The Ballad of Ace Bailey

Wanted to play for the Wizards (?)
Wanted to play for the Nets (?)
Wanted to play for the Pelicans (?)
Dissed the Sixers (?)

Told top 5 lottery teams not to draft him.

Got his lemons.

He'll be welcomed by Jazz fans with the same open arms as Kobe, Nowitzki and Rodman were. Someone will send him a house special from the Michael Jordan Pizzeria.

When the Jazz go on the road, he'll be playing for one of the most hated teams in the league.

When he eventually leaves the team to go elsewhere, he'll be hollered at mercilessly on his return to SLC.

The fun never stops.

Dear Ace,
You went to Rutgers! That didn't condition you to toil in obscurity?

Jeez,

Masai Ujiri out as Toronto Raptors president

I said to friends earlier, the stench of Edward Rogers is all over this situation.
