Ingram is a rental at best and doesn’t really help move the needle. He is already overpaid and wants more which both teams know is an issue. Ingram will test free agency in hopes to get paid. His value to teams as a trade piece is not good regardless of talent. He has pretty much marked himself by saying pay me or I’m gone. No loyalty but that ok 👌

The pelicans could offer a protected pick and maybe a swap. Neither could yield ⚠️ but perhaps 🤔 it gets Ainge to take action. Maybe the bucks suck and end up in the lottery and Jazz get a top pick in 2025….wow Not likely! Bucks too good to fail!

The swap might be useless to Jazz as they may not own their pick in 2026. Already have that problem with pick swaps which is why Jazz got screwed on the favor trade with Thunder. lol 😆

Kessler is really good. Pelicans getting both Collins and Kessler is icing on the cake 🎂

Pelicans shouldn’t hesitate to do a deal. The Jazz get screwed as I don’t think Ingram wants to play even if paid to stay in Utah. Bad deal but maybe 🤔 Ingram changes his mind.
