The NBA trade market is quiet for New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram, who is seeking a lucrative extension. Team president David Griffin indicates a preference for keeping Ingram, yet acknowledges financial constraints.
As the Pelicans navigate their roster, trading Ingram appears increasingly likely, especially with the addition of Dejounte Murray requiring adjustments. Potential trades with the Golden State Warriors and Atlanta Hawks have been proposed, involving multiple players and draft picks.
The proposed deals consider both immediate benefits and long-term impacts, but concerns exist regarding contracts and the ability to compete effectively in the league.
