Agreed. This "Give Omar a job" nonsense makes it make sense now.

First round controlled by Silver, second round controlled by agents - great sport.

"Thanks for everything Omar. Our fanbase has been through a year of hell that you just extended and you clearly don't have any idea what happens at the NBA at the professional level, since you aren't a professional. After watching you do your best trying to destroy another young career, we'd...

Yes. Tony reported in the article linked above that how Omar has moved here may reach the upper echelons of league brass.

Reading between the lines, sounds like Omar angled for (and possibly received) signing bonus promises for himself from Washington or New Orleans. If that's the case, it would be a major scandal that would likely result in league penalites toward those teams and Omar being blacklisted.

Tony seems unconcerned, says this happens all the time: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6454997/2025/06/27/ace-bailey-utah-jazz-nba-draft/

The writing in that show was incredible.

Omar thinks he's Stringer Bell, but he's actually the dude taking notes on the criminal ****ing conspiracy.

Then he'd be a Spur and we'd have Kon lol.

Locke on weekend vacation, Windhorst playing cards close to vest to keep his sources flowing with info... sounds like the window is wide open for EMERGENCY POD!

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."

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...

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...

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

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

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...

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...

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

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.

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