He's great if he wants to play.


I personally think New Orleans is the problem. Gayle Benson needs to sell the team. Mulitple players have proven to fall in a funk of some sorts when they're on the Pelicans payroll. The city doesn't appeal to athletes.

I don't mind missing out on an expiring Ingram. Especially when Pelicans were trying to rack us out of extra draft capital (all because we swindled them in the DeJounte/Dyson Trade?) Better to make no deal than an actively harmful deal.


But yes. It'll be really difficult to bring Clint and/or Bogdan back into the fold...if that's how this plays out.

Giving up any draft capital for this rental would have been monumentally dumb.

Sounds like Toronto was looking for a long-term relationship with BI whilst Hawks were merely seeking the metaphorical 'Booty Call'.

Thus explains Toronto's willingness to include a future draft pick.

This guy isn't even ready to play, I'll see if he's upgraded to questionable soon.
Where the offseason has more buzz happens.

Toronto needs him to play to see how he vibes with the team, but they need to continue to focus on Cooper Flagg so winning games can wait until next season. Ingram gets extended for $40m or more per year this offseason.
