  • Brandon Ingram was in trade rumors but the deal never happened. He’s still in New Orleans which is a problem for him and the team. This is a look at why BI’s reputation has taken a hit on the court and what his future looks like.

    Watching the fall of Brandon Ingram has been painful. It seems like its better to not make the playoffs or play FIBA than to get utterly destroyed and embarrassed on the big stage.
    I always like him. He carried the Pels when Zion was injured. Seemed like the ideal teammate, but it's hard to see guy comming back from this. Only winning a few playoff series as the main guy is going to erase this.

Tmax contracts are going to be worth more which will show who deserves it and who doesn't

    When you pay max for a star with no leadership skills, don't expect those skills just to show up one day, Pelicans. Even Kevin Durant never developed those. BI plays without passion, but the Pels have Zion, right? Right. He proved once again, although later in the season, that he cannot deal with injuries. His weight is not getting any better. Now they have a point guard who is on his third team. Still have no super stars, no leader on the floor, and they play out West. Ouch. We were all so eager to see Zion grow, but this has gone on for long enough. He has never been in shape after signing that first rookie contract. Good for him. He's won in life, but what a disappointment to miss out on what could have been.

    • @J-Hue
      @J-Hue Před 24 dny

      Durant definitely developed his leadership skills. Revisionist history can be very misleading.
      Durant has proven his leadership skills, leading OKC to 50 wins and the 2 seed out West with no Westbrook for around 60 games. Since then, his leadership in Brooklyn was great and that team looked scary good when healthy. Problem is, they were either not healthy, Kyrie was forced to sit for big stretches of the season for bogus reasons hurting their playoff seeding and chemistry and of course Harden being a complete space cadet.
      Now he's simply on the decline athletically. A decline accelerated by his acl injury which probably not NBA player has come back from to look even 80% as great as he did with that finished athleticism.
      Klay, for instance,went from all to barely starting quality. KD was a legit leader. The rest, you may have a solid point on.

    Or......
    Keep everyone on the team, let Ingram walk at the end of the season, and make the NBA pay for not willing to accept a trade from the Pelicans, and allow the Pelicans to have a starting lineup like this:
    G- Dejounte Murray
    G- Brandon Ingram
    SF-Herb Jones
    PF- Zion Williamson
    C- Y.Messi (Rookie)
    Bench
    6th Man #1- C.J. McCollum (G)

    The issue could be simple. BI just has to let teams know he's fine with 35-40M/yr and he'll have a host of teams wanting him. He's not a max player. His ppg is in line with a max player, but like I. Thomas (formerly Boston) that number just doesn't mean anything by itself. And if BI would like to change that perspective, he should sign something like a 2yr - 80M deal, play defense like he's never done before, embrace the heck out of whatever city he's in and never act like he's looking to get out, and whenever the 2yr deal is over he'll get a max contract. Simple.

      26 going into his prime is role player guy just yet. When he wants to be easily is a 25/5/5 guy.
