The Sixers are TARGETING Brandon Ingram via TRADE
so here’s what everyone’s talking about now from Kevin oconor Paul George remains plan a for the Philadelphia 76ers while Brandon Ingram is considered their fallback plan because you know it is widely expected that the New Orleans Pelicans could break up the Zion Williams and Brandon Ingram Tandem and try to go in a different direction I never thought that would work in the first place even though Zion went healthy as an animal but both of them you know kind of operate in the same space They Don’t Really complement each other very well and that’s also a uh a con I guess you could say when you think about Brandon Ingram on the Sixers but uh here’s what uh Kevin oconor said aside from the pipe dream that Kevin Durant or Jimmy Butler would ask to be dealt directly to Philly sources familiar with the Sixers thinking say that Brandon Ingram is the primary fallback plan Ingram would have to be acquired in a trade from the New Orleans Pelicans since he’s under contract for 36 million with a 15% trade kicker through the 2024 25 season uh Brandon Ingram man I I like Brandon Ingram and you know we probably should have drafted him over Ben Simmons back in the 2016 draft I think Brandon Ingram being expected to lead a franchise like he is in New Orleans is not really what he is I don’t think he has that leadership that like real killer mentality as you saw his performance in this year’s playoffs uh he kind of you know folded under pressure as far as being a team leader or or trying or the picans expecting him to be a number one guy Brandon Ingram as a third option isn’t terrible I don’t like it as much as Paul George I’ll tell you that right now even 35-year-old Paul George I’ll take 35-year-old Paul George as a third option over Brandon Ingram right now that might sound crazy to you guys cuz Brandon Ingram’s 27 but Brandon Ingram shoots three three-pointers per game and that’s the main issue that I have with his game is that there’s a lot of Tobias Harris Vibes there as far as his style of play is he better than Tobias Harris of course he is can he get to a mid-range jumper way better than Tobias Harris can yes does he play through contact way more than Tobias Harris does of course he does a million times better than Tobias harrris but really I’ve hated that Tobias Harris fit next to Joel for a long time because of his reluctancy to shoot three-pointers bringing in Brandon Ingram also not a guy that shoots a lot of three doesn’t stretch the floor a lot operates in the same space that joeel embiid operates in and I don’t like it I think the Perfect Construction around Joel embid is four guys on the perimeter bro I mean like we all played 2K it’s not rocket science you run a four out one in you try to get Joel and beat in a one-on-one match up and you [ __ ] dunk on people you know and you force them to bring a double team you kick it out you swing it around the perimeter you find the open man it’s not basketball’s not rocket science it really isn’t it’s very simple but if you’re putting players like Brandon Ingram on the floor who needs to dribble and get into space and loves to get into little turnaround mid-range jumper it’s just not the best idea I don’t think same thing with a Demar D rozan trade it’s just not the best idea it’s their plan B I don’t think it’s terrible again at the end of the day you almost beat the Knicks which then you probably would have beat the Pacers and you probably would have been in the Eastern Conference Finals if Tobias Harris didn’t absolutely suck we can look at depth but realistically Nick nurse played eight guys in the playoffs so we need to get the best eight guys it’s what you need to do B Brandon Ingram gives you a better chance than what we had in the first round this year and I understand why it’s it would be the Sixers fall fallback plan or or second option you know if they can’t land uh if they can’t Swindle Paul George away from La by just offering him more money than the Clippers are uh but I guess he’s young enough too then it gives you a little bit more of a future outlook as far as like you know what after Joel embiid inevitably can’t walk in two years knock on wood not trying to wish harm on the guy at all but let’s be serious his knees look like they were in uh World War III on the front lines uh so I don’t absolutely hate the Brandon Ingram thing but that is their that is their uh their backup plan if they can’t land Paul George and you know we did the thing with uh Jake fiser from Yahoo who was explaining why teams try to get three allst stars on a team and it’s just what Daryl m is going to do you know he’s going to try to get a third star uh their number one option is Paul George their second option is is Brandon Ingram right now uh what you guys think man what you talking about in the chat where my chat go man no wonder I can’t see what you guys are saying I had I had it covered up what’s going on in the chat man what you guys talking about bro uh Mr Rudy drops another Super Chat thank you sir appreciate the support the pull up Point pull up PG’s last playoff series way off p is cooked and the Sixers are cooked if we get him yeah I I was looking at that last playoff series against the Mavericks and it it wasn’t great it wasn’t great at all um but you know the year before that he had a sprained UC the year before that he had a really good uh playoffs so yeah that was three years ago the difference between 32 and 35 is a lot bigger than the difference between 22 and 25 you know when you get into your mid-30s every year wasted is another year of age uh so I’m not disagreeing with you at all bro I’m not I’m just telling you Mr Rudy we got to look at what’s Daryl Mor going to do and we got to accept it and we got to say that’s what’s going to Happ happen he’s going to he’s going after Paul George and if you can’t get him Brandon Ingram is probably his second option that’s what he’s going to do we can sit here till we’re blew in the face and say that’s a bad idea do you think Daryl Mor listens to anybody no the guy trolled the fans in front of a crumbled cookie building dude he’s an idiot inevitably he’s going to make a signing the Sixers are going to implode and collapse again and it’s going to turn out how it always turns out let’s be real why would it work out it’s the 76ers man but I’m just I’m just I’m just SP I’m just giving you the giving you the the facts

Ingram is basically Walmart Kevin Durant. He can be a good no.3 but Pelicans will want multiple 1sts for him.

You Sixers fans kill me. You guys literally want nobody
I am so over it with this organization and the stupid moves they keep making year after year. And it always amazes me how all these other teams can find young 'no name' talent who ball out. Maybe we can bring in Howie Roseman. At their ages, I don't care for Ingram or George. I said a few years back we should've tried to get Donovan Mitchell and Pascal Siakam when we had the chance, but I think we'll have to trade Embiid while he still has some value, but if not, surround him with some bonafide shooters who can also rebound and defend. Am I asking for too much?
Three superstars doesn’t work – Phoenix and the Clippers both out in the first round. Boston and Dallas have two stars and a well built team of high end role players and are going to play for the championship.
Just get PG and hope for the best. He’s the best fit the injury stuff is just what it is mayne
If we were to fill up the roster will just reliable role players, we’d go farther than Star hunting. We know Embiid will get injured next season, we need a bench that can actually do something when he’s inevitably out.
It doesn't even matter what they do. The window is closed!
You knows Moreys lazy cookie eating self cant build a team. He doesnt know basketball and just big names. This team isnt going anywhere, joel is going to probably go to another team soon. With this front office, its not even worth watching games anymore.
BI is a good component. I don't feel like he's a 'star' though, another talented guy that didn't fully reach expectation. The only real limitation the Sixers have this off-season is not caring enough about winning the chip to overspend. we can have more than 3 'stars,' just gotta pay the piper. trash the apron.
