Ryan Smith is all of us and that’s why he’ll be great

What is that gate? It’s the one that let’s you inside everything the Jazz front office is doing. The draft board, free agency plans, coaching decisions, everything. He’ll get to walk through the war room where important decisions and phone calls are made. He’ll find out about the trades that almost happened, and the trades they’re trying to make. And he’ll have a say in all of that now.
Oh to be Ryan Smith during those moments.
