    IF Ace Bailey is off our board… who do we pick?

    Nah - it’s worth a good google deep dive. Started as a rumor and nothing was ever confirmed I don’t believe, but there was additional reporting/gossip that said player described here was Whitmore: View: https://www.reddit.com/r/NBA_Draft/comments/1456skn/prospect_vaping_situation/

    Jackpotting Around Podcast: Episode 40 - Tony Jones from the Athletic - Draft and Offseason Preview

    It’s because it makes it easier to watch anime videos when you don’t have ads, isn’t it? Sorry Niccckkkky, I had to get one in when you tee it up so perfectly.

    Jackpotting Around Podcast: Episode 40 - Tony Jones from the Athletic - Draft and Offseason Preview

    Agreed. He’s a really talented writer too, which I think goes unnoticed because lots of people know him via tweet. That said, dude’s taste in music is questionable. He thought GNX was a trash album - legit made me take his basketball takes a little less seriously.

    He was caught vaping too, I believe?

    IF Ace Bailey is off our board… who do we pick?

    I mean, I’m not reporting this. Maybe this is all Washington’s play. I just know it’s someone’s.

    IF Ace Bailey is off our board… who do we pick?

    You need to think strategically. If you’re the GM, trying to get a player to drop two spots without, say, taking on the worst contract in the league, a couple things have to go right: —You have to piss Philadelphia and Charlotte off enough that they skip your target player in the draft. —You...

    He hasn’t worked out with any teams.

    Jackpotting Around Podcast: Episode 40 - Tony Jones from the Athletic - Draft and Offseason Preview

    Great listen. I thought the smokescreen question at the start was such a smart one. Curious if you guys think Tony has been a target of said smokescreening. Also, I’ll just say I’m pretty convinced that Ainge and Windhorst talk regularly.

    IF Ace Bailey is off our board… who do we pick?

    If Ace posts a video of himself with a ventilator on a treadmill, looking like the love child of Steve Urkel and Darth Vader, I’ll be very concerned.

    IF Ace Bailey is off our board… who do we pick?

    You all might think this is ridiculous, but a significant part of me has a hunch that Ace is tanking his draft stock because he has a promise from a team later than 3 in the lottery. “I want to go to a team where I can shoot a lot and be the primary guy offensively” is not a statement you say...

    I'm cool with it if Ingles does the media day interview.

    The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

    You all know my stance. I think the entire thing was rigged, lottery included. I think it's why Nico wasn't fired, I think it's why the entire thing was kept secret, I think it's why the entire thing happened the same month there were national news stories about the NBA's sinking ratings. I...

    If the NBA Draft Lottery is rigged, where will we land?

    There is only one story that makes sense out of a bunch of things that didn't make sense before yesterday: --In the two weeks after widespread reporting of the NBA's viewership crisis, Luka is traded without debate or auction to the most popular franchise for very little in return in what's...

    If the NBA Draft Lottery is rigged, where will we land?

    I've always been incredibly skeptical of conspiracy theories, but I still don't find any rational explanation for the Luka trade. The only thing that makes sense to me is the league initiating and mandating the discussions, in the face of declining ratings and revenue. Then, you have LeBron...

    Following Potential 2025 Draftees

    Who let you out? We don’t like you, go away. Someone get him back down in his hole.

    Keep, Trade, or cut? (Re-sign if you will)

    Seems pretty clear from Ryan’s comments and how hungry Danny has been to keep the Favors pick, we will very likely be tanking again next year. Flagg might change that.

    Let's go!!!

    I think this is the plan, more or less, along with tankitis setting in once again. I think it has less to do with getting a top 3 pick in '26 (though that would be great) and more about not coughing up the Favors offload pick, protected 1-8. You can't give up a first round pick like that when...

    Let's go!!!

    Maybe. I think Collins is out this summer or at the deadline. Super weird exit interview - it's clear he wants a long-term deal, it's (decently) clear ZanAinge don't want to offer it. Sexton would take a bullet for Danny or Will, sit out all year to recover, and come back smiling. Like Lauri...
