Thanks Joe.

I am very happy for Joe and you Ozzies for this, it is hard-fought and well-deserved.

I am also bitter about it because I believe Joe's injury is partly fall-out from him being in the Olympics and not working on recovery and preparation for the season the way he should have.

Is an Olympic Bronze worth missing out on an NBA championship?

That is a tough call, tbpfhwy.
 
From Tony Jones' latest article. Sounds like the trade rumors were taking a toll on him. Probably explains some of his horrible shooting over the past month or so. Prior to the Golden State game on New Years day he was shooting around 40% from 3, since then he's been in the worst shooting slump of his entire career.

Ingles is someone who has always deeply cared about his craft and has always loved to play the game. He’s always been fiercely loyal to the Jazz. He’s known about the possibility of a trade for some weeks now, and that may have had some impact on his play on the court over the last month. But without a contract for next season, an NBA return may be difficult. It’s feasible that the Jazz can trade the contract and re-sign Ingles in the offseason to a smaller deal, but that’s looking six months ahead.

This really surprises me but if it's what he wants then I'll be rooting for him to make a full recovery and comeback. I really thought he'd just hang it up and head back to Australia.

Show him loyalty by not trading him. Use our assets to find a young player. Don't get a bandaid like Convington.

Just listened to this interview and Tim MacMahon said he thinks Joe will be back on the Jazz roster next season at a drastically reduced salary.
 
Was listening to Locke today, you could actually hear the guy getting choked up about Joe. Locke manages to annoy me a fair bit but sometimes you get a glimpse that he might not actually be a **** bloke.

I'm not going to be the one to count Joe out. He's been overcoming odds for his entire NBA career. If the Jazz don't support his recuperation and recovery a part of my fandom will die with him. The Jazz is always my team, but they will have discarded part of their identity and with it part of why I love this team. It's my worst fear with Ainge, the inhuman side. It didn't pan out in Boston and I don't think it actually works the way some believe it does. I'm not shocked Joe isn't done yet. I honestly hadn't posted yet because I really wasn't sure if this was the end and couldn't bring myself to join in on the pity party. Joe ain't goin out like that.
