if you were working in Idaho and your kid needed some insane medical treatment for the next several years, you would likely consider going back to Utah to be near family and friends to help you emotionally.

People are forgetting his wife in all of this. Why would she care about staying in Utah? She wants to get back to her mom for support.
I'm just saying that Harper at least gave his reason for not wanting to be in Utah. Had Fisher come out and said that they were going to LA to be near his wife's family for support, there would be very little complaining from Jazz fans.

Personally, I would prefer that more people would leave SLC. I liked it a lot better before it started to grow.
