The term “alternate governor” implies Danny Ainge will hold an ownership stake in the Utah Jazz. – 2:09 PM

Romeo Langford gives up the #45 jersey.
Danny Ainge takes control of Utah’s basketball operations.
It’s all starting to make sense now. pic.twitter.com/JeOOutqva7 – 2:08 PM

A little bit surprised that they made the Danny Ainge announcement on Dec. 15, but I suppose that gives some clarity to opposing teams on who the ultimate decision maker is. (It’s Danny. Well, Ryan and Danny.) – 2:05 PM

Re: Danny Ainge to Utah as CEO and overseer of basketball. We’ve seen this in all sports where the CEO seemingly holds what used to be the GM title, and the top lieutenant is now known as the GM. Is this just business title inflation, with corresponding pay raises? – 1:54 PM

I look forward to Danny Ainge doing the Celtics a solid and reuniting these two very good friends. It’s only fair after all Boston did for him. pic.twitter.com/mCrL1LcYwJ – 1:54 PM

The Jazz are exactly the kind of job Danny Ainge was looking for. Strong GM in Justin Zanik in place to run the day-to-day, with Ainge overseeing. Utah benefits from having a championship exec with decades of experience in the front office. – 1:52 PM
