Brandon Ingram, Pelicans Haven't Found Trade With Team He's Likely To Stay With Long-Term
The New Orleans Pelicans and Brandon Ingram reached a stalemate on extension talks this past summer and have also struggled to find a deal with a franchise he is comfortable signing a new contract with, sources tell ESPN. Another complicating factor on an Ingram trade is that the Pelicans will not want to take surplus salary back. Ingram is on a $36 million expiring contract and recently changed agents. In 16 games this season, Ingram is averaging 22.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.4 assists in 33.7 minutes. Ingram has also greatly increased his three-point frequency at 6.7 per game and 36.4 percent efficiency. Ingram made one All-Star Game in 2020.
