This is a very good development for Wade. In with a stable franchise and most likely he will have a voice that is respected and listened to.

Very cool.  Good luck to Dwyane.  Wouldn't be shocked to see more and more former players (that have wisely invested and grew their brand/worth) follow the same path.  I feel that it is inevitable that guys like LeBron and Durant inevitably purchase minority stakes with the eventual opportunity to majority own a team (not unlike MJ).

I would imagine Selig Prieb had some interest in the ownership of the Brewers.
