No way. You think TNT just wants to disappear without a trace?

Wade mentioned he wanted to make a difference in the region. Also ryan smith

What does that mean? To silence all you terribly racist Jazz fans?

Jazz might be players in free agency finally. We’ll see.

Nah. That's going to be like the 10th thing players are concerned about when they sign

TNT

4/16/21 11:11am

Why would that change anything?

4/16/21 11:15am

Current players idolize former players. If DWade tells a guy “This is the place”

pink22

4/16/21 11:19am

Yeah, Jordan is doing wonders. But maybe he stinks cause he wasn't as idolized.

When free agents come to Utah for a pitch & its lead by D-Wade bearing his testimony about Utah— it changes things.

MJ owner in Charlotte. Shaq owns a piece of the pie in Sactown

You also have to be a good team to attract free agents. I thought that part was

pink22

4/16/21 11:23am

Got it... be a good team + Wade = better free agents

bluelands

4/16/21 11:39am

Hey Charlotte got Hayward to come - oops he's hurt again

Also Donovan Mitchell idolizes wade

Mostlyaccurate

I think Wade could still give the Jazz 8 minutes a night at guard.

So... Having DWade give a prayer at a baptism is paying dividends...

Good to see another former player have part ownership of a team

BIG XII Coug

4/16/21 11:23am

Based on a $1.6B purchase price for the Jazz, Wade would have needed to invest

Thrill

4/16/21 12:50pm

That was for just the majority stake.

Good point.

Were there other minority owners when he bought it from LHM Group?
