Could the Jazz Milk Washington if The Ace Saga Sours?

Givony is tight with agents that’s where he gets most of his intel I’m sure.

Yeah but in his case how could he not know who Ace’s real agent is?

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

The reason this **** happened is not because Ace wanted to go to a certain spot.

The reason they angled to one destination was because of what Omar wanted.

What Omar wanted was what was best for him financially and potentially costs Ace millions.

Omar is a piece of work.

Like... its Blues Clues... I'm sure you can figure it out.

 

[Schrödinger's Gerbil]

When there'd massive uncertainty, yeah they should. "Yes, he'll be here..."

Not hard lmao

I mean unless you're not sure he'll be here...

Not hard, perhaps, but also unlikely to have the nefarious connotations you seem to want to assign to it. You're trying too hard.

Nope.

The most ironic thing of this all is if Omar Cooper wasn’t involved with Ace Bailey he likely wouldn’t have fell to 5 and the Utah Jazz wouldn’t have been able to draft him.

Yeah and i don't mind that at all.

He played the game. He played his cards, and we called his bluff.

He lost. We won.

Game over.

What I don't get is Givony’s cryptic message on the pre-draft show that he knows EVERYONE is watching to stir the pot.

Just curious, is this speculation, or do you have inside info?

Lord knows that the world is full of bad faith actors who behave similarly as your describe or much, much worse. Many of them may be player agents.

Thsi story has the potential to go off the rails quickly with wild speculation stated with undeserved confidence, if it hasn't already done so.

 

[slc]

This all seems odd
Jazz should know who is a player's legit agent
Agent should have contacted every NBA team before draft
Reporters should know this info too for interviews
Very odd

Ace was clearly not the most stoked when drafted. We don't need to be blind about this. He didm want to be in Utah. He just has to accept he is in Utah, which I'm sure he has

sure, but he didn't want to be in utah like nobody wants to be in utah. nothing out of the ordinary. what made this this unusual was omar cooper.

no draft prospects, who have never spent time in utah, are sitting there thinking i sure as hell hope i get to go live in utah for at least six months every year.

Draft night it seems Ace is resigned to the fact he’s going to Utah.

His actual agent gave an interview accepting that fact too.

BUT - it seems Givony (and maybe Cooper too?) didnt want to accept that fact.

To me that’s REALLY odd.

 

[NAOS_pt2]

Holy **** dude.

Not gonna lie... I do get some entertainment when you interact with this Kqwin whenever he's dug into one of his ridiculous positions.

And then I'm always amazed at the grace and patience you have, allowing things to return to normal.

This dude is nuts in his soul, though. For real.

When your "business partner" tells you he’s getting you to Washington or Brooklyn I’m sure he was a little surprised to say the least.

 

[Schrödinger's Gerbil]

Nope.

Yep. Also, "massive uncertainty," LOL, exaggerate much?

 

[enchilada_style]

Ace needs to come ball out at summer league and let Omar go run a lemonade stand back home. It’s time to focus on basketball.

I've had multiple people reach out to me. Some super credible some less credible but def believable.

collier will get him pumped both emotionally (assuming he even needs it, which he very likely doesn't) and by setting him up on the court. they know each other as georgia basketball rivals - he'll be lucky to have IC in camp with him.

 

[KqWIN]

Holy **** dude.

You seem to think I’m disagreeing with your take on Omar. I’m not. So I’m curious to what you think our disagreement is about?

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

The tenor of the messaging coming out right now with the media blitz leads me to believe Omar saw the writing on the wall and is now riding co-pilot/backseat. It would be great if we got news in a few weeks that he was all the way out. Got a feeling he will be able to hang around though.

bailey seems like a very loyal kid. which could be good for the jazz in the long run assuming he stays that way as he gets older, but perhaps not great as it relates to omar cooper.
