Ingram signs

Predictable.

What other option should there be? Not max him? Trade him?

Would have had to have been before the trade deadline, unless a sign and trade

Perhaps a slightly shorter version of Taushaun Prince would be a good target for BI defensively.

Then again, TP was a defensive specialist who wouldn't be exerting nearly as much energy on offense as BI will be.

BI just needs to add weight. He's not less athletic than PG. As a matter of fact BI charges the lane with speed and dunks on people far more than PG does.

What PG has over him on the defensive end in is size and a high IQ. Yet even he gets his ankles broken from time to time. Utah fans will be quick to remind you Joe Ingles tends to have his way with PG even to the point of taunting him.

Just give BI some time to get a little bigger. Until then he's going to be mismatched on defense.

What am I missing about Ingram's 25% max contract when he's only earning 20.64% of the cap this season? ($27,285,000)

Edit: Found it. Sportrac's figure is using the lux tax line, not the cap line.
