Brandon Ingram's future with the New Orleans Pelicans remains uncertain amid stalled contract extension talks and ongoing trade speculation. The Pelicans are reportedly unwilling to offer Ingram a max contract, a stance that has led to numerous trade proposals involving the star forward. One suggested trade would send Ingram to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for Cameron Johnson and Dorian Finney-Smith, while another involves a three-team deal with the San Antonio Spurs and Cleveland Cavaliers, bringing Jarrett Allen and other assets to New Orleans. With the team prioritizing an extension for Trey Murphy, Ingram's departure seems increasingly likely before the NBA trade deadline. Ingram's absence from a voluntary minicamp has further fueled speculation about a disconnect with the team.
