I’m not sure how much he has left, but he can still shoot and knows Rudy/Conley. Maybe a vet min guy if we let Anderson go.


This would be my dream scenario!


Its perfect. The Wolves have a long history of acquiring players 5 years too late...

I have my doubts. There are definitely benefits to having Joe Ingles. But how much value does the ghost of Joe Ingles have?


For a vetmin (3.2 mil) Joe Ingles is an ideal option

Yeah. SloMo and Conley were on the cusp. We came in a year or two earlier than we would've in the past.

He’a cooked though, like Orlando fans even admit it, couldn’t do anything for them in post season.

Right. He has just enough left to give you 12-15 MPG in the regular season as a very efficient, but very low usage player. 5 points, a couple rebounds, a couple assists. But that's not going to scale if he needs to fill in for someone.

And he couldn't do a thing against Cleveland in the Playoffs. A good defense renders him unplayable.

1) We have no chance in FA market.

2) Teams around 2nd apron are not afraid to bring their own FAs

It's going to be bargain bin, or watching summer league/training camp very closely

Suns had no choice. They have like 5 players. O'Neale had them over a barrel.

Joe Ingles = shooting, passing, veteran presence, toughness, IQ.

Yeah, he had a good game. But after that he just was not hitting shots and his defense was much less effective than NAWs

Listen, if we are truly running this back, we have four holes to fill and a specific role that each should fill. We need a vet pg that can play and probably be a defensive guy first....Dunn, Smith Jr....We need a wing (3/4 tweener type) shooter off the bench, we need a big defensive rebounding 5. Those specific things are missing. Identify guys you can afford that fill those needs and get them. I am sure TC, who is a hell of a lot smarter than me has a plan, but we have little money and a window open to win...
