The New Orleans Pelicans are facing pressure to resolve the situation surrounding All-Star forward Brandon Ingram, who has been a topic of trade rumors without progress. His market appears weak, similar to Zach LaVine of the Chicago Bulls, making it challenging for New Orleans to find a suitable trade partner.

The team is currently dealing with a crowded roster and faces the risk of player dissatisfaction if roles aren't managed properly. With the season approaching, time is running out for a resolution.

One potential suitor for Ingram could be the Utah Jazz, which may seek to acquire him at a lower price, especially given their previous trades that yielded future assets. This move could open opportunities for both teams.
