    I am afraid Magic bringing up 20 ppg might be the worst thing to happen to BI. It's a noble goal, but probably one that should've been kept in-house and not made so public. Now, you've got him pressing trying to be Kobe when there are stronger players in the YMCA biddy league. The talent is there, he just has to let the game come to him. Also...hit the weights, kid. Get on roids. Do something lol

    i dont see this so called talent, all he does is either shoot mid range or force a drive, nothing new to his game, no creativity whatsoever

    Sorry but Ingram can’t shoot 15 shots if he’s only going to make 3. I thought this was a terrible games for him. Unfortunately this is a trend. He can’t finish at the rim at all. He can’t keep going iso. That’s not his game. I’m really disappointed in him lately. He’s a smart enough player to be able to make an impact if his shots not falling but now all he wants to do is score and it’s not working.

    I'm not saying he's a bust, but he shouldn't be starting or shooting 10+ times a game.

    I laughed at the Prince comparisons.

    I'd gladly take that now.

    So bad, so, so bad. I keep hoping he’ll figure it out, he was my favorite player last season, but it’s painful to watch him try right now. Looks lost, forcing things, not doing the little things on defense either. Still too early to give up, but damn the way he looks right now, if we could have had PG for him, Magic and Rob are probably wishing for a time machine right now.

    After 1 Summer League game, I was enamored with him; I thought he could be one of the best players in the league. Note to self: I suck at scouting. I think he could be a decent to good player, but he's probably not the star I thought he was; as @Weezy said, I wish we did have a time machine. I'd trade Ingram/Deng for PG13.

    Ugh.

    So remember when we thought we could trade Randle with Deng?

    Turns out, we're going to have to trade INGRAM to dump Deng and I'm OK with it

    If pelicans struggle like us...could see an Ingram/Deng deal for Cousins go down. Heck,throw in Clarkson and Randle if you have to.

    I wouldn't be that desperate for Cousins. Sure he's an allstar. But he's also a loser. We pull that trade off and we'd probably end up with a worse record.
