2024-25 Team Developments: Trades / Free Agents / News / Rumors / Ideas

To clarify, he’s on a $36 million expiring contract.

So while that’s what we’d have to match in a trade, it would likely be a situation where you are trading for him under the agreement that you are immediately giving him a max extension. Either that, or you’re trading your assets for someone you risk walking in free agency the following year.

 

i mentioned him a while back and everyone got mad at me.

new orleans basically has no size right now, so i'm guessing that's what they want back for ingram. and i'm also guessing they'd like to lower the salary commitments a bit.

i'm not sure there's a great deal to be had, but i will say that a) we have worked with them before and b) they now don't have the added disincentive of owning our pick, so if a deal works for both sides, they'd do it.

i just think there isn't a 1-1 match here.

I like Brandon on offense, but he doesn’t play much defense at all. Plus, he’s not a piece that you pair with AD for the next 3-4 seasons. We would also be crazy to give up TWO firsts for his services.
I wish him well wherever he ends up, but I hope it’s not with us.

 

I wonder if Utah, Nets and Portland are holding out their wings for the Ingram fallout... same with Derozan.

 

No, no it’s not. But, I bet Rob will do something because of the pressure to immediately upgrade a play-in squad, even if it means giving up too much.
I’m actually fine with just trading for a serviceable big with DLo going out and Dinwiddie starting at the point.

 

Cool- what else?

 

Thanks for the information

 

I’d be over the moon excited to bring BI back. He was my favorite post Kobe era Laker and still is.
AR
BI
Vando
Lebron
AD
That’s a damn good starting 5.

 

A lot of people were in love with Ingram and Clarkson for no apparent reason. Neither would be a good fit with Lebron, AD and Reaves because they need the ball in their hands and are low-volume three-point shooters. Similar fit problem as Westbrook and DDR.

 

Well, we still are so don’t bring it up again.

 

On offense, yes, but would be severely defensively challenged.

 

Clarkson off the bench as your microwave scorer would actually work.
Just imagine all the sick passes he’ll get from JHS!
