Pay Joe Ingles ,he's a coach on the court and does it all

For a bloke that was meant to be at the bottom end of our depth chart its hard to fathom the magnitude of his contributions this season. I mean, to be leading our 3pt% (with some huge baskets mind you), our go-to stopper, locker room 'glue guy', can create and/or facilitate, can run the point and provide fantastic on/off court leadership... just Wow!!

I've stated previously that I wouldn't pay him a cent more than $8Mil/yr but how can you let a guy this versatile go?? I'm a massive Burks guy but even I will concede that Ingles is far more valuable to this team.

Bravo Joe Ingles, Bravo!

I reckon he'll get offers over 15 million, I think it would be a good deal for everyone involved if he signed for 4 years at 12 million. At the start of the season with Joe Johnson joining the team I seriously wondered if there was a spot for him in the rotation, his emergence has been remarkable.

I think we will get a discount with Joe, He knows there are only a few systems in the league that he can maximize his potential in, he is happy in Utah with a young family and we should be a playoff team for years to come. Also, $10Mil US is worth about $15Mil AUS so I can't see him wanting to leave.
 
I can't see Ingles wanting to leave either. He's found a home here and seems to fit in just so well. 4 years, 40M would do the trick I think. Frontload it too. I also hope if he stays, Jesus can chime in to convince George Hill to stay as well at a decent little discount. 4 years, 80M. Wishful thinking I know but God damn I love this team and how we are built.

My fear with playing the Spurs in the playoffs going forward would be who would guard Kawhi. The monster from SMU may be a good draft pick for that reason. And then a 4/5 with the other 1st.

Yeah but 15 million in Australia don't buy you much, I spend that on a weekend down the pub. Its actually around 13.5 million, but who's missing the days of joy when we were getting $1.10 to the US dollar? If the difference between the staying and leaving is 20 million USD, i'd help him move.
 
I hope we keep Ingles as well. I love watching him play. He has heart and leaves it on the court. He is a punishing player to play against, a great locker room guy from what I hear, a linchpin on the offense, a stopper at times on defense, his steals get us half of our fast break points it seems, and I can't see him being appreciated as much on the next roster. Another team probably wouldn't want to play at his pace half the time or would see more value in athletes than him. He would fit well with the Spurs, the Jazz, and perhaps a team like the Clippers, but I don't see him wanting to play for the Clippers and I don't see the Spurs paying as much as the Jazz would.

He's got a great thing going on with an up and coming team and he is appreciated here. MANY players have left the Jazz and their careers have dropped off. It's similar with the Spurs. He will make more money now leaving perhaps, but then I fear that he is the type of player that teams like the Nets later cut because he isn't playing their style. Then he could be back in Europe in a couple of years. Otherwise, he could be a Jazz man for now for perhaps a little less but be happy and a part of a more stable business model for a long time.

Regarding Teo... does he play any defense?

I don't think we get a discount but I think we get a fair price. Don't see a team overpaying to get him... he's restricted. will get more than the mid level which is what most playoff teams can offer 8-12 per year... he stays and we likely build a statue for him when he retires.

We've been doing mass shootings and police killings in Victoria since way before it was cool. People only tend to get shot here when they don't pay their debts and normally its only a wounding. I miss the good old days when these morons were murdering each other in record numbers and the cops supervised it.
 
FA Priority for me this off season would be
1) Hayward
2) Ingles
3) Hill

I would seriously rather keep Ingles than Hill. Don't get me wrong I love what hill brings to the team I just don't think what Ingles brings is as easy to replicate.
