Average and better defensive players on the roster, Bam, Butler and Richardson.
Players who are probably below average defenders? Everyone but those previous 3.

The people demanded positivity. And they are getting it.
Just don’t forget to clown on Pat as soon as the outlandish expectations don’t pan out.

Ingram not getting traded reminds me alot of Trae situation. They want/wanted to trade him, but just because they were open to it didn't mean they were going to lower their asking price of what they think they're worth.
No one wants to pay the price for Ingram, who is indeed an all star type talent (when healthy) and give up a ton in the process that takes to land a top 40 talent and then give him a max of 4-208M which is what he's demanding/expecting.
If you're overpaying in the trade AND on the contract, you're not getting far. Ingram deserves more of a derrick white type deal 32M per or OG deal, that pays 43M per year instead of 52M which is what he wants.
Listening to the windhorst podcast yesterday, Ingram turned down a max extension last offseason because he bet on himself to make all nba this year and get a super max. That's some wild and impressive confidence, but ultimately foolish.

If you're paying for BI you have to decide if he can one of your top 3 or better player on your team and with that pay him appropriately. If you don't want him as a top 3 player on your team don't trade/pay for him.
Whatever team has him could let him enter FA and possible lose him or get him to accept the contract you feel comfortable with.

Have a feeling BI gets sent to the Blazers here soon for Ayton. Pels desperately need a Center and Ayton basically makes the same amount as Ingram. Blazers are rolling 3 Centers deep right now with Ayton, Clingan, and Time Lord. Something gotta give there with that depth chart.
