Pelicans more likely to trade than extend Brandon Ingram

With the way the dominoes are currently falling, it seems more likely that Ingram gets traded and not extended by the Pelicans. According to Shams Charania of ESPN, the Pelicans simply don’t have the salary cap to give him what he wants. “They’ve been really bouncing trade versus extension since the offseason,” Charania said. “As it stands right now, because of their salary cap situation this year and the next years to come, an extension at even his current salary of $36 million, they just can’t reach it as an organization, as of right now. That’s what makes the trade route more likely.”Source: Sports Illustrated What’s the buzz on Twitter?
