Just saying that is what you start out offering and see if we get outbid. If he decides to hold out and not play for Utah, then they will want to get something.

Hell no, keep that cancer away from this team
Sure, he has to be all there mentally, but he has as much upside as anyone in the draft. A mini Durant.
He is way overvalued by a lot of people. He claims 6'10 but he is 6'7 with bad BBIQ. His big skill is as a "tough shot maker" but he shot 46/34/69 in college.
The concerns about his basketball IQ seem to be dwarfed by his off-court IQ being way worse.
He and Derik Queen will be the big busts.

We've already had Royce White and Eddie Griffin (RIP) as our basket cases for the last 30 years. Plus Udoka would probably beat that guy up for this crap.CFTXAG10 said:

Rockets third-year wing Cam Whitmore has been the subject of a number of trade discussions in recent days, sources tell @TheAthletic. Situation is best described as fluid right now.

Still think cam can blow up if he matured and gets into a good situation (probably unlikely) but it doesn't seem like that'll happen here
Cam has the scoring talent, but I don't think he has the BBIQ that Udoka demands. I think that he could be a guy like John Collins and put up big stats on bad teams.
He's also super immature and his visibly poor body language concerns me. I'd be shocked if he isn't traded for whatever we can get for him.
Udoka gave up trying to appease him about halfway through last season

I could fix her
Ace Bailey did not fly with fellow first-round pick Walter Clayton Jr. to Utah after being drafted, per @WindhorstESPN.
— Evan Sidery (@esidery) June 27, 2025
Bailey is expected to show up in Salt Lake City by Monday.
If he doesn’t show, Bailey could be holding out from the team. pic.twitter.com/JVGfXa0wVT
Brothers, it's happening
I'm sure the tweet said something but every time I see Adam Silver I get creeped out and I'm immediately concerned about my child's whereabouts even if he's in the same room as me.

We have a great locker room, including our guys at the end of the bench. We should keep it that way!
There are more than a few guys who give up a finger or two to get with that crazy
Cam will mature soon. If he gets the right attitude his role will greatly increase.
Very happy to hear we are expected to re-sign Jeff Green. The vet leadership with him and KD will hopefully push us further this year. We need locker room glue guys!!!!!!!!!!!!
Building upon the continuity was a big reason we got Adams back in expensively and got FVV to make us a great deal.
Back in April FVV chartered a plane ride home the day before the team plane was returning so that Holiday could be present for his child's birth. This team is tight.

Maybe the Jazz are hoping he has the same contract savvy as when Master P represented Ricky Williams for the Saints.Texaggie7nine said:

Haha, if only. Rookies get a slot and they can make up to 120% of the slot. But that would be hilarious if they did a cheap incentive laden contract.
Ace, we took you because we think you are the most likely player to be a star. That's why we are willing to give you bonuses for All-NBA, MVP, etc. You can make DOUBLE the rookie contract if you take the minimum with these bonuses!

One of the clauses was he got $50,000 if he caught 12 touchdown passes, with Master P apparently not realizing no RB had done that in league history.
Another was the same money for 800 receiving yards - again, as a running back.
Ricky only earned about 100k in incentives from the Saints in 3 seasons.
Ricky needed to break Dickerson's record, then break his own record that he broke of Dickerson multiple times to get the max payout.
On a side note, Master P was actually a legit basketball player.

The Houston Rockets have emerged as a viable free agent landing spot for Dorian Finney-Smith, league sources tell @TheSteinLine and me, after the veteran declined his $15.4 million player option for 2025-26 with the Lakers today.

Oh interesting. Going to **** up the Lakers and add some shooting. Expert move there.
Great defensive player - would fit well with our coach.
Lots of options with a little money to spend, but this would be a good one.

Don't love that
Seems high to me.
Feels like we really struggle to objectively evaluate our own picks
