Pelicans, Brandon Ingram will 'play it out,' David Griffin says, as trade would be 'mechanically complicated'

If BI was seen as worth a max contract, someone would have made the necessary moves to make it happen. Period

Getting draft assets in return for a BI trade would also have enabled us to go after a center in a second trade.
The truth is that an exce see a wing like Ingram and think immediately that they are better off drafting one 1st overall than trying to trade for him. Came out with a statement that had no interest in Ingram.

https://www.si.com/nba/hawks/news/a...ple reports out from,sense as a trade target.

If that's not damaging... How about the two months after it of Pelicans trying to shop Ingram?

If you're MAX level salary... You have to play like one recently. Getting embarrassed in the playoffs avging 14ppg on bad efficiency no matter the injury... It is unacceptable at that salary.

If he was avging 32 points in that playoff series. He would be already gone.
