Moral of the story is don't **** with Danny Ainge.

I will never understand why this dude didn't want to play for the Sixers. He could have played on an awesome team that could've had legit finals aspirations for the next few years. If he's as good as he thinks he is he would have gotten paid either way.

Now you're going to a loaded Western Conference on a team that won't sniff the top four for the entirety of your rookie contract, And most likely not make the playoffs. But enjoy your Kelly Oubre 20ppg empty stats

Like I get why somebody would not be dying to come play for the Hornets but not wanting to play on that Sixers team just doesn't make any sense to me.

He had the talent for 3 but maybe not the on-court IQ, which made some worried about his sobriety and makeup off court.

Ainge has no **** to give though.

Ace was shaken up and cried when drafted by Utah, and Murray-Boyles-on-ass shook his head and said "F-word" when drafted by the Raptors. Terrible parenting and representation abound

I completely missed the CMB dropping an F-bomb when getting drafted by the raptors.

get used to it, this is just the expected outcome when you stop drafting "students" and start drafting existing millionaires

That will be us once we realize he's putting up 20+ ppg with Utah and we stuck with the 12ppg role player with high IQ and a great attitude.

Utah had a good draft thus far, Ace Bailey and Walter Clayton Jr is a hell of a combo imo.

Ainge is a good GM not surprising at all. Ace will thrive in Utah.

Go look at Ace Bailey college stats and then go look at Marvin Bagley 3 college stats. Ace is a bust and we probably dodged a bullet and a bunch of bull.

Are we just picking random players that have nothing to do with each other? lmao.
They didn't have anything similar to one another in college.

successful millionaire is a leap. plenty of millionaire athletes have crashed rapidly. character is still important for their own sake.
