You're the GM this offseason. What do you do?

Ingles is absolutely starter quality, you'd be hard pressed to find 30 better wings than Ingles in the league. I think he's also the perfect kind of guy to have if you manage to snag yourself a 2nd shot creator to put beside Mitchell since he can do everything to a high level but not an elite level to take pressure off the two.

Maybe, and the Jazz may figure that as well and target Middleton from day 1.

Someone sell me on why Middleton would be good for the Jazz because to me the biggest need from a max/near max guy in the offseason should be another player who can create for themselves or others and Middleton has a bit of a rep for completely disappearing for stretches of games and can't really create for himself or for others.

If only player contracts worked in isolation of their teammates’ contracts and the salary cap like that.

Giannis $25
Bledsoe $15.6

Brogdon $28
Middleton $33
Lopez $15

That's the worst case scenario. Add in Ilyasova ($7), Snell ($11.5) and their rookie and small contracts, and they are still only around $140 million. To keep the whole team intact, they go into the luxury for the first time. It's worth it.

Not going to say he's worth the max, but we'll have to overpay to get anyone. I don't know if its Middleton disappearing or more of Giannis just taking over nowadays. Per36 Middleton averaged 21 points this year, his highest rate ever. With Middleton you get a 6'7" above average wing defender to throw at the elites like Harden, Durant, etc. Of course the big thing you get is a high volume 39% career three point shooter.

Are we ignoring George Hill’s contract?
 
It's not really a team option or anything just that his contract states that he is only owed $1 mil if his contract is waived before July 2nd this year, otherwise he's guaranteed the full $18 mil

edit: I remember there being talk of Milwaukee making the Hill move to free up cap.

Yep. They dumped Henson and a pick to save 2019 money. Money for keeping more important players.
