: View: https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1lkzvag/nba_draftees_choose_between_drake_kendrick_lamar/

    Proud of Ryan - accountability works

    Corbin and Burke's rookie year were among the darkest of Jazz timelines.

    Proud of Ryan - accountability works

    Following the whiff on Cody Williams, who may still turn out to be serviceable but... yikes, it was pretty interesting to see Ryan/Danny's response. They fired two lead scouts, and they essentially demoted JZ by bringing AA over. The result? The Jazz have their best draft in years, potentially...
