Brandon Ingrams Camp Joins Pelicans In Searching For Trade Scenarios

The New Orleans Pelicans have scoured Brandon Ingram’s trade market and sources tell Marc Stein that his camp has also joined the efforts to find a solution. Ingram is seeking a four-year extension worth nearly $210 million. Ingram is represented by Jeff Schwartz and Jordan Gertler.

The Pelicans have made it clear they’re not interested in an extension at that price tag, and no other team has emerged with that type of appetite either. Ingram is on a $36 million expiring contract.

The Pelicans would prefer not to have Ingram play out the final season of his contract on their team if they’re unable to agree to terms on a more manageable contract. Herb Jones and Trey Murphy III are expected to have bigger roles for the Pelicans on the wings.
