Dwyane Wade buys ownership stake in Utah Jazz

The article said that Smith and Wade have been friends for awhile and that Smith has been working on this since he bought the team.

I like this guy more, and more, each day. Could not be happier with how the new ownership group is doing.
That is part of what I was referencing in my previous comment about wanting to read/hear more about how this came about. My guess is it had something to do with Ryan Smith reaching out to gauge interest, possibly after Wade may have put out "feelers" to let people know he was interested in wanting to join in on ownership on any team in the NBA.

Of all the retired players out there, I can't think of anyone I would rather have as part of the ownership group, even more than former Jazz players. Dwyane is such a good guy and respected everywhere. This is great.
Always been a huge fan...it’s strange but cool.
 
Safe to say this would have never happened under the Miller ownership. Ryan Smith has been huge for Utah so far.
He’s pretty impressive. Done good things, stayed low key, doesn’t seem to go out of his lane.

imagine being one of those fans that thought he was moving the team.

I do want to see how things go when we hit a bump in the road. He’s had a charmed life as an owner so far.
 
LeBron had feelers out knowing this was going to happen and felt he had to do something during all star week to bring down the Jazz before we become the new Lakers.

So there you go, haters. Jazz are going to go over the cap and brought in D-Wade to pay for it!

Didn't see that coming. . .
 
This is going to be great for the team and the state. Having someone with his reputation promoting us can only be a positive. I hope he spends time with the players infusing his passion and work ethic.
