Brandon Ingram To Sign With Klutch Sports Group

[RealGM Wiretap]

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram is signing with Klutch Sports Group for his representation. Ingram was previously represented by Excel Sports Management.

Ingram is expected to be one of the top free agents available this coming offseason. The veteran forward has been unable to reach agreement on a contract extension with the Pelicans. Ingram remains extension-eligible until through June 30th of next year.

New Orleans has also looked to trade Ingram since last offseason. However, the Pelicans have been unable to find a trade that works for them, while also sending Ingram to a team he'd re-sign with.

I'm not sure how NOP is screwing this up so bad. The guy is averaging 23/6/5 and he's been doing that for a hand full of years. He's clearly not a max player, but are you telling me they can't put a number in front of him that he's scared to turn down? That would still be a tradeable contract.

NOP is going to end up with whatever table scraps Ingram's new team sends back in the S&T!
