I will be thrilled to have Ingles back. If for nothing else the post game report with virtually every team in the league wondering who that YMCA hero with the athleticism of a turtle who just showed up their whole team.
Remember the game when Ingles shut down Lebron most of the game? Ha ha ha. I still have that one on my DVR. J'ingles was my favorite player in a uniform for the Jazz this year because you don't have any expectations and he far past whatever expectations existed. Besides, wouldn't you want Joe on your team? Or would you prefer Crowder pissing in your cheerios every minute? I think this only helps the Jazz retain other players.
I have no idea what he is worth on the open market, but I think he takes less to stay here. He's a hard player to value because no matter how well he played, other teams will still underappreciate him because he lacks x, y, and z. He is the antithesis of the run and gun NBA. So, even though he shot well, defended well, etc, he still can't be as attractive as the next shiny flashy athlete who has upside and was drafted high a few years ago and who made 3 of his last 4 three pointers in a playoff game or something dumb like that. Joe Ingles will be undervalued in the league and whatever other team pays him would probably regret it because he wouldn't necessarily fit into their plans. Turtle paced, super efficient, defensive minded Jazz + Joe 'Fosters', Gator Slaying, crooked eyed, slow mo YMCA = a match made in heaven. We'll see what it earns him here, but he will play in Utah which he probably wouldn't do outside of Utah.
