Nope. Fk the Nets.

I won’t believe all of these injury stories until they start missing playoff games

The chemistry between Ingram and Zion is like two south pole magnets.

It's pretty obvious they don't make each other better and they don't particularly enjoy playing together.

Not a huge Ingram fan. I'd trade him for a guard who better complements Zion if I were NO, and put more off-ball/3D players on the wings who can feast off the main pick-and-roll action.

BI wants to be the one dominating the ball but svg gives that role to the golden boy Zion.

SVG is an overrated coach from his days in Orlando. If Thibs were coaching NO, they would be a top 8 seed in the west with all the talent they have on that team.

Too bad I have a black heart and feel nothing but joy on the inside.

the nets can probably get by anybody they'd face in round 1 with just 2 of them

I'm curious, but why? Something about him just doesn't seem right to me. Like he's only going through the motions when he played against us. I know that he and Zion aren't a good fit, but still.

i feel like stan van gundy sucked the life out of that team. ingram looked a lot better last season when stan wasn't there. i would def take ingram with open hands. we need a 3 level scorer like him. plus with our coaching staff, i'd expect him to play with a higher motor and we'll get the best out of him imo. if the pelicans are looking to move him, we should be all over that. a big 3 of ingram/randle/rj is pretty good. ingram is also just 23 years old, so plenty of upside still.

i was thinking we give up a bunch of picks and our whole team besides RJ and Randle. probably unrealistic though.

I guess that can be true. He does add another dimension to our team in terms of spreading the floor, but like sham said, he won't come cheap.

I feel that Ingram's potential wouldn't be fully unlocked here unless we first address our problem at the guard position. Other than Rose, we really lack a playmaker and as much as I like Quickley, he's not there yet. If we can address that problem first, I would be curious to see how we can get someone like him.

BI is not a winning player. He is not sharing the ball, he is not playing defense, he relies too much on his shooting which is never good unless you are not named Steph Curry or Klay Thompson and he is yet to lead a team to actually winning goddamn games.

Do you remember last year's Siakam? He led his team to wins. Do you remember him making clutch points and actually contributing a lot to winning a title? I do. Yet I wouldn't give him all that money. Why the hell would I do that for Ingram, how is he any better than Siakam.

Nothing we could offer for ingram. They already have an insane amount of picks, other than IQ, what can we really offer them ?

Isn't Ingram a much more reliable shooter?
