Did Donovan Mitchell Have Anything To Do with Dwayne Wade Owning Stake for Utah Jazz?

One source with knowledge of the situation maintained Mitchell had no
involvement in Wade purchasing a stake in the team. In any case, it’s a
move many league observers have viewed as a direct attempt by Smith to
appease Mitchell, who first formed a strong connection with Wade through
their representation at Creative Artists Agency.

“It’s a little bit of new-owner syndrome, too,” said an assistant general
manager. “You come in, and you’re immediately told, ‘The star player, you
want them to like you.'”
