A rumor has sent ripples through the NBA: the New Orleans Pelicans are reportedly steering clear of offering a contract extension to star forward Brandon Ingram this offseason. This decision marks a significant shift in team strategy, as the Pelicans appear to be repositioning their roster to focus more on developing younger talent, particularly Trey Murphy III, signaling a new era in New Orleans. Brandon Ingram, a central figure in the Pelicans' roster since his arrival as part of the Anthony Davis trade to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2019, is eligible for a hefty four-year, $208 million extension.
As the Philadelphia 76ers let the dust settle on another disappointing playoff loss, they are primed to make a big splash this offseason via trade or free agency. On Friday's episode of Get Up, ESPN's Brian Windhorst cited Jimmy Butler and Brandon Ingram as potential trade targets for the Sixers, though Paul George remains "the player at the top of their list" as he prepares to hit the open market this summer.
Although the end result was disappointing to many, the team reached the postseason for the second time in three seasons after finishing the regular season at 49-33. "It's just, you know, we were taking punch after punch, and it's unfortunate that it just seems to be the bug that's bitten us the past few years."
