Millers sell the Jazz

With new ownership can come fresh perspectives. I would venture that front office changes aren't inevitable, but some like DL might shift around in their seats a bit uncomfortably.

So wait, the whole trust thing is meaningless and/or pointless then? I don't get the whole thing now.

The pandemic likely changed their perspective a little. Having issues in other businesses likely tough to fund a basketball team that was going to have a cash shortfall the next 12 months too.
 
Well I for one am excited. The Millers seem like good folks but they weren't going to push this team over the top. If everything went right Jazz might have fallen *** backwards into a WCF like they did in 2007 otherwise it would have been an endless parade of first and second round exits.

This guy might run the team in the ground; but my read is at least he'll try to get them to the next level.

Would it though? Maybe right now, but 20 years down the line, I'm not so sure. . .

I don't know why we are even freaking out about it... there are 5-6 teams that would be waaaaaaay better relocation candidates than us.

This guy apparently said owning the Jazz was his dream... I don't think the dream was to get the team and move it so that he could make some extra money and become the biggest villain in his home state.
 
I'm pretty surprised by this. I have no idea what this means for the team.

Is this guy Mormon as well? Or can we finally get some Sunday home games?!

Always funny when people apply their favorite axe-grind to everything that happens in life. Millers sell the Jazz? Must be the players protesting! NBA ratings are down? Must be the players protesting! It's cold outside this morning? Must be the players protesting!

Aren't they probably selling the team for the same reason that most people sell anything... money? Their other businesses are probably down because of the economy and covid-19. Their advisers probably told them that the Jazz are their most valuable asset at the moment, so that's what they decided to sell.
 
The Millers saved the franchise. Now it's time for a new owner to get us a banner. This is fantastic news.

He is Mormon... couple guys I know were in his ward at BYU. They said he was a super nerd... he wins obvi.
 
Best thing that coulda happened to the franchise. Been saying here for years that the mediocrity that has stunk this place up for years trickled down all the way from ownership.
