He may be washed, but will still provide the Jazz more than Dok and Gay.

He's still getting paid on that contract.

Such a joy watching Joltin Joe Ingles orchestrate (a big part of anyway) erasing the Knicks 17 point lead for the win Monday night. Obviously a big part of what they’re doing over there and coach trusted him enough to keep him In during the stretch run. He finished with 17 points. 3 boards and 5 assists with a +14 in 28 minutes.
He said he’d come back better than ever and Coach Bud and the franchise were smart enough to believe him. Color me favorably surprised and impressed!

Bittersweet for sure. I would love Joe on this team. He's exactly the kind of player we need. Provide stability and that vet presence and a little smart *** edge we are missing.

Oh Hell yeah! I’m not pointing fingers though cause at the time with his age and injury a lot was in question. Just happy that we were able to get NAW.out of the deal!

Just wanted to point out that ex-Jazzman’ Ricky Rubio played in this game (1 for 4 in 12 mins). First outing this season maybe? Raul Neto rode the pine.

Remember Saben Lee from camp? Came over as part of the Bogey deal and had a couple of really impressive dunks in preseason as I recall. Most thought he’d just fall into GLeague oblivion after he got cut, but not the case at all. Been getting some good minutes in Phoenix with Booker out. He had 15 pts with 5 dimes in 29:30 last night in a win over the Nets. (Two unrelated guards named Lee in Phoenix now to keep the announcers on their toes.)
Actually he got 6 dimes and 3 of them were very good ones while 2 were more about happening to be the last guy touching the ball.
I get it why we cut him though. Beasley, Sexton, NAW and THT in rotation behind Conley and Clarkson and Ochai and Bolmaro (both younger than Lee) waiting for a chance.... Kind of a logjam of young guard behind the vet starters.

He may have set a record for the number of teams played for in six months: Pistons, Jazz, Suns twice, Raptors, Sixers and two GLeague teams.

Yeah, I saw some real playmaking ability while he was in camp and was hoping against hope that he could stay on with us. But as you say, we had a surfeit of guards and his contract was easiest to burn.
