Time to get some superstars to come to Utah!

 

[MVP]

Very good news IMHO. Mitchel and D-Wade had his big brother little brother thing going, hope it will mean Mitchell staying with us forever.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Feels like potentially a big boost. Jazz will have a bit more respect on their name in the media, which may lead to an improved image down the road.

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Very awesome.

 

[Isaiah 1:13]

Cool, maybe that'll buy us some cool points and we won't be the Rodney Dangerfields of the league any more.

 

[Avery]

I don’t see how this hurts us in the least.

Make no doubts. This is F'in huge. Wade has been one of the most beloved players in the 20th century. The dude was voted the sexiest athlete alive. He throwing in his hat with the Jazz is like Jay Z joining the Nets. After all the obvious disrespect the Jazz have gotten with there domaince this year (elite hate underdog stories) D Wade backing the Jazz brings national legitimacy. This is f-in huge!

This is great. It just feels so far out of left field, but whatever, I'm still happy.

wade really wants to be Jordan Clarkson so bad. he wasn't joking.

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.
