The Utah Jazz are hiring Danny Ainge as alternate governor and CEO, sources tell ESPN. Ainge will oversee basketball and Justin Zanik will remain GM.
Well that didn't take long. When Ainge "retired" from running the Celtics after close to 20 years, he sounded like a man who would step back into the game eventually.
Eventually came just two months into his first season post Celtics. Ainge returns to Utah where he starred collegiately at BYU. Well he doesn't really return there as he was already living there. The Jazz longtime head of Basketball Operations, Dennis Lindsey, resigned this past June.
