The trade should be BI for Poeltl and Bruce Brown. That makes the most sense cause Toronto has this giant Poeltl deal they dont want and they can pair BI with Barnes, RJ, IQ to have a somewhat interesting team
Two options come to mind; to Potland for Ayton or to the Hawks for Capella and Hunter/Bog. I suppose the tade chip Wizards could always be a fit somehow.
Yeah but you can add lavine or ingram and draft cooper flag or any of the other top guys in next years draft and rebuild so if you pistons nets wizards spurs, blazers they could look to do it
The thing is they wanna trade him for a star caliber center that can run the floor and rim protect however if Missi can provide that on his rookie contract and then they’ll pay BI for sure.
I wonder if the incentives are a thing of the past. The Heat gave Herro unlikely-to-be-earned incentives before the new CBA but now they count against the cap with the new CBA. Have you noticed other deals not having incentives as well?
As a lifelong Lakers fan, Lebron's contract really made me disappointed!! If he REALLY wanted to win a chip at 40 yrs old, he should've taken a much smaller contract and we could've gotten another great player!! If I were the Lakers Owner there is NO WAY I'm giving him 60M per yr!! I would've told him, Lebron you're 40, if you really want to win a chip and add to your legacy then we'll give you 40M, so that we can get another great player. If not, then go find a better offer!! As an owner, they should know with the 2nd apron there's NO WAY that the Lakers will win a chip paying 40 yr old Lebron 60M. #LakersFan4Life #RIPKobe #MLGA #PurpleAndGold
Brandon Ingram to the Pacers for Myles Turner makes a sense. Myles Turner is perfect for Zion and the Pels, and the Pacers don't have a wing with length, especially not one like Ingram, who is a 2-way player. Pelicans have extra wings, and Pacers have some extra bigs, especially now that they traded for James Wiseman, who they can develop into a very good player. In this case it wouldn't matter to the Pacers if Brandon Ingram is a true #2 or not, because they were already overpaying players who weren't even #3s on competitive teams, and if they can get Wiseman to what his draft stock projected him as, they will have a very good trio of young players that are more affordable than most 'big 3s', because Wiseman is on his rookie deal.
Why would they give up Turner for Wiseman? What are you talking about? Turner is a core of both whatever defense Pacers do have and a big part of their offense, once you remove their big man threat from 3 they are done as a real team that tries to contend. Also BI and Paskal are basically identical players at this point and Paskal is better. Were not even talking about the fact that the Pels have zero chance of resigning BI (cause he wants 40m), and the Pacers have a real shot of resigning Turner. This is a dumb trade idea for anyone other than the Pels. You have a better idea suggesting a Claxton for BI trade
@@mackdeen7021 I'm not saying that the Pacers would or should do that, but do not be fooled into thinking the Pacers are a true eastern conference contender. They couldn't have beaten a healthy Bucks or Knicks. The Pacers are on the right track, but do not think they can get any better than a first round exit against healthy competition, and that is in the weak east. Brandon Ingram may have injury issues, and if that's why they don't want to do it, that's a good reason not to, but they could use a high level SF. As they are currently, their potential is capped, UNLESS they learn to play some defense.
You are right. His big body would funnel people towards others to block their shots. The Wizards should be playing him 30min for 20-10. Even at 18min he's getting 16-8.
@@cottonmather8146 Wing depth means everything in the modern NBA… If he’s available and all you would have to do (hypothetically) is get rid of Robinson and some other pieces why not? Realistically though I would prefer for them to go out and get a quality backup center. PA is good at the 4 but he just got injured and I don’t think playing him at the backup center consistently works with the amount of big man talent in the NBA.
@@NLL180 Wing depth means everything to a point. They don't need anymore wings. OG, Bridges, KAT. That's all covered. They need a center. Ingram doesn't even fit with everyone else. He needs the ball in his hands, and you don't want him taking the ball out of Brunson's hands. Knicks trading for Ingram would be a waste. We all saw what happened on the FIBA team when he didn't have the ball in his hands...
I think what should happen is BI should be offered the extension and the pels should trade CJ. CJ is much older and yes he’s a great shooter but Hawkins is on the rise. CJ could be traded for a serviceable center like Myles Turner or Ayton.
Trade for who? Cause any team that would take BI isn't offering much to him or the Pels in return knowing he is done there after this year. Even if he was on a solid long term deal they would struggle to trade a +35m guy who is like the 3rd best on a contender anywhere. BI is Zach Levine 2.0 basically
@@clarenceorozco5300 Has BI been good? Where? Cause I saw him get stopped by Lu Dort who wasn't even an all NBA defensive guy last year, and he's accomplished nothing in his career. All of BI's stats are empty too. They are the same player
@@blablablaa14Oh really?Cause last I checked,he averaged 27 against the sun's two years prior and also,Dropped 30 against Okc in 2023 play-in.You are also forgetting he was injured for 1 month and was not ready for the post season.How bout that,you casual!
If im New Orleans id try to trade BI to the Clippers for Zubac & 1 of their young pieces. Leonard is always hurt so at least Harden gets a running mate & it solidifies NO's center position
This already brought up. Clips won’t be able to sign a max contract. So Ingram gone after his year and the Clips gave up Zibac and probably cash (to match the trade) and don’t have Ingram.
@@TheBasketballBulletin Bulls regret signing Lavine to that max deal and look where they are now. Ingram is having similar issues with injury and being a fringe all star. Pelicans are wise to not pay BI knowing that it could cost them down the line. I know Chicago probably had no choice with Lavine so they wouldnt lose him for nothing but sometimes its better not to be locked into a bad contract.
Trey Murphy on the cheap! The funny, crazy thing is Trey Murphy money he got used to max contract just a few years ago! So Brandon Ingram is only 2 star player. One thing I hate is not every player in the NBA a three point shooter. Demar. D. has carved out an incredible career without being a 3 point shooter.

1) he will need a contract extension after this season and i dont see how the Kings would have enough space to pay him 2) we need defense way more than offense from that 5th starter spot 3) we would have to trade Monk and another player to get him, which would leave us with very little depth, not to mention that Fox and Monk are homies. Fox probably wouldnt like that and therefore would probably leave SAC when he hits free agency
Ingram can barely play 60 games a season and it seems like he just puts up empty stats. Does he really make a team better to get a max contract? It will be interesting to see what team gives him one 🤔
Is it true he is not durable.However,He absolutely does not put empty stats,He has made the playoffs with a bunch of rookies who he and cj helped in their development.So no,he isn't just empty stats
Mentioned that in the video how fringe all stars are getting screwed by the new CBA they believe there value is much higher and teams cannot afford to pay them

Zions upside is way higher than Brandon’s. His low side is probably lower too though
His worth is more. And when Zion becomes not worth the money, he will be next.

But this one is mine
Yeah but you can add lavine or ingram and draft cooper flag or any of the other top guys in next years draft and rebuild so if you pistons nets wizards spurs, blazers they could look to do it
The thing is they wanna trade him for a star caliber center that can run the floor and rim protect however if Missi can provide that on his rookie contract and then they’ll pay BI for sure.
Ayton for Ingram makes some sense. Cleveland, Atlanta, and Detroit can all make reasonable offers.
I wonder if the incentives are a thing of the past. The Heat gave Herro unlikely-to-be-earned incentives before the new CBA but now they count against the cap with the new CBA.

In general, incentives or otherwise, teams are being much more careful with their spending. Expect fewer incentives, player options,etc
