You gotta question his decision making if he willingly wants to come to the Pelicans

At least he would be getting paid by the Pelicans

We are willingly fans, at our own expense

The Wizards is a strange spot too.

Reportedly, Bailey wants a place where he will start almost immediately and where he has a chance to be a focal point on offense. Makes sense for the Wiz

I’d take him at 7. I’m at the point to where I don’t even care about the bust potential. But I doubt he gets past the Wizards.

I think he wants Brooklyn, they just don’t want to point to only one team. Plus they need to be careful as the Wiz and Pels could just take him anyway at that point in the draft.

I said in the other thread I wouldn’t drsft him for the stupid ‘uncle’ family friend whatever he hired as an agent.

And now he wants the Pels to draft him? He clearly has mental health issues. Definitely passing on him.

I’m all in on him now. Probably the only player in the draft that actually wants to be here

Well, he has to get to 7. Also, we have to select him too. We’ll see if those things happen.

Well….that’s not here.

Has to be a smoke screen by his agent to get a team to move up for him….possibly trade up a spot or two where we are?…

I think we have to get to 4 to grab him. I want Cedrick Coward! All he's done is get better and better each stop. I think he's third in the class.

so he has no interest in winning as long as he get stats. Him and Zion can do mt dew and starry commercials together.

Are you advocating we trade assets to move up for Bailey after all the shite that has come out on him? No. Just no. If he’s there at 7 that’s one thing but theres no player outside of Flagg and maybe Harper that I’m trading assets to move up for in this draft. I hope Kon falls to 7 but it looks like he won’t make it past Utah. If Kon is gone whoever is left out of Tre, Fears and Maluach.

Correct. They said they wanted to go to a place that would accelerate his stardom. Can't think of a reason that would be Nola unless they see it as him being the #1 right away and pad his stats instead of somewhere where he'd have to work to find minutes.

I think it's mixed signals. He wants to be a starter, but he doesn't want to slide past the Pelicans given the smoke of interest from Dumars.

I look at it as a big fish in a little pond type of thing. wouldn't have to do much to come in and look like a superstar on this team, then springboard that to a 2nd contract with the Lakers like most of them do.
