Previously popular show Es Bailey canceled the trial 76ers and decided not to meet with any team, and Shams suspected that he might have received a promise from a team. According to the American Records Brandon "Scoop B" Robinson in an interview program, a source who knows Bailey said that Bailey just wanted to play.
The source said: "He doesn't want to avoid anything, he just wants to play, it's that simple. He respects every team in the league and regards every opportunity as a platform for growth and competition. No matter which team is called, he is willing to go."
