Woj: Joe Ingles is finalizing deal to return to the Utah Jazz

CY did chicken out, from what I remember.:p

Still, the bet wasn't what he would sign for. It was whether or not someone would offer him 15 million or more.

I think you lost that in a big way. IMO, Utah gives him this deal on the first day, knowing they are getting a break. Without other info, you get off on a technicality. No doubt in my mind he get's an offer of 15 per and maybe more. No point in going after a UFA with an offer that isn't risky.

And no one DID offer him $15M. It was just a rumor that Orlando might. Are all rumors true? Agents play games. They leak supposed interest and/or deals to drive up prices. Utah jumped because they couldn't afford to wait for an offer and then decide to match or not. They needed Joe to be signed by Monday. Ingles needs to be sitting in that boardroom right next to Gordon.

Hmm. Maybe I didn't read the fine print. Anyway, he didn't get a verified $15 million offer, so I think I still win. But I will admit that your number was closer than I expected. I hoped it would be close to the MLE. If push came to shove I probably would have gone with $10 million for next year. I'd guess with this contract, next year is about $12.5, so it's actually right in between our two numbers. Funny that.

Well he didnt even talk to any teams besides Utah, so yeah.

Ill call it a push since there was a rumor from a credible source he would have been offered 60/4 but he never technically got it.
 
The 4th year is concerning considering age/late development but worth the risk IMO as it likely increases the odds of retaining Hayward. Also, Ingles' character/work ethic increases the likelihood that he is able to maintain or increase his current level of play. Not to mention the intangibles he brings regardless of performance. It's a risk but a calculated one.
 
Welcome back Jingles! Re-signing with a home town discount was great, nothing like a little salary sacrifice to show your commitment to the cause.

The Jingles highlight for me this year was Game 1 v the Clippers, after Gobert went down everyone on the Jazz was in shock (including Hayward and Quin), Jingles sensed this and took it upon himself to really lift the intensity. I think he scored/assisted on 4 of the next 5 baskets with a couple of quick steals. Really showed me his leadership potential.

Joe Ingles should fire his agent... curry gets 200M and Joe gets 52... joe's worth at least 400M

A highly underestimated aspect he brings is his edge. He's mentally tough and knows how to get under guys skin and take them off their game.
