Why NOT trading Brandon Ingram and giving him a MAX contract might be what New Orleans Pelicans do
It seems like big changes are coming to the New Orleans Pelicans this offseason but does that mean the Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson pairing is done? Jake Madison says not so fast and says the Pels might even give Brandon Ingram a MAX extension. Jake looks at the contract, trade value, and how a deal for someone like Trae Young could come together.

I wish we could add Lauri Markkanen
Zion” needs to request for a trade!!
Definitely think we should trade him. I think Murray from Hawks would be a better fit. I like CJ but he should be traded for a veteran center that rim protects. Draft Ware. Murray, Herb, TM3, Zion and Center (Allen?) and bring back Naji we are good
Is there a possibility that they involve JV in a sign and trade?
Move on…… 🏀🇬🇧
Kel'el Ware or Bub Carrington
I personally think giving Brandon Ingram a max contract would be a huge mistake. The Bulls gave Zach LaVine a max deal and now they can’t move him because of it.
I don’t get it.. trade value shouldn’t matter if we can get his contract off the books that’s a win!
I think giving Ingram a max contract vs just using that money on a better player with. heart that can shoot…Ingram always disappears in big games. He got benched in the Olympics for a reason
i know a trade we could do that would be the best for the future of the team………………
Should, shouldn’t. They probably give him a new contract and focus on the center and a rotational point guard to add to the roster for next season.
Every dayer comment
You can’t give one GOOD reason to sign that man to $50MPY contract
We’d set the franchise back AGAIN if we do that .
They need to humble themselves, swallow their ego & cut their losses with him
Now that dort exposed Ingram everyone is gonna do it to him…get in his space ..Pels would be smart to sign and trade him, only sign him if they can trade him. But a max deal breaker….he ain't that good
What happen to Brockington ? Dude came out one game looking like Jordan for a out 5 min then never see him again what gives?
What does an upgrade at center look like? Especially if just putting Trey in the starting lineup with CJ Z & BI.
Trade Ingram jv & cj for a point guard sg and call Dwight Howard
