Jazz claim Joe Ingles and Jordan Hamilton off waivers.

Wow, wow, wow. Ingles is a great addition folks.

He has some defensive deficiencies and it could be more exposed in the NBA, but you can trust me there are many other reasons that make this a great move. You are going to love him. He is an ex-Barca player, a crucial member of the Boomers and he was one of the fav players of David Blatt on the last year's Euroleague champion team. He's a crafty, very smart lefty player. He has nice play-making abilities ala our precious Gordo and he is excellent at P&R offense. Actually forget all, just think a Hayward Lite with sub par defense with being less TO prone.

Two things he's even better than Hayward are his dynamic shooting(he's really good at that) and his Euro-Cuts. (plus maybe his length, 6'8" with 6'10" wingspan).

But most importantly, he is FUN to watch. Believe me if he can adapt to the NBA game, the Jazz will be even more exciting and enjoyable to watch this season. I might be over-reacting now and sound like I'm overrating him but no, I'm REALLY happy with this news.

Loving Joe's dynamic shooting so far. The way he passes up open shots is very dynamic

No it's not. We are talking about Euroleague level here. Sorry but you're talking from the typical NBA high-horse. Ingles is a well known talent who proved himself to be not maybe a star but a very beneficial player on multiple high levels. Now, he's gonna try to make it in the NBA.

From your point of view, Diamantidis or Spanoulis are worse PGs than all NBA PGs.

Still riding that NBA high horse of being completely right. Some guys just can't hang with NBA athletes. Ingles can't (unless you consider "hanging" to be just being on the court making swing passes). Poor man's Australian Luke Walton.

Have to fill a roster. If Ingles is the worst player on the team next season, I'd be very happy.

Ingles is the least of Jazz problems.
I cannot get the constant bitching about a player so unimportant.

He's getting minutes. He was the inbounder on a play that cost the Jazz the chance to send a game into O/T. Bitchin' deserved.

I see Jordan Hamilton appeared in a Reno Bighorn's box score over the weekend.

He is longer, that's a fact, so not going to argue it. Not saying he can use it or anything else but, I'm hundred percent sure that Hayward won't add inches to his wingspan anytime any soon.

The cuts; it's arguable, I've seen many cuts from Hayward the three years I've watched him, he has it. But they were never natural as Ingles can do. To me, it's that way, you can see the other way, I respect that. It's subjective.

Dynamic shooting; well, every basketball player(most players at least) has his own unique thing that they can do very well. For Ingles, this is it. The guy has a good shooting balance and can really shoot the ball off the balance, like while running, after dribble or while leaning sideways. How good is Hayward at these? He even struggled with his spot up shooting for a long time.

I don't know what did I say to get such a strong objection from you but to assure my viewpoint, I will state that I in no way think that Ingles is as good a player as Hayward is. Not even close. If my Hayward Lite phrase made you think that I think that way, forget about it. Gordo is the better player by miles in any kind of comparison.

But you said, let's be honest. I was and still am honest with the things I said.

That time someone thought Ingles was a better dynamic shooter than Hayward because he did in the Europe........

Pretty laughable since Hayward ended up being one of the best isolation scorers last year. I tried to tell y'all. What up Dalamon?

It's kind of like saying Ian Clark would be a better 3pt shooter than Hayward since his 4 year college averages where off the charts, then he gets to the NBA and he isn't nearly as good a 3pt shooter. The NBA athleticism, size, and strength changes things and some players can't adapt.

Take it easy on him ECTYA. Cy's probably watched no more than 3 Euroleague games in his entire life.

Watched no more than 3 Euroleauge games and still knew Hayward was a better dynamic shooter than Ingles.

Ingles was a good player in the Euroleague's. He has proven that he is a good player over there.

He hasn't proven he can do anything of those things in the NBA. To say he is better than Hayward at anything is insulting. Hayward has earned his respect on the NBA court and Ingles hasn't.

Ante Tomic has shown to be one of the best passing bigs in the world, through the Euroleague.

But with #CyLogic we surely can't say that he's a better passer than Enes Kanter.

What a moron, tbh.

Uhh, how is that Cy logic? My logic was that Hayward is a great player and has proven to be good at everything. Also, Cy logic involves hating everything Kanter has ever done since before he was drafted. It was another example of how accurate Cy logic usually is.

Kanter is a terrible passer and has proven to be a terrible passer. I would believe most players who have ever played competitive basketball at a professional level to probably be better passers than Kanter since Kanter has consistently proven to be an awful passer.

Just take the L dawg like you and Kanter always do.

It was hilarious last off-season to see every consistently underrate Hayward while I championed him the entire off-season and supported his re-signing. It got to bad that people thought Joe Ingles was a better "dynamic" shooter than Hayward. That's how bad it got. Glad I hear to speak common sense.
