**Orlando to offer Joe Ingles 4 years at $60M
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...-rubio-bound-for-jazz/?utm_term=.3a9122dcfe1c

— The Utah Jazz are involved in a lot of talk in the run-up to free agency. First, the Jazz received Ricky Rubio from the Minnesota Timberwolves for the Oklahoma City Thunder’s 2018 protected first round pick, absorbing him into their remaining cap space for the 2016-17 season before it expired at midnight. Second, they are about to be hit with a big offer for restricted free agent forward Joe Ingles.

Ingles, 29, seems set to receive an offer in the four-year, $60 million range from the Orlando Magic, per sources. Ingles was an underrated part of Utah’s success, averaging 7.1 points in 24 minutes per game while shooting 44.1 percent from three-point range. He’s also close with Gordon Hayward, Utah’s star free agent who also seems like a pretty strong possibility to leave at this point. The Boston Celtics and Miami Heat are expected to get meetings with Hayward in the next 48 hours before he meets with the Jazz and makes his decision, unless more teams get into the mix, which is always possible.

Good contract and an easy match for the Jazz I think. Ingles was our third best player last season since Hill missed so much time.

But bringing him back at this price and retaining Hayward will cost us Hood in the long run imo.

 

[Coach Ellis]

I love Ingles, but I wait until I know exactly what Hayward is doing before I really consider matching this deal. That's about 2x what I expected Jingles to get. Too bad the Jazz didn't extend him earlier as a long-term glue guy if he does get that kind of cash. Ouch.

 

[JazzForLifee]

not sure if it's a good contract or not cuz of current CBA.

member when hayward max was like 17-18 mil a year? crazy

 

[JazzForLifee]

Too bad the Jazz didn't give him a 5 year extension before his RFA season. Would have given a utah all sorts of freedom to be major players right now.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Anything less than a 5 y at max for Ingles is basically a steal tbh.

Cy right. Not sure if matching is the right move. I love Ingles, but that's going to be a lot of money in a couple years.

Orlando is reckless and ****ty. This goes up and beyond Portland shenanigans IMHO

Wonder what their owner is thinking, funding this type of serpent barrell ********.

Despite all the new management, maybe they think they have a new Hedo in Joe?

 

[Bawse Dawg]

Maybe he'll sign with us at 12:01 for $12 or $13 million. He'd avoid Orlando.

A little under an hour and a half until free agency starts.
