Brandon Ingram put brakes on potential trade to Utah?
Multiple league sources have relayed to me that the Pelicans and Jazz were deep in talks which were shut down by Ingram’s lack of desire to re-sign in Salt Lake City. This is important info, because it highlights that money is not presumably everything for Ingram. I do think it was in his best interests to just take the money, however. The cap landscape for next summer is a harsh one. Only the Brooklyn Nets project to have signficiant cap space, which will undoubtedly limit the number of Ingram suitors at the dollar figure he is seeking.Source: In the NO What’s the buzz on Twitter?

LaVine, who asked for a trade last season, is one. The Atlanta Hawks’ Trae Young, who is eligible for an extension next summer, is another, though the Hawks haven’t actively looked to trade Young. The Minnesota Timberwolves’ Julius Randle, who will be a free agent next summer after a shocking trade during training camp, left his agent and then switched back during his current contract. “At some point,” one general manager told ESPN, “you might see one of these guys just get traded for another.” -via ESPN / November 29, 2024
