This saga is getting good. He didn’t want to go to Utah and told them. They drafted him anyway

Since then according to reports today, he has had little to no contact with them. Their other 1st round pick Walter Clayton flew to Utah already and has a presser scheduled. Bailey did not fly with him and has not said when he would show up or if he would.

Forcing NBA players to play where they don’t want to is modern day slavery

What a fricking titty baby. My first job out of college was in Alexandria, and I wasn't making anywhere near NBA lottery pick money. I've heard good things about Salt Lake City from people. Suck it up for a few years.

He should force a trade to the Pelicans. Karma.

Great. Now Dumars can trade a few future 1st round picks to the Jazz for him.

I read somewhere his agent isn’t approved by the league and his agent is your typical thug with ZERO other clients. Kid seems like a couple brain dead basketball player.

This crap is beyond stupid. You play where you're picked. I don't care if the organization is bad and you hate it.

Please let this be sarcasm.

Let him go play in Europe or China for a few years and see what he thinks of Utah then.

Yeah. Its dumb. He could fly whatever instagram girl he dates out to SLC.

He must be looking for LA or Miami type clubs.

Guess he doesn’t like hiking or skiing.

Why would anyone want this kind of shithead in their locker room? Seems like a retread Jahlil Okafor.

Before you bash this kid too much, remember that Kobe Bryant did essentially the same thing to Charlotte.

To play for a team he wants to play for, not the jazz

Wasn't Bailey crying when the Spurs passed him over ?


WTF would want to be a young millionaire and live in freaking San Antonio.


San Antonio is a diverse city with a majority Hispanic or Latino population. In 2020, the population was 63.9% Hispanic or Latino of any race, 23.4% White (non-Hispanic), 6.5% Black

Ironically, the Pels are one of the 3 teams he wanted to be drafted by per reports, which says a lot about his decision making
