The New Orleans Pelicans would be best served trading Brandon Ingram, and these three teams could be of interest.
The former All-Star is seeking a big-money, long-term deal that the Pelicans have been unwilling to meet his asking price for. That has led to trade rumors swirling, but his market reportedly isn’t very strong.
Alas, it only takes one suitor to get a deal done. While no team has emerged to this point, there are a few teams around the league who could have the Duke product among their favorite trade targets.The Chicago Bulls could see Ingram has a way to move off of Zach LaVine’s contract. It would some real maneuvering and the inclusion of several assets for anyone to take LaVine off of their hands, but a multi-team trade could do the trick.
That could be the player framework of a deal that each team comes away happy from. Chicago rids themselves of LaVine, potentially clearing a ton of cap. Utah doesn’t have a real need for LaVine, but Danny Ainge loves draft picks. The Pelicans' need for a center is addressed as well.New Orleans's need for a center comes into play here as well. Myles Turner is an ideal target for the Pelicans given his floor-spacing ability on offense and rim protection on defense.
Monetarily, something like Turner and Obi Toppin for Ingram works monetarily, but that isn’t a deal Indiana would have real interest in making. The Pacers aren't going to give him up easily, as David Griffin would have to sweeten the package with more than Ingram.
