The forward is eligible for a $208 million deal.
On Tuesday, Brian Windhorst provided more of that kind of information. Appearing on ESPN Cleveland to discuss a possible trade scenario involving the Cleveland Cavaliers, the insider revealed Ingram wants a big-money extension from whoever he suits up for next season.
"The reason that the Pelicans want to trade Brandon Ingram isn't because he's not a good player," Windhorst explained. "It's because he wants a $200 million contract extension and they don't want to give it. And whatever team trades for him inherits the exact same situation— a player who wants a $200 million contract extension."breaks down the issues with trading for Brandon Ingram, notably the fact that he wants a $200 million contract extension...
Ingram is eligible for a four-year, $208 million extension after he averaged 20.8 points per game in 2023-24. If he were to sign it, his average annual salary beginning in 2025-26 would be $52 million— on par with Stephen Curry , Joel Embiid , Paul George and LeBron James . Ingram is a good player but his accolades pale in comparison to those names; the Pelicans forward boasts only one All-Star selection in his career thus far.
Further complicating matters is the new CBA that makes it very difficult for teams to operate if they are paying above-average players like Ingram that much money. If, say, a team like the Cavaliers acquired Ingram and gave him the extension he wants, the roster would be ludicrously expensiveIngram's scoring talent is apparent but the days of mid-tier players like him getting the maximum amount of money possible are gone.
