Ace Bailey Didn't Fly To Utah After Being Drafted And Is In A Standoff With Danny Ainge

Does that look like a happy man? Looks like Ace Bailey is not a fan of Utah and is doing what he can to get out of there before he even gets there. Can't imagine the bad advice this kid is getting...
quote:

“The Jazz were very excited to welcome him to Utah over the weekend and that hasn’t happened yet. So he did not go there. Their other first-round pick, Walter Clayton Jr., flew to Utah on Thursday and is getting ready to go. Ace Bailey did not and there’s been minimal contact with him and the team. There’s not a crisis yet. What the Jazz are saying is, he’s not expected in Utah until the weekend and really what he needs to do is be there by Monday when their training camp for Summer League. And if he’s there, no problem, hope his Jazz career gets off to a good start. If he’s not, let’s see what actions go from there.”

If this kid refuses to show up, the NBA should step in and just ban him from the league.

How do you know that? Are you assuming that because the population there is mostly white it must be racist? Because all white people are racist, right? So, who’s the real racist here? He also didn’t want to go to Charlotte. Is Charlotte “racist as frick”?

NIL is now ruining professional sports. Twenty years ago, this kid would be thrilled to get paid millions to play basketball in SLC.

I have no problem with this. He flatly said I do not want to be a Charlotte Hornet or Utah Jazz. Charlotte respected his wishes, Utah was stupid and did not.

Well, he can flatly get over it or flatly go play somewhere in Europe.

When you get the opportunity to sign for the type of money they do fresh out of college, you lose your right to be picky and you damn sure won’t get sympathy from anyone. That goes for football as well. I didn’t agree when Ellway, Eli or Sanders did it either. I agree with the poster that said to ban them or maybe make them go play elsewhere for a couple of years and let’s see how grateful they are to hear their name called.
