Bidding war is on!!!According to that agent, don’t be surprised if Brooklyn makes a hard push to get into the 3rd spot to land Bailey, who’s been at the center of a growing swirl of pre-draft intrigue. Bailey, of course, has dominated pre-draft headlines after opting out of his scheduled workout with Philadelphia, who owns the No. 3 pick, and going completely radio silent on public workouts.
But here’s what I’ve heard: Bailey has completed at least one private workout with a team he’s zeroed in on. Which team? That part’s still murky. Nobody’s confirming. But let’s just say, some believe Bailey could be hoping to find his shooting rhythm in a city known for jazz.
But it’s not just Brooklyn. New Orleans has been linked to Bailey—the interest was first reported by Kevin O’Connor weeks ago—and it’s only intensified. I’ve been told the Pelicans are very, very serious about trying to move up and make Bailey their guy.
The recent acquisition of the 23rd pick? Sources say that’s part of a larger trade package they’re preparing, potentially aimed at Philadelphia or another team ahead of them on the board.
There’s also been buzz around other teams looking to leapfrog into the top three to ensure they’re in position for Bailey.
