Making sense of the Raptors trading for Brandon Ingram
The New Orleans Pelicans have traded Brandon Ingram to the Toronto Raptors for Bruce Brown, Kelly Olynyk, one first-round pick and one second-rounder. What’s Raps GM Masai Ujiri thinkin’ here?

I can't stand any other Raptors content besides Pensare.
Just no commitment to the craft of providing good analysis and insight.
Simply put, the trade is incredible risk for massive pay off.
Raptors going to win a chip in the next 5 years.
Tank for Dylan Harper man wtf
Ever think Masai has more info than you?
Raptors gave up NOTHING for Ingram
People still complaining
last 6 years
Devin Booker 35.7 % from 3 on 6.4 attempts per 36
Brandon Ingram 37.2% from 3 on 5.3 attempts per 36
somehow one is a sniper and the other one is Demar
It’s apart of the reputation rehab plan they hope will work for B.I. So far it’s been working with RJ, Masai probably betting they can do the same with B.I. Asset retention as well, you’re hoping to be in the mix in a year or 2 when Phx or Milwaukee blow it up. In theory it’s a optimistic but we’ll see how it shakes out. Base level it’s a guaranteed 20pt scorer, nothing wrong with having that on your team.
Not everything is a basketball move. This was a business move. What they had to give up for B.I. is pennies in the dollar.
BI will resign… but they won’t do well this year.
In a vacuum raptors traded
Og precious and Flynn for
Quickley Barrett and mogbo
Then siakam Otto porter for
Ingram ochai Walter pj tucker and a first.
Personally, I am excited for DeAndre Hunter going to the Cavs.
Love the deal!!…..let's gooooooo Raptors 🦖🦖🦖🦖
I wasn't fully sold at first but im hopeful for next season raptors can make a move if this doesn't fit
i disagree with you guys. this is an amazing trade !!!!
THIS TEAM IS GOING TO WIN RINGS.
Gotta get a pic of kelly with the backwards pelicans hat next show 🤣
i don’t like your takes guys and i rarely disagree. but this is amazing
Followed you guys for a long time but your Raptors takes have been straight up weird for like a year or two now. I don’t understand it. Is it just that you’re all older now and don’t actually keep up with stuff too closely anymore? Do you all live far away from Toronto now?
At the end we got better. Ingram is still a star level guy. Also picked up solid pieces like wiseman and hopefully Tucker can get some bench minutes just being a corner guy I know that’ll be a little concerning but he’s still bringing vet presence. Solid pickups all around we should be in good hands moving forward for now.
4:48 – he's a better a talent, in his prime, and Alex Mchence will rehab this guy.
If you think about giving Pascal and getting Ingram, Ochai, and Ja'kobe, this is an A++
Pels got the better end of the deal, Bruce and Kelly have been playing really well together
Pruce Brown?
Y'all gone realize b.i gone be your best player
These guys probably never sat down and watched a raptors game.
Buy low, sell high. Brandon Ingram is going to be worth 3 times what the Raptors picked him up for in 2 season. He is still young and will have plenty of time to rest and get healthy while the Raptors are Tanking.
BI actually can carry a team, when they rally behind him. I've seen him do it in the playoffs without Zion. It was the tension between him and Zion and "who team it was" that made it difficult for him to be the best version of himself In my opinion. He's actually allot better than people think. Plus I believe he's motivated and has something to prove now.
Ingram is an expiring, can extend him up to 3 years for about 144 by end of June. Raptors have his bird rights and can trade him with cap space, possibly do a sign and trade this offseason season? They went out and got a potential star free agent under their regime without compromising their core. They have options and can possibly yield a better return on investment based on the offseason market this summer. Not sure why so many people are confused
Zack Lavine? Talk about injured. Come on guys this us a good deal. They wouldn't have used a first round pick unless they knew they could resign him. And he's an all-star. which will definitely make the Raptors better.
Good thing Messai is smarter than all 3 of you combined 😮💨
Clear win for the Raps. They gave away practically nothing! It's a no brainer. We got so much after trading Pascal Siakam(BI,UA,JW). Even if BI doesn't work,we lost nothing! Toronto has one of the best medical staffs in the NBA. Ingram will take his time and heal.If we get a top 5 draft pick next year…wow! Raps rookie bench is ahead of development. This is easily a top 5 or 4 team in the east next year. They are still very young and doing everything they can to lose games. Have you guys even watch a Raps game this year?🤦
So many Raptors commentators haven't a clue. Ingram is a 3 level scorer – much more dynamic than DD. Scottie is turning 24 and in year 4. Can't be rebuilding for another 2-3 years, otherwise he'll be that guy who's 26-27, putting up numbers but can't win. If you're believing Scottie is a superstar, getting a number 1 scorer in BI is a no brainer.
BI shoots 6 3s per game at 37%.
The goal is still a top 2 lottery pick…stop panicking!
I have stopped watching you guys… all of your takes are “jokey”and I’ll informed. You need more research h before you talk… you have lost your way…too bad
