Full quote: “Brandon Ingram has one year remaining on his contract. On July 6, he becomes eligible for sign a four-year extension worth $208 million. The Pelicans value Ingram’s talent and his down-to-earth personality, but as The Times-Picayune reported in May, the team does not have a willingness to pay him a contract worth $52 million in annual average value.”

Will he take threefifty?
is anyone?
That’s why the trade value is a lot less than people think.
I don’t blame them…
I just want our FO to do something. We have so many picks, and picks don’t win championships. We’re wasting away Zion’s prime, a cheap Herb and Trey, and a still serviceable CJ
So you just take what you can now right? I mean why wait another year for him to be a free agent and walk away with nothing for the Pels…
I struggle to find a team that would pay him that but would also be 1.) able and willing to sign him in FA in a year and 2.) would be a trade partner we would accept
Which makes me think given how much agents and agencies have sources in pretty much every organization, that BI probably knows that right now he’s not getting 52 million from anyone
We should’ve traded him last year when his trade value was higher
I’m willing to run back his current contract, but $52 million/year is too much for any team. And Ingram is one of my favorite players.
