Forget max extension, what if #Pelicans offer Brandon Ingram extension of 2-years, $60-70 mil (like Porzingis got from Boston) and he gets upset, privately demands trade. Would Houston be interested? I’d like this deal 🤷🏻♂️ NOLA needs to build around Zion! GET shooters! Thoughts 🤔
What a week in New Orleans with @McIlroyRory. To win on the PGA TOUR again is a dream but to do it with a great friend is even better. Thanks to Zurich and the people in New Orleans for an amazing week and thanks to everyone for their support. 💚☘️
New Orleans is one of the great cities of the world! I was home for just a few hours and the culture of my beloved home was rejuvenating, inspiring, life affirming, and was an epiphany. The great Albert Murray taught me that culture is the literal intersection of life and people
Translation: BI cannot get the 4-year, $221 million extension he’s eligible for this offseason!

Your 2024 @Zurich_Classic Champions: Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry🇮🇪🇮🇪
The 2024 @Zurich_Classic champs leaving the course after a sudden-death playoff win! Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry 🇮🇪🇮🇪 What a week at TPC Louisiana. What a week for New Orleans.
I’m told #Saints jack-of-all-trades and BYU product Taysom Hill had dinner last night at Desi Vega’s Steakhouse with Patrick Fishburn and Zach Blair, both former BYU golf teammates…who start Sunday’s @Zurich_Classic final round as the leaders. Taysom at TPC watching them today.
Brandon Ingram is very good player, but not elite alpha, probably 3rd best player on championship team. That’s clear now, right? That said, Griff & Willie LOVE BI, so does Gayle Benson allow them to offer him 4-year, $221 million 😳 extension he’s eligible for this summer? 🤔🤨

One take that I have that I'm not married to but I become more and more convinced of with each passing day is that CJ McCollum is a better offensive player than Brandon Ingram. Better shooter, plays with more pace, can play on or off ball.

Mark Daigneault started as a student manager at UConn. He worked as an assistant at Holy Cross, then at Florida under Billy Donovan. OKC's G League team hired him, then he took over the Thunder in the midst of a rebuild. Now, Daigneault is the NBA Coach of the Year.
With Willie's comment about maybe getting more shooting on the court tonight, it's a reminder that there's been an organizational issue with its young guys with more upside getting too limited of minutes in each year of the Willie era.
All of this thread is so good. With Trey two years ago, Dyson last year, and Hawk this year, it's less about "those guys need to play because they'll help you win immediately" and more about the fact that you need those guys to play and develop in the short and long-term.
The prospect of generating a ~$30M trade exception can't be overlooked. With the new 90% rule in the CBA and how teams need to spend 90% of the cap by start of the season, a TPE that doesn't expire for a year is a massive market advantage
Swap Ivey with Duren, take # 21 from the Pels and this would be one of my favorite deals. Duren, top 4 pick, $30M trade exception in BI, 21 out

Ingram was cooking Jae Crowder and Torrey Craig two years ago. Dort is in a different class as a defender. Think Dort at POA, Ingram's struggles with physicality, Chet > Ayton as rim protector, and Ingram trying to get up to speed after injury have all gone into this.
Two years ago, Brandon Ingram scored 30-plus three times in the first round against the Suns. He has yet to crack 20 points vs. the Thunder. "I’m not happy with none of my performances from the playoffs," Ingram said. nola.com/sports/pelican…

How many players in history who made zero ALL NBA teams, zero ALL DEFENSE teams, zero ALL-STAR teams, and had zero playoff series wins for the duration of their second contract got a full 30% max for their third deal?
Now, a big reason for that is that he has horrific shot selection which includes his proclivity for taking the most inefficient shots, but nerds would love BI if he took the exact same shots but had a 62% TS%. We just have enough data that shows he's an average efficiency guy.
It's somewhat semantics, but I've seen a few people say stuff like, "nerds were right. Ingram takes too many midrangers," and that was never the core issue. The nerds' issue with BI is that he's not actually efficient and that BI possessions get you further from great offense.
I get that people love Herb, but you win in the playoffs because your stars are amazing and then role players play better than their vacuum skill set because the stars have all the focus on them If the Pels ever get the chance to trade Herb in a package, they should take it.
