Bailey at 5... Didn't he say he didn't want to goto Utah?... so did they pick him to flip/trade or just gonna tell him to stuff it and play rook.

Danny Ainge can use him as trade bait.

He is a greedy old man

Hopefully Ace makes them good enough to finish outside of the bottom 8 next season. For completely unselfish non-OKC draft pick related reasons of course.

Didn’t think for a second Ainge would give a F about Ace not wanting to go there.

They are gonna greet him on the tarmac with Karl Malone's monster truck and a 10-gallon hat.

Ace is a big winner tonight. Forced his way out of the top 3 where he won't get the mins he wants, and now he goes to a tanking team where he can chuck all day

Is this where Ace wanted to go? Based on his shuit and shirt colours, I think like Portland or something.

Watch Hornets and Jazz swap picks...

I thought this might happen. However, see if the Jazz trade Ace back to Washington or New Orleans, get some goodies, and still take Tre Johnson or Jeremiah Fears.....

I can’t picture him in Utah. I’m guessing a trade.

Why did Ace fall if he was #2 or #3 best prospect?

I don't know how the Sixers or Hornets didn't just draft the best player available.

Nice for them, will be interesting to see where he goes too.


Some people feel Utah is going to zag and pick him.

Edit: And the Ainges' picked him. They wanted Brooklyn, but it wasn't going to happen.


He could just pull an Eli Manning if he really wanted to?

I don't think anyone would be shocked to see Danny flip him before the end of the night.

That said, I could see him not giving a damn and drafting BPA

Ace seems like a halfwit.
