New Orleans is finding out teams aren't going to trade superstar... and multiple 1sts to get Ingram to sign him to a Max extension.

If Cle thinks Ingram is missing piece then they need to put n 1st rd pick in future. Make it lottery protected or top 8 protected...

Then Cle gets 1 yr to see if Ingram should get a max. Tho he will get pd he not a max guy. 4yr 150 mil. .something Lil less than max of 200mil +.

New Orleans gets strus who spaces floor 4 zion & gets okoro whoonly in early 20s N improved 3 pt shot every yr & is a lock down drfender..

New Orleans gets good pieces o good contracts & don't lose Ingram 4 nothing..

I don't see teams giving up multiple 1sts unprotected for 1 yr , then having to pay guy max $ ...

New Orleans could a & should a moved him few yrs ago when he had more yrs on his deal , & more valuable of an asset.
