Sacramento mentioned as a potential landing spot for Brandon Ingram. Should they chase him?

tack toown Sports app switch over when it gets close to one so you don’t have to deal with that delay all right all right Chris it is time to have the Brandon Ingram conversation once again this one fully loaded in a different way this is from Jake fiser yes this is go ahead potential Landing spots for Brandon Ingram Sacramento Atlanta Cleveland and Philadelphia now I don’t know if it’s necessarily order but Sacramento is the first city that he lists one team to monitor for Ingram would be Sacramento the Kings have been weighing paths to acquire various Wings Source it said from Kyle kado that’s a that’s a a typo Kyle kma Zack LaVine and Ingram could be another option for Sacramento to explore s said that is a Ron Burgundy situation right there gotcha um what was that La you said uh two oh oh gotcha gotcha um yeah I mean it it definitely feels like Ingram like I kind of said earlier I mean if if the value of CZ is going to be uh maybe higher than what we think and Brendan I think said yesterday that he he doesn’t necessarily think that you know just because Denny went for that that that necessarily means that kozma’s gonna go for more maybe maybe they view Denny as more valuable than Kyle kozma especially with the contract that Denny’s on um but yeah I mean it definitely makes sense it kind of felt like the Brandon Ingram front was pretty quiet for a minute um yeah and I I think he’s obviously you know if you’re talking about him kozma and Zack LaVine he’s the best player of all of those guys he’s the most talented 100% especially on the offensive end um I think on the defensive end you you kind of have a lot of questions I think there’s more theoretical potential for kozma I think as a Defender we’ve seen him be a Defender before obviously in those bubble days with the Lakers um Ingram that’s never been a part of his bag he’s always just kind of been a shot Creator a shot maker and can also really you know I feel like his ball handling is uh pretty underrated as well he can be kind of your your backup playmaking option I think I think you can run pick and rolls with him in sabonis um and I think it would go really well I I do have some concerns and I put it on socials um I I didn’t quite word it how I wanted it to come out but essentially I just kind of think that I have some concerns about his fit in the king system uh you know he is somebody who I think you know he really shined when Zion was out which I think is a very very useful tool the Kings need if dearen or or domas were to ever Miss time they would definitely need somebody to kind of be that that star that steps up and Brandon Ingram is more than qualified to do it um but I it’s the the the we call it the Equal Opportunity offense right I think that’s the thing that has me a little bit concerned uh is you know in this free flowing spread offense is Ingram going to get the touches that he needs and the touches that he wants in order to kind of be the Brandon Ingram that we need him to be and then on the second side of that as well he’s gonna the whole reason the Pelicans are trading him is because they don’t want to have to pay him that next contract and that next contract is probably gonna be a Zack LaVine contract where he’s making $50 million per year that’s the part that really starts to scare me especially when you tie it into what I just kind of mentioned if he is going to somebody who’s a second option which I think is obviously fine second options can you know jayen Brown’s making 64 million or whatever as a second option so it’s not necessarily that’s the problem but you know with sabonis and with Keegan needing at some point to to get more shots up as well you’re going to be paying Brandon Ingram that $50 million which will be at least for some period of time here the highest paid player on the team you know does that necessarily make sense for this squad to have three guys potentially making over $50 million in Fox when he gets his extension bi and sabonis it it’s it’s just has me a little concerned I’m not sure if I’m full-blown I’m not doing it I’m not doing it I think bi is a good enough talent to where you figure the rest out later but it’s a bit concerning a dude that seems to kind of Thrive the most when he’s the primary option him as a second maybe a third option I I just don’t know how comfortable he is in that role and how willing he is to accept that well I I’ll approach this in kind of two parts okay the first part is going to be the money situation and I would just think at this point Chris just like you said before it’s pay to play these days and if you’re looking for someone that can be considered a big three you’re GNA have to pay them at some point yes it would be perfect to because even even the kma whatever the situation is okay are you trying are you going to win that championship before kma’s deal is done you’re gonna have to pay these guys you know you’re gonna have to pay these guys so I think it’s just the the the cost of admission these days and it’s going to happen and we know dearon would then supersede him and and we go from there I really want to take this to the the I guess the question of fit because I don’t know I know there are a lot of versions of the king’s offense you have out there Tyrese halberton in in Indiana with the Pacers they play uptempo things like that but they have a SE yakum who SE yakum doesn’t need the ball but he’ll ISO as well and it it begs me to ask the question well I understand the offense that the kings run but then I would ask you how many teams or who are the teams that run the type of offense that the kings run that have been to the promised land I I guess I would say if you’re adding a talent like Brandon Ingram and you’re gonna have to pay him should you have a qu should you have questions as I’ve had and we’ve had throughout the season maybe there needs to be some augmenting and tweaking to the offense just on its face yeah for sure I mean yeah something we’ve kicked around a couple times um you know as you’re going to get more talented players who have are are a little bit more accustomed to having higher usage percentage you know the sabonis having the ball and then you making a decision in 0 five seconds yeah doesn’t really fit everyone’s play style and you know it’s a question of do you want to bring in players who fit your play style or do you want to at some point bring in talent and again like start to adjust from there I think you know as it currently stands I would guess if bi is gonna come in they’re gonna have to at least relinquish it a little bit maybe that’s still one of their core principles but you know they they will have to run more pick and rooll because you do need to take advantage of Brandon Ingram having the ball in his hands and isolating sabonis and bi to run their own pick and roll on their isolated side and and take advantage of that and maybe you know weaponize that a little bit I think the Kings definitely would get into these LS and these of rhythms really of of just kind of going through the motions with their offense and when it shots aren’t falling the offense would get stagnant and people would would just be chucking them up sometimes and uh it definitely needs some adjusting for sure I just don’t know if there’s any signs that that’s going to happen I mean we think it can and you know it would make sense for it but Jordy was the defensive coordinator the offensive coordinator and Jay Triano is still here not saying Jay is you know this has been the system J Triano runs his whole life and he doesn’t know anything else he I’m sure he can throw some adjustments into it but just in terms of you know personnel there hasn’t really been changes that would suggest that’s the direction they would go not saying they wouldn’t but there’s just nothing right now showing that that would be the case right and we had this conversation with the Mike dantony but be Mike he had more to go off could I get to the promised land I’m so close we’re getting to the Conference Finals we’re doing things like that when you look at what the kings are doing right now and you see okay well we you know with this current regime dear going into his eighth season now not not eighth season with this regime but okay we were the three seed and then yes injury but and then we didn’t even make the playoffs I I don’t think that’s enough to say well we’re not going to take because that’s the thing if you look at the three names that we keep kicking around we’ve asked the same question with all three I think we’ve landed on kozma being the easiest to probably figure it out but when it comes to Zack LaVine and Brandon Ingram to a lesser degree K kosma all three of those guys they’d have to learn to to kind of fit that system and I would just say yeah somebody said it on the sack chat as well I mean the Warriors had a bit of a system yes they got Kevin Durant but I I saw those issues when I was in the Bay Area we all did in 2016 when it wasn’t as free flowing towards the end of the game and it’s time to get it bucket the Kings don’t have enough bucket Getters so if you’re asking me hey do do the kings need to dial this back to you know accommodate bucket Getters I would do it in a heartbeat you know I would do it in a heartbeat so you got to figure it out life is about life is about changes life is about being able to to be flexible and if you’re not able to be flexible then the game is gonna pass you by because these names are all these names that we keep okay fine maau Bridges is probably a name that would be easier to fit the system and we just saw what what he went for so and and I don’t and I don’t even know if maau Bridges makes you as good as the team with cusma I have no clue yeah all I know is that I can’t sit here and say we’re we can’t do something or the question marks that I have get fully bypassed by the fact that I want another bucket getter for the Kings yeah no and I mean I think of a closing lineup of fox monk Brandon Ingram Keegan and sabonis and I’m licking chops like you talk about you know in in the final minutes having as many shot creators as possible those are three guys who I’m very comfortable having the ball in their hand and fox Monk and Ingram and then you just put Keegan out on the corner you have uh Malik out there possibly if he’s not one of the people on ball in beyond the perimeter as well that’s really scary you got sabonis clearing the lane setting screens and and keeping them open in the pick and roll I I think that’s a fantastic lineup and yeah I would definitely hope that you know they can get a hey maybe we run this offense for 42 minutes but the last five or I guess it would be 43 minutes the last five we have to I mean just because and it ends up naturally happening because things get tight and coaches stop being a factor players start to take over but I would guess in general they should probably even outside of those last five minutes they should run more ISO if they are going to bring specifically Brandon Ingram I think Brandon Ingram would be wonderful in a pick and roll situation with uh with the mon or even I I would love to see some it doesn’t have to just be sabonis setting screens if we can get some guard screens going if we can get Keegan Murray involved in some pick and Pop I think this offense can go to Crazy different levels they just have to be willing to experiment with some things and maybe go through some lumps first if you look at the Personnel that is probably gonna be moving and grooving right Kevin herder oh he really fits the system he might be out the door Harrison Barnes oh he really fits the system he might be out the door now you’re coming in with different guys like Keon Ellis Davon Mitchell’s already gone you goton Ellis you gotter guys that are going to be different within this so when theel changes it gives you more flexibility and not flexibility you have to yeah you have to because your personnel has changed coming up next do not go anywhere we’ve cooked up the Bobby poris trade you wanted it we did it is it good enough we’ll see Styles and Watkins sack Down Sports subscribe
