Joe Ingles
Be honest: did you forget Joe Ingles existed?
If so, you’re not alone. Last year, Ingles suffered a devastating, season-ending injury midway through the year with the Utah Jazz. They’d go on to trade his salary to the Portland Trail Blazers. Now, it’s hard to say where he’ll end up in 2022-23.
The Philadelphia 76ers should offer him an opportunity. He’ll probably be a low-cost acquisition given the uncertainty around his productivity. If he’s back to his old self, he could also be a high-value one.
After all, the last time we saw Joe Ingles in action, he remained an impactful NBA player. He’s one of the best three-point shooters in the NBA. He’s a fundamentally sound defender (although at his age, declining athleticism is catching up to him) and a strong positional playmaker as well.

Finally, Joe Ingles is a consummate professional. He was widely beloved during his tenure in Salt Lake City. Something tells us that the Philly crowd would embrace his hardnosed brand of basketball as well.
