New Orleans Pelicans Interested In Kyle Kuzma, Open to Trading Brandon Ingram

the Pelicans are really trying to move off of this guy Brandon Ingram is just someone that they want to get off the books but who are they going to do it for and it seems like Kyle kozma until he is moved will forever be attached to trade rumors because of how beautiful his contract is now they’re saying maybe a Brandon Ingram for Kyle kozma deal could be in the works which isn’t a bad idea Wizards don’t need to extend him Brandon Ingram or they can keep him on the roster and let him ball out and extend him and then trade him down the road what whatever they can do and they probably would get assets for Kyle kzo because of how good his contract but this report about Kyle kusma and the Pelicans is one that we’re we’re hearing first off that League sources told Mark Stein of the Stein line that League sour say New Orleans remains very open to a brand Ingram trade discussion in Washington Wizards kyza looms as a potential difference maker whose team-friendly contract of$ 64.4 million over the next 3 years and the contract is descending all the way down to $19.4 million which means this year every year it becomes cheaper the contract virtually ensures that the Washington Wizards will have so much interest in Kyle kusma just because of the value right there as what we’re hearing now that if they can find an Ingram trade they would like to find some middle ground with the Von an extension there’s obviously optimism within the building that there two sides could come to terms on a deal that makes each happy obviously Ingram wants something closer to the max the Pelin don’t think they probably want to go further away from the Max and they’re fine going into training camp without an extension as it they believe it won’t be a distraction as that’s something that they prefer to avoid the scenario certainly wouldn’t make sense for the Pelicans fighting B for him now is difficult enough but trying to move him on expiring contract that the trade deadline would be a nightmare obviously the validity of volatility of surrounding free agency every year I think Brandon Ingram is a guy that it’s sry when New Orleans made a clear that they weren’t going to give him that four year $28 million extension that he probably wanted and he’s probably going to get something closer to like a threeyear $120 million deal or a threeyear $100 million deal and it also turns out that Atlanta didn’t have much interest in Brandon Ingram in his next contract or even giving up one of their two centers in Clint capella or Neo kagu in a deal when they were doing that to jante Murray discussions so I think that pokes a couple paws at the straw right there so what would a Wizard’s a deal for Kyle kozma and big boy Mr himself Brandon Ingram look like first off they’re saying they want two first round picks maybe even three first round picks for Kyle kozma and I get it I get it Kyle kozma that contract is really good I mean there I’ve heard Rumblings that they believe they can get maybe a a haul as good as male bridges for Kyle kma because of how good his contract is now if you believe that then you’re going to hold out because there’s no point in trading KY kusma now if you know that people are going to give you are going to get Des and want to trade you the entire Farm I again I don’t know the vity on that one but that’s what some people are making it seemed like that he’s going to have a lot of value we’re going to go on the assumption that he’ll cost two to three first round picks for a team like especially if they’re going to have to dump the contract of Brandon Ingram and I obviously understand that people are going to be like well Brandon Ingram is a good basketball player is an All-Star is a fringe all NBA player yes but he’s some durability wise isn’t that durable A team’s rebuilding The Leverage is more in the the hands of the Wizards than it is in the hands of the the Pelicans so for me I think that’s the the biggest thing that people need to understand is c h how does this deal come down in terms of making it work for people to be interested on both sides so two to three first round picks I think is the easiest way to to make this deal have some interest from The Wizard standpoint now Kyle kma is on a cheap contract so how do you you know convince somebody who’s on a cheap contract to I guess basically or team that has him the Wizards to trade him now I look at the 36 million is like what Brandon ingrams on and they just waved K Landrew shamut cuz I think they really wanted tank this year cuz of Cooper flag so and obviously if you’re looking Kyle he’s making 23 so that’s a $13 million difference and I don’t think they’re dude would they they KN you can’t trade ran hols I’m pretty sure would they trade Marvin Bagley would it be Kyle kozma Marvin baggley for Brandon Ingram in two first round picks or three first round picks that’ be insane I would do that deal I would do that deal now I’m curious just to see on like on paper what that deal looks like out of curiosity because that would definitely be interesting because a deal of is that even plot I guess this would be an easy way for the Pelicans to try to fix their Center position what if they really did they’re like look we’re just going to run eages Messi Daniel Ty and Marvin baggley is our Center rotation would you guys cry in New Orleans so the idea over here is Kyle kozma and Marvin baggley Marvin bagley’s on expiring by the way ladies and gentlemen so that would interest them now pickwise we’ll assume they send them the Lakers pick next year cuz that’s going to be a low pick and then we’ll do the W they’ll send them the 2026 pick if that’s possible and it’s Brandon Ingram who makes $36 million now this deal would it work it would work it would work the technically the Wizards would save $6,000 and the Pelicans would be taking on $6,000 but from what we’re being told right now both teams would benefit I guess from this deal as they would technically the Wizards are winning this deal but that’s because the number cuz the Wizards had such bad numbers and the Pelicans were a playoff team the Wizards players who are good aren’t going to look like this but Brandon Ingram and two first round picks while pelicans get KY lman Marvin baggley I feel like there’s worst deals out there that they could do and those are two that actually realistically could be ones that help their team go from man I think really go from a team that is a playoff team to maybe one that makes some noise in the playoffs we’ve seeing it more and more that dude bigs can really be set can really change everything for a team in the playoffs if you can match up with your size more and more in the NBA and I think that’s just something that people need to to realize that you need to be able to match up sizewise and if you can dude there’s a chance that you can you can make a run I think we saw with the Mavericks and teams z a fall suit
