00:00So we just got news, Joe Ranieri, from a tweet from Evan Sidery here,
00:03who's been on the program before.
00:05Ace Bailey did not fly with fellow first-round pick Walter Clayton Jr.
00:09to Utah after being drafted for Brian Windhorst of ESPN.
00:12It says Bailey is expected to show up in Salt Lake City by Monday.
00:15If he doesn't show, Bailey could be holding out from the team.
00:19So I want to start here right now.
00:21Like, this is pretty incredible where he clearly told Utah,
00:24I don't want to go there, told the Sixers, I really don't want to go there.
00:27I want to go to, like, these three teams in the bottom end of the top ten.
00:30But Danny Ainge goes, you know what?
00:31You're a really good player.
00:32I'm not passing up this opportunity.
00:33We'll make you love us here.
00:35So when you see the news coming down where Ace Bailey,
00:38and the best part about this tweet is it wasn't matter-of-fact like,
00:42oh, he's coming on a plane a little bit later on his own private jet,
00:45or don't worry about it, he'll be there Monday.
00:47We haven't gotten a lot of clear answers out of Ace Bailey's camp.
00:51What do we make to believe of this tweet now coming out, Joe?
00:55I, you know, I believe half of what you read, right?
00:58Half of what you hear, Donnie, at this point.
01:01I mean, you were still a top five pick.
01:04That's a lot of money that you're leaving out on the table here to go to what?
01:09The Brooklyn Nets?
01:10And set, like, I don't understand what you're holding out for.
01:13You can put all those teams in a blender.
01:16And, you know, congratulations.
01:18They're all the same.
01:19They're not any good here.
01:21So I don't know what the kid is doing.
01:22And we talked about it a week ago.
01:25And I said, what you're getting here is just really bad advice.
01:28The people around him not doing him any favor because there's no self-awareness with him
01:34or his camp, apparently, Donnie.
01:36And we've seen this now how many times.
01:38And we're not even talking about the best player in a draft.
01:40We're talking about a dude that was lucky to go fifth here because that's how big a question
01:45mark he is.
01:46There's nothing guaranteed that Ace Bailey is going to be an all-star in the NBA.
01:50He's not Cooper Flagg in any way, shape, or form.
01:54So I don't get it.
01:55I really don't.
