I didn't see where this is being discussed, if at all, but Bailey is not doing himself any favors and I believe he is being steered poorly by his management/entourage. Utah, and SLC in particular, is certainly not known for their nightlife, but this is the profession he chose and this is the infrastructure in place by which to gain employment...and millions of dollars more than if he had stayed at Rutgers.

Bailey is an early entry and the NBA CBA outlines that the drafting team holds a players rights until one year following their auto-eligibility draft. That means June 2027. If he decides to play overseas, The Jazz would retain his rights until one year after his overseas contract expires.

Finally, NBA franchises are worth billions and lottery players are virtually guaranteed eight figures. The Jazz aren't losing much and The Association is not about to set precedent by allowing a 20 year old kid with an attitude and no track record to force their hand.

Of course there are now reports that Bailey will report by Monday.
