I’m still in shock at the news of Gail Miller selling the Utah Jazz to local Ryan Smith. It’s something I thought could happen at some point, but I didn’t think it actually would. Certainly not this offseason! There were no rumblings of this news whatsoever until Twitter suddenly exploded with the Woj/Shams bomb.
Now that we’ve had some time to take in this news, I couldn’t help but wonder how this change might change the short term and long term future of the Jazz. Surprisingly, there are quite a few recent examples of NBA teams that have sold.
