Jazz move their D-League affiliate renamed *Salt Lake City Stars*

Ooh, I just had another thought...what if the Stars Games were broadcast on KJZZ tv for everyone to watch for free!

It brings in local advertising, is a chance to train TV broadcast staff, and exposes the Jazz brand to a bunch of people who don't have cable tv.
 
Here's the Press Conference if anyone's interested:

Does anyone know what they did with the Stampede front office personnel. Are they pink slipped?

All they said was Jazz assistant GM Justin Zanik will continue to overseas the basketball operations as he had previously for the Stampede.


I don't see why they would suddenly sack the coaches, trainers, etc, just because they relocate?
 
Something i'd like to point out... NBA teams d-league affiliates follow their counterparts logo's pretty closely in terms of color. There's no green present in the SLC Stars logo. I wonder if the new Jazz logo is gonna be absent of the green.
 
Seems a little odd they are playing in SLC. Why compete with yourself? Why not the Sandy Stars, or the Provo Prudes?

Their arena is actually in West Valley. Obviously they think the advantages of having both teams integrated outweigh the disadvantages of canabalizing their own market. I'm sure the total revenue of a full stadium for the Stars is nowhere close to the front row revenue for the Jazz so they probably don't care about Stars profitability in a traditional way.
