Pels fan and I don’t see how he’s just a 25M$ player to people that actually have praise for his play. 25M is a role player salary, he’s been beyond a role player his entire Pels tenure
spurs would be an interesting fit. They got mostly young guys on rookie contracts, so giving BI a max won't hurt them for the next few years. And he's a floor raiser, with cp3, wemby, vassell, sochan they'll be a playoff team for sure this season and going forward
He would not work for the Spurs at all. First off he's not worth a max, so why give it to him. Second of all, he fits horrifically in the Spurs system where Wemby gets the majority of the space and needs off ball shooters next to him. He is not a 3&D guy like the Spurs need next to Wemby. He is an inefficient ball hog. He's going to sign somewhere for 25m a year and it wont be the Spurs
@@blablablaa14Saying Bi is a inefficient ball hog shows how much you know about basketball.. Like its a horrible take and if you that just surrounding wemby with 3 and D is gonna win plenty of games it wont as they still need someone else who can create a shot at any level
@@stanleynyc2742 They have Devin Vassell who is a better shot creator than BI because he can actually shoot the three. Also I am not saying BI is an inefficient ball hog. That's what his characteristics as a player are. He is inefficient. He needs the ball more than most wings. He is a much worse KD
@@StaticD I'm with you bro , I don't think they should have traded him but I understand to get AD they had to make him apart of the deal. I'm glad they did though he cooked for the pelicans. Most improved player, all-star bid but now he needs to come back home and cook with AD and Bron
With their $10M plus in cap space the Pistons could send Tim Hardaway Jr, Paul Reed, Wendell Moore and 3 2nd round picks (28/29/30) to the Pelicans for Ingram. Pels basically get 3 expirings for Ingram (Reed's contract for next season is non-guaranteed, while getting some much needed help at C and depth on the wings.
This is the Siakam situation all over again. At least Siakam got his 4/192mill from Indy but he refused the trade to Atlanta which complicated everything.
He refused the trade to Atlanta because they weren't willing to give him the max he wanted. Instead Indy gutted their chances at any real success by paying Siakam a salary only superstars should get and now they are stuck with their team moving forward with less chances to make changes. Siakam isn't worth 4/192, and neither is BI. Both are at best best a 3rd best player on a title team. They should be making 25-30m a year
Crazy I would’ve paid BI over Zion. I would’ve traded Zion for Zach and Vuc. Pels need consistency on the court and the only person that has given them that is BI.
@ not really. If they start Dalton and Collin, they both shooting 46% from 3. Ingram shooting 36%, and he has a nice mid range game. AD and Bron are what they are. Bring Austin off the bench. Scoring would be more balanced from 3, mid range, and the post.
I love the idea of Ingram coming back to the Lakers. He is good on both sides of the ball & can be that 3rd best player the Lakers are looking for. I'd rather pay him 30 million than D-Lo, Vando (always injured) & Gabe. Package those 3 + a few seconds or 1 first if we have to. Starters: Reaves, Knecht, Ingram, Bron, AD...Bench: Olivari, Christie, Reddish, Rui, Hayes/Wood. Then use JHS + the other unprotected 1st to go after Kessler. Its an addition by subtraction trade. Now we're talking about a championship team.
@mattrinehart9954 the only player I would consider trash would be Gabe Vincent & im sure he could be re-routed to a 3rd team if the Lakers attach a second round pick to him. D-Lo is an expiring 19 million off their books if they decide to retain him.
Well, one thing that the Pelicans organization did NOT ask for (but, got it, anyway) is to have LeBron James in their board-room, manipulating their money and trade discussions
BI can force His way bac to The LAke 🟣🟡 Show: BI for D’Lo/Rui/MaxL/2-2nds. We chose Kuz over BI in The AD Trade however, I think BI is now more mature and Ready for L🌴A!!! The Pels need a Bac(k)up PG & a PF to step in for Zion.
@ - Yeah however, We do need another Star ⭐️ to pair with AD when LBJ leaves after the 25/26 Season and We can align His New Contract with AD’s Contract: 2+1.
the problem is BI wants his max, and lakers cant pay him his max. only the nets have cap space next year to pay BI the max. maybe claxton bad contract plus filler and bucks pick for BI?
Only a team that could use some star power, trying to make the playoffs but not a total rush would be perfect for Zion like the Spurs, or a team like the Nets. Zion is too brittle for a team to take on
On top of that trade being impossible b/c Lakers aren’t sending out enough salary to exceed BI’s salary, Pels would never accept a trade package of 3 PG’s when they got CJ, Alvarado and DJM on their roster already
Hey there Pels fans here. My prediction is BI goes to the Pacers (they clearly don’t have enough to compete and in win now mode) and Zion goes to …… Charlotte. Because of Home town ties in NC and to play with Lamelo and possibly Lonzo. Both of the teams don’t have enough to compete and not bad enough for a high draft pick
Sounds like Brandon Ingram has an overinflated sense of self and where he belongs in the league's pecking order. He'll learn the hard way, like Schroder, that the league isn't giving out max deals to 3rd wheels or guys that think they're "him" and simply aren't "him".
@jprsnts they will not play NBA games in Vegas on TV unless you ask. 50% of viewership disappeared. Between Silver and Lebron they have ruined the league.
@RobertRatliff numbers went down because people don't watch TV. They watch nba on social media and TH-cam clips etc. The game is still extremely popular, your statement doesn't tell the whole story

It's not crazy at all. To be honest that actually fits.
@@GJ6_ agreed
So McCollum or Murray would happily come off the bench ??
@ idk. I’m assuming this would have happened before the Murray trade. Like back when Zion got his extension.
Ingram for Rui, Vando, Gabe and a first.
Then take the other first and package DLo and JHS for Sexton and Kessler.
A man can dream right?
Would the shooting concern you or no?
That 1st for sexton and Kessler would have to be unprotected and probably add 2 seconds but I’d do it
@ not really. If they start Dalton and Collin, they both shooting 46% from 3. Ingram shooting 36%, and he has a nice mid range game. AD and Bron are what they are. Bring Austin off the bench. Scoring would be more balanced from 3, mid range, and the post.
I would do Ingram for Rui, Vando, Gabe, and a 2nd but not a first unless he is willing to take less and sign with LA.
@ I can respect that. Question is, will the pels do it knowing they legit lost the AD trade?
I'm not sure how the money work but Brandon Ingram for Jarrett Allen ?
Bron , Dalton , BI , Vando , AD starting lineup Reaves 6th man . This moves me 🤷🏾♂️

The Pelicans dont want players with more than 1 season and definitely don't want trash with multiple seasons.

Brandon to warriors or bucks just makes sense
I'm thinking the Hawks would be a good fit where he'll resign with them and be the # 2 option behind Trae for who is the question.
i dont blame the pels for not wanting to give a borderline all star a max deal
BI holds ALL the cards. Once he figures out where he wants to go and realizes he needs to compromise for now he actually could be a Laker.
can someone tell me where's bronny does anyone know? because I haven't seen em🤷♀️ and I'm sure I'm not the only one that want's to know
Klutch probably eyeing that OG deal but hard to justify that for BI when he doesn't provide the impact on D.
and dude is always a malcontent...not a leader at ALL
If the Bucks can trade Middleton and get Ingram, i think that gets them back to contention
Won't work financially, bucks also can't stack players on top of each other, don't think the pelicans want Middletons contract either
@rickpeso7854 they can look to offload a contract first like Pat Connaughton to a team with some cap and get under the 2nd apron

We need to get Ingram give em D’Angelo JHS and Gabe Vincent and 1st round switch and. A second rounder for BI and throw in another player
Yeah that's not happening
Zion goes to Miami . B. I. goes to Sacramento.
Only a team that could use some star power, trying to make the playoffs but not a total rush would be perfect for Zion like the Spurs, or a team like the Nets. Zion is too brittle for a team to take on
Bi back to lal but it coming in July calling it now
Trade Russell, Vincent and JHS and first for Ingram sign Howard to vet minimum and play Qunicy off the bench

Y'all gotta stop trying to get Howard, let it go he's 39 been out the league for awhile, it's over lol
@ it’ll be 2027 and delusional Laker fans will still be suggesting they go after Boogie, Ibaka, Dwight and McGee.
lakers should trade first pick for him
Sixers gonna trade for him in a 3 team deal

Pacers would definitely be an interesting fit for him! Question is what do they give up?
U know pacer is about efficiency statistics team do research. Taking a not paper pretty player you wish
As a Pacers fan this is a horrible fit
Can’t be mad if BI want more than 30 mil when Suggs makin 35mil next yr
So you guys don't think BI is a 50 million a year player
Rui and Dlo (plus filler) for BI
We can resign him for around under Jerami Grant about 30 mil but 25-28
So you want to pay BI less than Trey Murphy. Really dude?
We need a CENTER or a guard. This trade doesn’t make sense.
Sounds like Brandon Ingram has an overinflated sense of self and where he belongs in the league's pecking order. He'll learn the hard way, like Schroder, that the league isn't giving out max deals to 3rd wheels or guys that think they're "him" and simply aren't "him".
Yes move Zion now. I’m tired of this a little too late sh!t 😡
Nobody wants to trade for him let alone give him the max he wants this summer. Hes delusional
So a player averaging 22 points a game is delusional to ask for 50 mil a year.
He's not a max player.
He doesn’t want to be traded to play either lebron, he wants a max contract. UnKlutch can help him with that.
So you guys believe Trey Murphy is a better player than BI ?
Who said that?
LeBron James is the worst thing to ever happen to basketball.
