Utah Jazz Select Ace Bailey, Pick 5

My whole point is that it's not a smart move. And that it's not a good look. And I do blame Ace, because he's been hearing about better options (time- and industry-tested) for years now.

Yeah, its' dumb, but Im sure he was under pressure from his family. Sadly a lot of people are going to take advantage of him in these ways and make him feel guilty if he isnt bringing everyone along.

after saying it isn't over and there is more to come, they went back to him, and he says they are still going back and forth and thinks that ultimately it will be settled and ace will sign.

Yeah, Im sure it will to.

Even if he sits out all year, he would have to re-enter the draft. He would have a huge negative perception from teams and may fall even further and still ultimately get drafted to somewhere he doesnt want to go.

I think the only possibility is if Ace's agent can convince Washington to give Utah a godfather offer for Ace, which I also highly doubt happens.
 
If Bailey refuses to play for Utah, which I don't think he will since he's already talked about playing here, I think that might ruin the franchise ... just absolutely obliterate it as a Utah team. I don't know how you come back from that after tanking a season and now not even getting your lottery pick. It would be like the Grizzlies situation when they drafted Stevie Francis, despite being told he did not want to play there. That led to the downfall of the Grizzlies in Vancouver. If Utah gets kicked in the teeth by Bailey refusing to play ... just turn out the lights and call Salt Lake a hockey town.

Wouldn’t we get two high lottery picks next year? Wouldn’t be the end of the world.

Well if I'm making a prediction: Ace doesn't bail on Utah and plays...just saying if he doesn't, it could be a ****ing nightmare for the franchise. Like, the only reason people are even remotely excited right now is because of him lmao

No way he bails
 
ESPN is making this a bigger deal than it is. They said a press conference is scheduled for Monday for the three rookies.

100% this. Ace wants to play here. He apparently told 1 team not to draft him (76ers) and that he didn't want to get the "Reed Shepard" experience. He will have a greenlight and starting from day 1.

Ace wants to play basketball. He didn't want to do it in Utah. He's going to have to and I'm sure he gets that so he'll make the best of it
 
Jazz+ or SEG+ or whatever it’s called could charge whatever they want and I’d pay it if they release a video with footage and audio of Ainge’s calls with Omar Cooper.
