When I die, I hope they say I made the eSports industry a better place than I made millions of dollars.
With the kind of money random role players are getting I feel like that's a fair deal for Ingles but I also said that about almost all of the Blazers deals last year.

He probably made the r/nba front page at least a dozen times last season year for saying something folksy and fun in an interview, he does have a minor internet basketball freak following

As I recall Joe Ingles played really good D against the Clippers in the playoffs, and he shot 44% from three for the season which is absurd. Given how valuable 3&D guys are these days that contract seems fair

Last year was a huge outlier in terms of 3pt%. In all likelihood he will not continue to shoot that well, at which point he'll be back to being the fringe rotation player he's always been

Anyhow here's Serge around age "18"

Speaking of Deron Williams remember when he was the worst player in the world during the 2017 finals? I never want to see him on the court again.

ESPN's RPM really likes him, he was the 30th pf last year when he wasn't making or taking shots, and 7th or so this year. I think it's probably about 4m per year overpay but he fits their spurs international players are culture stuff, I don't think they were willing to lose him
