I forgot. I thought they were the same people after that horrible contract they offered Crabbe.

Good lord
A team like the Jazz and Portland are trying to build long-term playoff teams and contenders. Their salary is very important to them. There is a lot of risk involved in bad contracts.
Brooklyn is a ****ty team who knows they are ****ty. They are just trying to get draft picks and change their culture until they can get back to having their picks (2019). Getting stuck with a bad contract is less of a risk to them the it would be for other teams.
I just want you to explain what value Brooklyn has in it's cap-space if they are in no position to make the playoffs or sign high impact UFA? If they cant do that, then their cap-space is less valuable as it pertains to signing players and more valuable as it pertains to driving up the price for other players, to hamstring other teams.
You mean that incredibly smart contract they designed perfectly so Portland would still match it.
If I wasn't broke I'd take a wager that keeping Ingles costs 15per year at least.
What I'm afraid about with Ingles' contract is that he turns into another Crabbe/Harkless/Turner/Leuer/Leonard/Deng/etc... And the problem won't be that the guy is a bad player, none of those are bad per se, but they are contracts their team cannot afford to give and/or arguably they don't deserve.
Very impressive shooting numbers (45% on threes through all four years) but why so few attempts? 1.3, 1.3, 1.9 and finally 3.9 3PTA/game.
How's his defense? I like his ball handling and intensity at least from the highlights.

Ingles is staying put 4/40ish... book it. He's not the kind of guy who will get stupid money. Crabbe got lucky that literally every team had max space and bottom feeders had no one to take their cash. The space is much more constricted this year and Ingles isn't the right age to pay more expecting some upside.

Supposedly his defense is great... can't say I've watched him. Lots of 3 and D types this draft. May as well get a couple of them in and hope one pans out.
I'm not sure I'd give him that either. I'm thinking I'm putting the limit to about the MLE. In a career year at age 29 he was a 7/3/3 player. Sure he's a great teammate and he's a great shooter, sure he defended well, but damn, am I the only one who thinks giving 10-12% of our capspace for 7/3/3 player who might never have a season as good as this one because he's entering his 30s(and because he's never ever shot this well before) is too much? And I love Ingles. And I want him back... I just don't think you pay 10+M for this type of player.
All I'd like to see is do this off-season is add toughness, nastiness, some rebounding at the backup big spots and maybe more perimeter shooting. If he can bring two of those things, bring him in.
