ACE UP ATL’S SLEEVE? 🅰️👀 BAILEY CANCELS ON SIXERS ❌ SHOULD HAWKS TRADE UP? | TAG LIVE! 205
all right what’s going on everybody it’s your boy Tyler Gates aka TA July 205 back at you with another video it’s going to be a lot of videos coming out today a lot of episodes so stay tuned for that we’re going to talk about Ace Bailey possibly to the Atlanta Hawks we’re going to talk about Ace Bailey cancelling his workouts this video is mostly about Ace Bailey and what him and his team is doing in terms of canceling workouts is he going to drop to 10 is he going to drop past 10 is he going to still go in the top two three four or five because of the prospect that he is i think yes he still does so with that being said we’re going to talk about him canceling these workouts this is a really interesting interesting development especially last night i’m just having to wake up in the middle of the night and see that he’s canceled his workout with the Philadelphia 76ers now everybody wants to start hinting at possibilities that VJ Edgecom could be the pick at three and I’m not doubting that i do think that VJ Edgecom fits their team long term better than a Ace Bailey in terms of guard wing position i’m not saying that Ace Bailey cannot play the guard position but at the same time we must understand that Ace Bailey his team is doing this to try to to try to stock his value at the highest level but it’s really deto what I mean he was scheduled to meet with the with with the brass and the leadership this week um that meeting is now off espn broke this news clutch Points also also has confirmed this to be exact we did get some more draft news from Jonathan of Draft Express um ESPN’s top draft insider he did say that the Wizards Pelicans and Nets are teams to monitor as trade-up suitors if he does so happen to fall past four now the Jazz are sitting at five the Wizards are sitting at six so if he falls he falls i do think that the reason why Ace Bailey cancelled his workout with Philadelphia is because you don’t want to go into a toxic situation i’m not calling Philadelphia toxic but their their their prior season I mean their previous season excuse me was very very very toxic you had Tyrese Maxi who was in and out the lineup but mostly in the lineup and mostly carrying his team and showing why he’s now probably the next franchise player joel Embiid who supposedly is the process the franchise player the man in Philadelphia he has not shown that he’s been the man thus far yet not getting past the second round has a lot to do with that and injuries as well we understand that Jerry McCain he had a great rookie season was probably going to be named rookie of the year if he did not get injured that’s why Stefon Castle took that took that title uh I do understand that Paul George also has a lot to do with this as well you look at what Paul George has done for this 76ers team so far and it’s been little to none it’s been squashed it’s been it’s been it’s been cucumbers mashed up okay the big signing the big sign and tradeesque because they want the sign and trade form we we get it you wanted to leave LA but you say you wanted to go to LA when you won the Pacers and you wanted to leave LA and now you want the 76ers making a mess but that’s that’s that’s there’s nothing void i still love Paul George he’s one of my favorite players to ever play this game i do believe that he’s going to have a bounceback season but it may not be for the 76ers if they know what’s good for them now I think the main reason why he canceled is because it’s more of a power move from his his team it’s it’s a power move from from the Bailey draft camp over there we know he’s not canceling these workouts if he is then that that that’s kind of mindboggling to me considering that this draft process you’re going to remember forever it’s a pro it’s a draft process for a reason it’s a path to the draft for a reason because you’re going to have fun on your way to the draft you get to meet with different teams you get to meet all these famous GMs you get to meet all these famous um scouts and stuff like that for who work for these teams and get to sit down with them and tell them why they should draft you or why they should not draft you now I do understand if there are certain places that you don’t want to play we can try to get you somewhere else that you do want to play considering that you are a top private prospect in this year’s draft the second thing his cancellation has a lot to do with preference yes preference i do believe that he wants to be in a few places i do believe that the Hawks are on that list just because we are hometown favorites obviously he is from the South Fton area where I am from Atlanta Georgia he he went to Mckitron so he is over here from this area as well as Anthony Edwards is I know the struggle that they had coming up and in terms of learning the game of basketball heck I even played football with Anthony Edwards on the Atlanta Vikings 10 and under team i know i know trust me but back to Ace Bailey his preferences have a lot to do with his perspective right he doesn’t really view Philly’s perspective as one as we’re going to the playoffs next year now they could go to the playoffs next year i don’t think Ace Bailey wants to go to a playoff team because he’s afraid that he’s not going to start and get minutes right philadelphia Sixers may not be at number three for long i I don’t I I don’t think they’re ever going to get this high again they really got lucky that OKC didn’t get their pick because yeah Sam Pressie is just a he’s just a genius GM but Bailey’s agents and his team they they likely want to control where he gets drafted i I believe that the Brooklyn Nets are a team that you look at the Atlanta Hawks like I just said they homegrown talent but that’s a team that the the ownership has not come out and said anything about the current roster and the current team um Onsala who we just hired as the general manager he has not come out and said anything either about this current state of the team so what does it go to show you that the Atlanta Hawks might have some moves up their sleeve they might be trying to reboot this thing rebuild this thing around Zachary and Jaylen Johnson mention I did I did not say Tyson Daniels because you have to give him a contract extension but he’s probably going to want a lot of money right look at the season he just put up the Great Barrier Thief now understand he does match his current timeline for the Atlanta Hawks you have like I said Jaylen Johnson on yet come with Zachary but if you can get a Ace Bailey on this team to play one of your wing positions you can you can slide Zachary Ricochet to the two you could you could have Jaylen Johnson either play the three or the four or Ace Ba play the three or the four with Anaka Akungu or or a Thomas Sor with the number 22 pick now I’m imagining us trading 13 to go try to go up to the top six or seven if he slides but the the vision of you playing with Tyrese Maxi Jeremy Kane the vision of you playing with LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller the vision of you playing with Alex Sar Balah Koulali and Bub Carrington i think I like those moves as a more intriguing move right now I will say the move that I want for Ace Bailey I would love him to come to my halls but I have five preferences five preferences for Ace Bailey now I want you guys to listen up i want you guys to listen up if I can get it on my screen right here if I can get it on my screen right here there we go there we go there we go okay tyler’s top five i know you see it give it to me we’re gonna go the Memphis Grizzlies and people are going to say “Whoa whoa whoa they’re not rebuilding.” If they do decide and they get a good package for John Mar and Triple J and even Santi Adama who I’ve heard and signed trade rumors over the past week this is a guy that you can start over with with a GG Jackson with a Zack Edy already on the roster you can trade Zach La Jake Larabia excuse me so you kind of cook there because I do I do think Navy is going to be a good player but you have Jiren Jackson Jr John Moran you trade those guys away get draft assets to try to trade up to the number two pick because I do I don’t think San Antonio is going to want to trade number two unless you’re giving them a player go give them Jiren Jackson Jr i know it’s a inconerence trade so it’s going to cost you a little bit if you’re San Antonio but Jiren Jackson Jr next to Wimby I love it and for Ace Bailey you’re going to a team where you get to be the franchise player if they trade Jaw and Jiren Jackson Jr with a Gi Jackson already there I love this right you already have Cole Anthony and KCP who might get flipped i think KCP more likely than uh Cole Anthony but if if they are looking to rebuild this thing from the bottom you go get a Dylan Harper or you go get a Ace Bailey primarily Ace Bailey go get you a star wing two-way guy that can that that can that has no problem being the blame for putting the ball in the hoop that that has no problem being to blame for initiating certain things right number four give it to me y’all see it on the screen i’m going to go with the Brooklyn Nets the reason why the Brooklyn Nets are the next team is because they just need a star cam Thomas is their best player right now i don’t think Cam Thomas is going to be on the Brooklyn Nets next season and it’s going to take a lot apparently to pry Nick Claxton away from the Brooklyn Nets dariq Whitehead you know you got all the Jaylen Wilson you got all these young role players but I don’t think that they’re going to have the star potential as Ace Bailey does so what does that go to show you Ace this is the team that you might want to go to right you can attract stars you could be the Porzingis for the Nets you could try to attract stars but don’t but don’t let them push you out the door like they did Porzingis over there 20 minutes across the street this this goes to show you the Brooklyn Nets totality this goes this goes to show you that that the rebuild is going around smoothly if they trade up for Ace Bailey or he drops to eight right number three give it to me i love this team for him I’m going with the Washington Wizards yes number three i really wanted to put the number two but there’s another team I want to put number two the Washington Wizards to me you talk about Bub Carrington Alexar Blan Koulibali and Ace Bailey with Akeshan George in that starting lineup if they trade Jordan Pool you got to think about this they already traded Coos and why not trade pool two and actually go younger and have these this starting five develop because you don’t want to be back in this spot next year you want to get somebody low in in the lower in the lower to mid late 10 to 14 somebody that’s going to help out your rotation not take over these minutes because I believe a Bub George Kulabali Bailey and SAR starting five is a good starting five for Washington this is a guy who’s who can star and be what the third or fourth star in your core four that you have of Bub Sar Balo and now add Ace Bailey to that a guy that you can develop if you are Will Dawkins and crew number two the Charlotte Hornets plain and simple if you are the Charlotte Hornets I’m going to say this you need a star to go along with your other two stars in Brandon Miller and Lima Lab Ball let’s make this cycle complete let’s go get you a third star i know BJ Escom probably fits the team a little bit more because you know he’s a wing player and he can slide into that too but let’s think about this brandon Miller can play the two also lamelo we know he’s gonna play point guard right you have Ton Salon there trade Miles Bridges get him up out of there i guarantee you if you build this team build the bench primarily and get you another big man to replace Mark Williams right see what See what his marking can get you go get you a Go get you a big man at the bottom of the draft go trade back into it go get a Thomas or something like that but I primarily want you guys to go go get somebody younger who’s on the market like look at a DeAndre Aton i would love a DeAndre Aton in Charlotte to catch loss from LaMelo Ball right now now you have a lineup of Lamelo Ball Brandon Miller Ace Bailey Ton Salon and possibly DeAndre Aan or Mark Williams if he’s still there sign me up for that and then you develop that bench right you you you sign guys or trade for guys that can come off that bench and can be a valuable asset for you and I think they can be a playin team next year and possibly make the playoffs as a HC and number one who’s always going to be number one in my heart give it to me the Atlanta Hawks it’s the Atlanta Hawks and I’m going to tell you why the Atlanta Hawks make so much sense for Ace Bailey if they decide to rebuild like I mentioned the new ownership group has not come out and said anything about this current roster on Salah has not come out and said anything about this roster we just hired two senior vice presidents in in their respective positions of analytics and basically team management so what does that go to show you right there that Trey Young could be on the market and I I I I don’t want to trade Trey Young but if he wants to win and doesn’t want to be here we appreciate everything that he has done but I’m I’m trying my everything to keep him here but in the event that you do keep Trey Young and you do want Ace Bailey oh I think you could run a lineup with Trey Young out there with Rishy Shay and and and and Jaylen Johnson and Ace Bailey and and and Kongu i do think you could run a lineup out there or you could possibly even have some have some days you could probably bring him off the bench i know he doesn’t want to come off the bench but hey you in the A you competing for at least a playoff spot i think it may be a championship we can get this right we can get this right i know I I know I you know come on Mali watch makes perfect sense for our team but why not Ace Bailey atlanta needs Ace atlanta needs Ace why not him why not Atlanta trading up to go get Ace Bailey why not i think it’ll be perfect but that’s my that’s my five let me know down below is he going to cancel any more workouts do you think the Hawks should trade up for anybody and if so Ace Bailey do you think that the NBA draft is going to culminate into one of the best we’ve ever seen do you think Kevin Durant waits till draft night to get traded so he can get all the attention on him because I think so or do you think a deal gets done before then let me know
