[Sidery] The Pelicans are not expected to offer Brandon Ingram a contract extension this offseason.

  • May 6, 2024


Ingram is eligible to sign a four-year, $208 million deal, but New Orleans will be going in another direction.

Trey Murphy III is also eligible for a rookie-scale extension expected to pay him $20-25 million annually.

All signs point towards New Orleans prioritizing Murphy over Ingram as their wing of the future.

New Orleans will have Ingram’s $36 million salary and valuable draft capital to attempt to pair another star alongside Zion Williamson

  1. Get in as a third team to help facilitate a deal to get more draft assets and capital.  Act like a team under the cap and build around Embiid and Maxey.

  2. would be cool but i dont think theyd take tobi, paul reed, and a first

  5. I get why everyone is hesitant with Ingram but i think he would fit perfectly in this offense. It’s a high risk high reward signing but at this point any free agent we sign is high risk high reward. PG and Jimmy are both declining assets meanwhile Ingram is only 26!!!! I can’t be the only one who doesn’t hate the idea of giving this kid a shot

  6. Never really liked him. Just watched 10 mins of his highlights and I still don’t like him. But if we had him instead of Tobias we’d be in the 2nd round

  8. Ingram is not that guy, so not surprised. I wouldn’t bother with him either if I’m Morey unless he comes at a pretty big discount.

  9. He’s better than Tobias, but that’s a low bar.

    Honestly, I’d fuck with him for the right price. At least he’s young, he’s 26 now. Will be 27 at the start of the season next year.

    He’s the only player I’m hearing rumored about coming to Philly that’s under 35. Here’s everyone’s age next season:

    Lebron James – 40 in Dec
    Kevin Durant – 36 in Sep
    Jimmy Butler – 35 in Sep
    Paul George – 35 in May (birthday was 3 days ago, happy birthday PG)

    I don’t want more old players. I don’t want more injury risks tied to big ass fucking contracts.

    If we are gonna sign old players I want Batum type guys. Shit even Lowry. Smart vets coming off the bench getting 15 minutes a night – not 9 figure contract going to old stars that are being held together with duct tape and children’s prayers.

    My only hope in all this is that Morey won’t waste the money because he’s smart enough to see it for what it is.

    I mean he didn’t give a max extension to Harden and that dude was like a brother to him. So I respect that he’s all about the business and won’t give out max contracts to old stars willy fucking nilly.
