00:00What did the Utah Jazz do?

00:02How big a cancer did they draft with the fifth pick?

00:06I'm just curious.

00:08Does he show up?

00:09Does he not show up?

00:09And why are we even talking about it?

00:12Because Ace wants headlines.

00:14I mean, obviously, Ace Bailey.

00:16Walter Clayton Jr. decided to show up and take the flight into Utah, whereas Ace Bailey did not.

00:21At the end of the day, it's going to come down to Monday.

00:23Monday's going to be, according to Brian Wendorf of ESPN, that's when he's got to be there.

00:28So that's what I'm looking at.

00:30Folks, at the end of the day, and we'll get it to my winners and losers in the NBA draft,

00:37but to me, Danny Ainge and his son were like, we're not going to get bullied.

00:42We're taking you.

00:43I thought he was one of the three best players.

00:46He was number three on my draft board.

00:48I know people are looking at Edgecombe and others, but you can't deny the talent that is Ace Bailey.

00:53I think his representation sucks.

00:56Let's be honest.

00:57Now, people want to sit there and say, he's going to hold out.

01:00He's going to hold out.

01:01All right, folks, let me ask you a question.

01:04Do you know that the number, I think the number five draft pick, I want to say the amount of money, I think is maybe $50 million over four years.

01:16You actually think that kid is going to not take $50 million?

01:21Listen, at the end of the day, Ace Bailey wants to be a star.

01:25Yes, he told, I think, multiple teams not to take him.

01:28Listen, he wanted Washington.

01:30He wanted the seven pick, which was New Orleans, and he wanted Brooklyn.

01:37He wanted an opportunity to be a star.

01:41Anyone that knows, Utah knows, Danny Ainge has been taken for five years.

01:48As the governor of Spider-Man, he's been taken.

01:50Once he got with a coincider, he pivoted.

01:52They tried to literally tank the season, had the worst record in the league, and still got screwed with the number five pick.

02:02But they still ended up with a guy that I thought was number three on my draft board.

02:05So if I'm Danny Ainge, go ahead, Ace Bailey.

02:08You want to ruin your legacy?

02:10You don't want to show up?

02:11Fine.

02:12But if I'm Danny Ainge, I'm holding firm.

02:15I'm saying you're going to sign this deal whether you like it or not.

02:18And if you want to hurt your legacy being a star, do it at someone else's expense because you are playing for the Jazz.
