A Cleveland Cavaliers trade for star forward Brandon Ingram still makes sense for the team.
After falling in the second round of the NBA Playoffs, many expected the Cavaliers to get aggressive this offseason. That hasn't been the case so far, but there is still time left to make a big move or two.Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, and Jarrett Allen have all received major contract extensions this offseason. However, the move to extend Allen kept Cleveland's options open.
Ingram is one of the most pure scorers in the NBA. That is an area that Cleveland could use more help. He would be able to take a lot of pressure off of Mitchell. During the 2023-24 NBA season with the Pelicans, Ingram ended up playing in 64 games. He averaged 20.8 points per game to go along with 5.7 assists and 5.1 rebounds. In addition to those averages, he shot 49.2 percent from the floor and 35.5 percent from three-point range.
It isn't very often that a team has the opportunity to acquire a talent like Ingram. His ability to score and his age would be exactly what Cleveland needs. Allen is a quality piece for the front-court, but he doesn't make the same kind of impact that Ingram does.
