THE New Orleans Pélicans exchange Ingram Brandon At Raptors of Toronto,, According to Shams Charania. In exchange for the old All-Star Forward, the Pélicans will receive Bruce Brown,, Kelly OlynykA first round choice in 2026 via the Indiana Pacers And a second round choice.
The agreement marks the end of the six-year mandate from Ingram to New Orleans and the greatest reshuffle Anthony Davis At Lakers in 2019.
Ingram, with Lonzo Boule,, Josh Hart And the draft choices represented the return to the Davis agreement. The Pelicans hoped that Ingram and Zion Williamson could join forces to be their masterpieces in the future, and the selection of the stars of Ingram in 2020 has only strengthened this hope. This offseason, they signed it with a maximum contract of five years in a limited free agency after winning the most improved price of players.
But Ingram has not yet reproduced this success. This season, Ingram is on average 22.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.2 assists during his 18 games played, but he has not seen the court since early December due to an injury to The ankle. He did not play more than 64 games in one season, because injuries have become a lasting theme. The same thing was true for Williamson, and the duo, whose balls on the ball have often clashed, have never been completely synchronized as the basis of a team of winning pelicans. With Ingram due to an extension of contract this offseason and little traction on a possible new agreement, New Orleans has passed the offseason to try and not move it.
Now, however, they have reached an agreement, and the Pelicans, seated in 14th place in the classification of the Western Conference at 12-39, are heading for a reset with what should be one of the best choices of the 2025 in charge 2025 NBA draft. The Pelicans are currently the third record of the third record of the League, which would have a chance of 14% of choice n ° 1 and a selection of seven top-seven guarantees.
Ingram, meanwhile, goes to a new house in Toronto, where it could potentially prolong in the long term and stay for the rest of its peak. It will be interesting to see what type of agreement the two parties negotiate, however, taking into account the history of the injuries of Ingram and the cap of cap already heavy from the raptors.
Whatever the long ingrand in Toronto, he will give raptors a reliable scorer and a secondary playmaker who can help to keep part of the offensive burden of tastes away Scottie Barnes And RJ Barrett.
