I love when NBA teams resort to college recruiting tactics to sign free agents. You wouldn’t think millionaire NBA player would hang their decision on whether or not a team photoshopped a banner with them in a jersey, but here we are.
It’s like when Nick Saban lets the 5-star recruit try on a Bama jersey with his name already on the back. Works for high schoolers, so I guess it must work for the 27-year-old NBA superstar.
Have confirmed that this banner is legit, has been put up with other players' on drive outside of AmericanAirlines Arena. pic.twitter.com/LjJZoOIrEr

That’s Pat Riley’s thinking. Just like Rachel Nichols said in her IG post above: “Always be closing” aka “here’s a photo of what you’d look like in our jersey. Looks good, right? Right?!”
Can’t wait to see what Danny Ainge has up his sleeve.

Jazz fans are finding it cute
Frankly I'm embarrassed for the @MiamiHEAT for their tiny signage. #stayward #realteamsbuildbillboards pic.twitter.com/YNlc532DU2
