Could the Jazz Milk Washington if The Ace Saga Sours?

Bartelstein would have got him where he wanted lol. But also Bartelstein would have likely been getting him drafted as high as possible to max his earnings.

i don't think we know what ace wanted - my guess is he wanted to get as much money as possible (meaning draft as early as possible) and stay on the east coast. everything we know about what "he" wanted, has been directed by omar. but yeah, if bartelstein is handling things, he would have been drafted third by philly.

Just for the record:
The annual salary difference between being picked #3 and being picked #6 via last year's salary structure:View attachment 18953

so an average of just under $3MM/year over 4 years. without doing the math, about $11MM?

Remember when Donovan Mitchell was drafted? He was so happy. He embraced the city and fans. Going to backyard BBQ's and stuff. He was basically every fans favorite player in his early years. Only player who I ever bought their shoes. Must have felt awesome to show up to each game and see all the Mitchell jerseys and to have everyone in the arena adore you. I wonder if having an entire fanbase supporting you in that way makes you play a little bit better as well. At least during the home games.

I think that is the better route to take.

Roughly 12 million?
Decent chunk of change.

Ace is young and naive. His “agent” knows his meal ticket could be ditching him if he gets around different people. Ace will have no issue with being here imo.

I was just about to bring this up, since endorsement money is really the last argument that needs to be slain here.

Think how good Ace would be if he did not have this Cooper dude up his back side half his life giving him advice
Think how good Ace would be if he had a top ten agent handling him

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

Is that you Cooper? Did you just do a rail and get that awesome feeling of Entitlement?

Exactly

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

agree 100%. the biggest thing ace is guilty of is trusting the wrong adult(s). it's actually sorta sad.

i wish the jazz could get him without omar (and maybe they can/have/will) and really talk some sense into him. sit him down and explain in simple terms how this all works, how it benefits him to get his *** in here, and why utah isn't this horrible place so many who know nothing about it think it is.
