It's another round of tour. The reconstructed Pelicans still can't go further in the playoffs. The future of some players may change because of this. This team is extremely talented. If Zion is not injured, then the first round of the playoffs will not be swept out by Thunder. It is also a youth army. The Pelican team has a more complete and healthy lineup. It has all kinds of height, size, projection, superstars and high-quality role players.
However, the team is still not far away, which is related to one of the core players, Ingram:
This season's regular season has 20.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.7 assists, and the three-point shooting rate is 35.5%, which is significantly lower than that of last season; After the playoffs, he averaged 14.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 34.5% shooting percentage and 25% three-point shooting percentage; Such a bad performance, of course, can not match its status as the top ranked player, so it is reasonable to be abandoned by the team's management.
Team reporter Will Guillory revealed that the Pelicans are considering extending Murphy's contract instead of Ingram; Stein of Mingji said that it was inevitable that Ingram would be traded, and 76 people, knights, magic and eagles would become his potential clients.
At the same time, FADEAWAY WORLD, a famous American media, wrote an article to speculate about Ingram's five potential families, as follows:
No. 1 - Bucks
The potential transaction scheme is as follows:
New Orleans Pelicans got: Chris Middleton, Marjon Boshan, Andre Jackson;
Milwaukee Bucks got: Brandon Ingram;
The decline of Middleton's state has become the reason for the decline of Bucks' competitiveness. Lillard cannot help the Bucks dominate the east; And Ingram's height and good offensive ability can help this team return to the championship. At that time, they will form a strong team like "Lillard, Ingram, Portis, Alphabet Brother and Dalloz". The Pelican team can also obtain three strong players, the team's lineup thickness has further improved, and the probability of playing in the playoffs again is also great.
No. 2 - 76
The potential transaction scheme is as follows:
The New Orleans Pelican won: Tobias Harris, Buddy Hilde, the first round draft swap in 2026;
Philadelphia 76ers got: Brandon Ingram;
We also know that after the 76ers were out of the first round, this team must continue to trade reinforcements during the off-season. However, Harris' playing style does not match this team. Ingram, who can get 20.8 points, 5.7 assists and 5.1 rebounds per game, is obviously more suitable. The 76 people will get a younger and more productive scorer, which can significantly improve their flank attack. Pelicans will get veteran to fill the vacancy created by Ingram's departure, and will also get the right to draft in the future. They will not lose now or in the future.
Third place - Cavaliers
The potential transaction scheme is as follows:
New Orleans Pelicans got: Jarrett Allen, Isaac Okoro, Max Struss;
Cleveland Cavaliers got: Brandon Ingram;
No matter how strong Mitchell is, it is still difficult to defeat four hands with two fists after all. This team lacks a top player on the flank; Once there is no reinforcement during the offseason, Mitchell is likely to leave Cleveland, and the management cannot fail to realize this. Ingram is very suitable for this role. He can score anywhere on the court, which will provide the Cavaliers with a badly needed offensive short board. Pelicans may let Wa Lan go. Allen can get 10.6 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game this season. He can provide strong inside defense and efficient scoring in the paint area.
No. 4 - Nets
The potential transaction scheme is as follows:
New Orleans Pelicans got: Kam Thomas, Dorian Finney Smith, Kam Johnson;
The Brooklyn Nets got: Brandon Ingram;
Although the Nets have a group of flanks, most of them are role players with ordinary ball holding ability, so they need an all-around front line to join, and the team has the opportunity to play back in the playoffs. Ingram can play many roles. The versatile striker's 5.7 assists per game is enough to share the organizational pressure of the guard. With the addition of Fenny Smith and Kam Johnson, the Pelican team's offensive and defensive strength in the outer line has been greatly improved, and the team's lineup thickness has become very scary.
No. 5 - Pacers
The potential transaction scheme is as follows:
The New Orleans Pelican won: Benedict Mathurin, Aaron Nesmith, Isaiah Jackson, the first round draft in 2028;
Indiana Pacers won: Brandon Ingram;
The Pacers of this season have returned to the playoffs. At present, they are competing with the disabled Knicks in the semi-finals, but they still lack a top small forward, so as to share the pressure of Halliburton. Ingram's talent and practical experience are fully qualified for this role, and the Pacers will certainly consider this transaction. For the Pelican team, it also benefited a lot, with a large number of role players and a first round signing.
