Woj: Joe Ingles is finalizing deal with the Utah Jazz

Glad to have him back. Not somebody who's going to win you a championship, but definitely the type of clubhouse personality who will keep guys loose & focused. Ingles is the type of player who's impact is much greater than what shows up on the stat sheet. Can't do much better as far as an 11th/12th man off the bench. The contact seems more than fair & to be honest, considering the expected upcoming cap increase, I would have preferred to see a team option (or 2) included. Before the salary increase, now is the time to take advantage of the situation by inking as many "value signings" as possible. He may not be flashy, but Ingles is the type of player who's presence alone will elevate a team without even stepping on the court (at least for this specific roster), not to take away from his ability on the court. Considering last season was his "rookie" year, I expect major improvements due solely to his work ethic/dedication. Although this may appear to be a minor re-signing on the surface, I expect him to play a pivotal role on, as well as off, the court. Veteran leadership is a vital aspect to establishing a team identity, especially when it comes to an inexperienced roster such as this one.

Dennis Lindsay said earlier on the big show, that there will be some exciting things over the next week or so. Said as of today that there's not been a free agent worth the max that's been worth it, for this young jazz team. And that as of today, there's not been a big salary player worth trading for. Emphasis today.. Also , he stops an upper management guy from New York that's here for the review. Interesting segment, said at the review there is a place for agents and team management to sit and talk business. Also, kind of sounded like jazz our waiting for the salary cap to get set before, really getting down to business. That to me sounds more like trade talk. Either way the Jazz will be a fun team to watch next year.

Cavs and Nets potentially working out a deal for Joe Johnson. It will definitely include Haywood's non-guaranteed deal and possibly Varejao. I don't see how Anderson's 2-year $18m deal fits with Brooklyn's rebuild. I wonder if Utah could be possible 3rd team? Maybe get AV, a pick or two, and cash? When AV is healthy he is a good back-up and energy guy. I would mind him as vet off bench and back-up big man who can play 4 or 5. LBJ might squash deal if it includes AV but maybe it would work.

Remember when he tripped Kanter? Or when he stuck that jumper in his face, and jawed at him while getting back on D?

This is the **** I am talking about. Great glue guy, and in lots of ways the heart of the team. Glad to have him back. Getting so excited about next season. We we we so excited. We so excited. Fun fun fun fun.


[edit: I threw up a little in my mouth typing that last part. Still, we so excited.]
 
I like him... He is a great guy to have around and I think he helped build that chemistry. I just hope we get second half Joe that shot 40% from three.
