I sure hope he wasn’t brought in just for Mitchell. Not good business the jazz aren’t that stupid. WTF gave you the crazy idea he was brought in for the sole purpose of keeping Don here and happy?
I think he was brought on board a little bit to appeal to Mitchell.
Not specifically Mitchell, no.
OK, I agree with all that, and maybe it wasn't a reason, but I'm guessing Ryan thought of the side benefit of having one of Donovan's mentors in the org could help retain him.
Sure, I'm sure that was talked about with Wade that he can talk to Jazz players, but it's primarily Ryan wanting to be in basketball circles and Wade wanting to be in billionaire/owner circles and how they can mutually benefit off each other's connections.
Agreed. I think Ryan's main focus was giving Donny the keys and making him happy and Wade was a key part of that.
Utah does have a lot of old mining towns that arent doing much anymore so that makes sense.
