Ryan Smith could also work out a 1% ownership deal.
I wouldn't doubt if that's actually what's going on here. I don't think anybody believes Dwayne Wade chose the Jazz over a piece of the Heat if everything had been equal. Smith almost certainly gave him a deal Miami wasn't offering. I wouldn't be surprised if Danny Ainge is seeking a similar offer by "looking into" an ownership stake in the Suns.
Yep and he still controls what the team does. That doesn’t happen in Phoenix.
