Kings after Ingram
- Thread starter Section 101
- Start date
Many of us thought either Fox or Hali would eventually be traded because of the positional logjam. Also, we didn't have a core big man at the time.
Ingram/Murray does not create the same sort of positional logjam that would prevent them being fully effective when on the court together. Also, now we have a core. Our job is to add the final touches to that core, not shuffle the deck chairs.

I can't see Griff wanting anything but FRP's if he goes to you guys (as I said matching salary too). He wants those as bait. If not, he's not gonna do the trade with y'all as he'll hold out for another deal imo or a 3-way trade with you guys included. We don't need BI any longer as his Salary (new contract) doesn't make sense with Murphy ready to take his place.
I couldn't believe we got DJM without giving up BI since that was the word for a while. So the Pels are sitting pretty good with players, and all of our picks plus a Milwaukee 1st.

If Keegan is to be traded away, it better be for a better player than Brandon Ingram.
BI is a very good player when healthy, but there are better players/packages to be had for Keegan Murray.
Keegster is 3 years younger than BI with higher all-around potential and a clean injury history. I refuse to accept that Ingram has more value, especially on an expiring contract.

Can anyone think of other teams that make sense for BI. I’ve come up with:
Warriors- Pels prob prefer our package over a Wiggins + deal
Detroit- new GM connection
Cavs- they have a long jam at center. Feel like this would have happened already if it was going to but who knows.
Orlando? W Carter and change plus picks? That could make some sense I guess if the Magic want three forwards

Eh, they beat NOP plenty up until last season. Last season was an anomaly, not the rule. Otherwise are your really going to expect the KINGS to sweep the Lakers every season going forward, too? And also beat Jokić 3-1 going forward?
There’s far too many people making too much out of this Pelicans thing.

Absolutely.
Also, if Keegan is to be included in any way shape or form — for which I am not advocating — Markkanan is much closer to the type of player they better be acquiring in return IMO.
Although, admittedly, Lauri is the same age as BI and also has injury concerns, having never player more than 68 games in a season. Both are expirings. While BI is likely the better 2-way player, I just like Lauri better as a 7 foot talent who is a top level shooter that can also score in other ways. I just think his personality, demeanor, and playing style are better fits with this current group.
