Do it !!!!!!!!
This is a smokescreen. They will not lose assets for Ace Bailey
I dont like the trade up & giving up Herb is ridiculous…our coaching staff can't develop talent so we don't need him
What's up Big Q DC and Lexxah Drew ๐น and the family ๐ Go Pels Man ๐ฅ
Right now Ace Bailey is not a better player than Herb Jones.
Beware this is smokescreen season right now, with that being said Joe Dumars messed up the pistons because he always had an Iverson fetish, you seen what happened to team after that trade. We should not be giving up a bunch of assets to get him, ironically we just traded an older version of Ace Bailey to the raptors, and people were saying he wasn't a good fit now all of the sudden Bailey fits this roster ๐๐๐
Joe said he wanted to work with the young core and thatโs Herb, Trey, and Zion.
