Despite averaging 20.8 points on 49.2% shooting, 5.1 rebounds and 5.7 assists in 64 games last season, it appears that time is up for Brandon Ingram in New Orleans. Reports have surfaced of “intensified” trade talks involving him, and he may have already played his last game in a Pelicans jersey. This is the extreme consequence of the failure of the negotiations between the franchise and the player to define the contract renewal, whose figures that do not include the maximum possible would have disappointed the expectations of Ingram, who only has one year remaining on his current contract, which will see him pocket a whopping $6 million in 2024-25. NBA insiders, incredibly, have not been able to know until now which franchises New Orleans is negotiating the trade with.
Where could Brandon Ingram end up? According to insider Marc Stein, the Sacramento Kings are among the franchises that have explored the possibility of taking the player, and they would also have the space to do so. However, the Californian franchise’s notebook does not only include Ingram’s name: evaluations are underway also for Lauri Markkanen, DeMar DeRozan and Kyle Kuzma. On the table the Kings would put Harrison Barnes, Kevin Huerter and picks.
