BI was looking for a "home/team" where the entire organization and players took bball seriously. He found that in TO.

Ingram has gone out of his way, unprompted, to praise Darko on 3 separate occasions over the last few weeks in his postgame interviews. He loves him.

Darko got him looking like a winning basketball player and not just a talented injury prone hooper looking for his buckets. That's how people viewed him and that's why many gave up on him. You can tell he's got a new found love for the game.

Exactly. Those are the wrong type of guys to chase, but a deal that works out the way the BI deal has thus far? That's a little more interesting, to be sure.


i'ts kinda interesting....it's now broken out when raps were exploring trades in 2023 and 2024 for Pascal, they were always interested in Brandon Ingram

Interesting. He was definitely the right kind of deal. Now we just have to hope that he can stay healthy enough for his clear impact to be present enough to matter.
