Call me crazy, but I thought getting millions of dollars to play a professional sport should be more important than the city you are in (ACE BAILEY)

That nikka agent look like a crooked ass nikka

He’s done after the 1st contracts

The socials don't look like he's going to crash out over going to Utah

I think alotta fellas don’t want to go to the team they end up in. I was listening to Simmons pod and one of them dudes mentioned that Curry was upset when he went to Oakland. But alotta fellas got a good circle around them.

I can’t think of any agent that has had shytty a run as Omar Cooper has now established. He fukked his own kid with bad draft intel. Okoro is probably two more steps from being out the L (and that’s my Auburn breh I don’t mean that disrespectfully) (edit: Okoro is no longer repped by Omar). Ace got his nose tooted up after already taking dings to his stock from his style of play and his height. Breh also only has like 3 athletes under his wing, one of which is Babatunde Akingbola, a mf that rode the bench for like 2 straight seasons for us.

I gotta blame Ace and his fam for not dipping on Omar. Almost all of Omar’s connections are McEachern HS or local based, so I’m assuming this is how they got linked, but cmon bro.

Curry was more upset that Golden State didn't listen to him when the other teams he tried to scare off did.

Good to hear because all these players drafted should be grateful. The NBA is a dream damn near the entire population wasn't able to fulfill.

 

[tremonthustler1]

Why didn't people keep the same energy for Bronny who told us who he wasn't playing for??

I definitely did. That was by far the worst part of the entire parade. Klutch threatening to excommunicate anyone who dare try to draft Bronny before the Lakers was dirty.


Even last night, Tim Connelly said that the 2nd day of the NBA Draft allowed agents to dictate where players went. Connelly was like "20 of the 30 picks were basically determined before the 2nd round even started).

 

[Buckeye Fever]

made some bad decisions pre draft

welcome to Utah nikka.

looking at the people around him might be for the best.

Yep. Don't get mad at Utah. HE refused to workout/take meetings for some teams.

 

[tremonthustler1]

You do know that after that 1st contract, he would be a RESTRICTED free agent & that Utah could match.

There's a loophole to that.

If Utah extends the QO, Ace can simply accept it and play out his deal AND have a NTC. A couple of players have tried this,

But since everyone's scared their Achilles will explode like a shaken Coke can, most just negotiate early and then try to get out later.

because nobody cares if they succeed or not (even though they made the greatest trade of all time, right, Coli?)


the NBA is the only place a player can look at Utah and Memphis and be horrified at both outcomes for different reasons

 

[FTBS]

You are going to work for the nba, you can turn down working for the nba and go somewhere else with a more libertarian structure where teams operate independently

This is true. So is the fact that teams can choose not to sign or meet the demands of players that try to flex.

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

Honestly......Ace should see this as a blessing in disguise.

Yung bull turns 19 in August. Out of all the NBA cities, SLC probably has the lowest number of potential distractions for a teenage, Black millionaire. Even the snow bunnies are religious and racist enough to avoid breh.

Dude should focus on his craft and be the best player he can be. Volunteer and become an integral part of the community. Homeless shelters, food pantries, talking to kids at schools....all that shyt.

If Utah can build something around him, he's a hero. If he plays well but they can't build a winner......he can leave in FA and collect a big bag from (potentially) a more enticing destination.

His disappointment on draft night is PROOF the YN needs a change of scenery. He wasn't mad about the organization...lottery picks usually end up in dumpster fires. He was mad because of the social life shyt. He got plenty of time to worry about that. Broskie can't even legally buy alcohol until August 2027. Just work hard and hoop nikka. The fun shyt will come.

People always say that it's all white, but they forget that it's 20 % latino as well, those people are everywhere

Another thing people forget is that Salt Lake city is relatively liberal and modern for example Biden and Kamala had a +10-15% margin over Trump, as opposed to the rest of the state

that type of Latino don't hit the same as even the ones in Jersey

Regardless of such baseless statements, facts is 63 % is white, 67 % in the county, or 71.5 % if you count latinos. And democrats outnumber republicans.


People talk like it's just blonde gun toting racist mormons living in ranches over there. Just like people used to say that Texas is just a bunch of off-brand rednecks. While stereotypes are fun if one if just fukking around, it's misleading in any real discussion

Stereotypes have surely played too big a role in where a hooper wants to play.

Some are true. Some are not, but it’s the type of shyt NBA teams have to overcome more than in any other sports league.
