Slo Mo Joe

We really really need to bring this dude back. Great personality, everyone loves him, and he actually turned into a good basketball player too.

I was just listening to DJ and pk interview him on their morning show. He is the best interview ever. DJ and pk both loved every minute of it (I did too), he uses just the right amount of humour and seriousness. I lol'd multiple times during the interview.
They brought up the booker tweets at kanter and asked Joe what level of anger the team was at with kanter. Joe said that the team was as angry and upset at kanter as he has ever seen in his years of playing basketball. Basically everyone on the team was pissed. He said that everyone liked Kanter when he was on the team and that kanter was/is a good player. He said that the things kanter said about the Jazz organization, fans, city, teammates, and coaches were all lies. He said how much he loves the city, fans, coaches and organization and really really wants to be here. Talked about how grateful he is to have played here and that he thinks if not for the jazz then no one would have picked him up.

He seems to be the type of person that will captivate a whole room and have everyone wrapped around his finger whenever he wants. Those types of people are rare in this world. (I have known 2 people that have that ability, one male and one female..... super charismatic people that make you feel like the sun is shining on you and you are the most important person in the world when they are talking to you. I wish I possessed that skill)

Jingles is becoming one of my favorite players...... and I hated that he was on the team early in the year and never wanted to see him on the court.
He has won me over with his personality AND his play on the court.
Hell I would even drop $120 on his jersey if there was one available to buy and I don't even know what number he wears. (It would have to be after he signs another contract with the jazz so I know he will be sticking around)

Personally I have never felt one way or the other about Ingles. But after hearing that interview, you have to love a guy that is playing with a chip on his shoulder. Those guys that are forgotten about by the rest of the NBA can sometimes be some of the best bench assets a team could have.
 
I don't see Utah making a big splash in free agency. This team has special chemistry; you just don't mess with that. Any thoughts of perhaps clearing space by not picking up Booker"s option and getting a wing are gone. Booker is the heart and soul of the team with his tweets. And we have that other solid wing in Hood. Having Ingles and Millsap behind the 3 others is ideal. Jazz will add tomic or Pleiss and their pick. I don't see a trade involving anyone. The youngest team in the league with one of the best records after the break. Why mess with that?

Except Burke. He destroys chemistry when he starts chucking. And even when he's hitting shots, there is no coherence to the offense. Everyone else is just standing around watching him.
 
I am fine with bringing back most of the team. I think the Jazz biggest need is a backup center. I think Jazz should wait and see if Cotton can handle the back up spot and then look to trade Burke. They can get another shooter in the draft.
 
LAC made a huge mistake letting this guy go. I may be being a homer here, but I think he could have helped them tremendously coming off the bench.
