Not feeling the title of this video. Most teams would love to have BI on their team. There are 2 issues in my opinion. His health, and he is up for a new contract next year. He's gonna want max dollars and it seems no one is going to want to pay him that with his injury history.
Someone will trade for him this happens every off season if the trade deadline is where teams are the most thirsty for either a play in spot or a playoff run assets to help them, the off season is when the post-nut clarity hits right now everything is cumbaya and chill until the war to get Cooper starts in january.

As a pelican fan my problem with Ingram is that he would always miss clutch shots. Everytime i watched him take a game winner or a clutch shot he missed.
This is a terrible take as before this year he was on par with deaaron fox with clutch scoring, and deaaron is considered one of the most clutch players in the league.
Idk I feel like Ingram can be a number 2 or 3 option on a championship team I still believe he would get a max when he is a free agent just watch and see

Watching the fall of Brandon Ingram has been painful. It seems like its better to not make the playoffs or play FIBA than to get utterly destroyed and embarrassed on the big stage. I always like him. He carried the Pels when Zion was injured. Seemed like the ideal teammate, but it's hard to see guy comming back from this. Only winning a few playoff series as the main guy is going to erase this.
When you pay max for a star with no leadership skills, don't expect those skills just to show up one day, Pelicans. Even Kevin Durant never developed those. BI plays without passion, but the Pels have Zion, right? Right. He proved once again, although later in the season, that he cannot deal with injuries. His weight is not getting any better. Now they have a point guard who is on his third team. Still have no super stars, no leader on the floor, and they play out West. Ouch. We were all so eager to see Zion grow, but this has gone on for long enough. He has never been in shape after signing that first rookie contract. Good for him. He's won in life, but what a disappointment to miss out on what could have been.
@JohnnytNatural they always pick the wrong guy??? herb jones was a 2nd round pick, trey murphy was picked outside the lottery and you're ignoring how zion had his best year this year and bi came from the the ad trade where they absolutely fleeced the lakers what should they have asked for instead??
Durant definitely developed his leadership skills. Revisionist history can be very misleading. Durant has proven his leadership skills, leading OKC to 50 wins and the 2 seed out West with no Westbrook for around 60 games. Since then, his leadership in Brooklyn was great and that team looked scary good when healthy. Problem is, they were either not healthy, Kyrie was forced to sit for big stretches of the season for bogus reasons hurting their playoff seeding and chemistry and of course Harden being a complete space cadet. Now he's simply on the decline athletically. A decline accelerated by his acl injury which probably not NBA player has come back from to look even 80% as great as he did with that finished athleticism. Klay, for instance,went from all to barely starting quality. KD was a legit leader. The rest, you may have a solid point on.
@JohnnytNatural so herb jones was a wrong pick, trey murphy was a wrong pick, dyson daniels was a wrong pick, and again should they have not asked for brandon ingram in the ad trade?? lol ignored every other point idc about arguing over zion it's not worth it (watch jj's point zion video if you actually want to know about how zion is developing his game) but explain how those other draft picks were the wrong guy

If he is the fourth best player you have a great team. If he is the third best player you have a good team. If he is the best or second best you better have a very versatile group of players and a deep bench.
As a NC native myself just like Ingram, I feel bad for him. I believe he still has it in him; he’ll possibly have a well needed comeback with his game.
Why comments always be hating on Casey? It’s y’all new subscribers, take your hate somewhere else cause Casey makes high quality informative entertaining consistent content.(lowkey sound like a burner but y’all annoying)

Yes.Before his injury had very good year.21 point because less FGA,he shoot good effencient,career high 5,8 ast,and play career best defense.in PO definitely wasn’t healthy…

Won't find a bigger advocate for weed, than myself. That being said, you can creep up behind BI, and blind him with dental floss. Some players, like Bill Walton, needed it to play through anxiety. There's levels to it, and BI takes it too far. Off the court, who cares. Stoned stupid on the court, and there's an issue. Hate to admit it, but you're not wrong.
Lol first of you dont know this. Second off you know who he smokes and admits. Kevin Durant. Plently of player smoke most teams would rather that than drinking alcohol.

All I know as a Pelicans fan, either Brandon Ingram or CJ McCollum or both has to leave the team. I'm sorry but you just have to make room for Trey Murphy to be in the starting lineup and setup his future contract. If do decide to keep B.I., then CJ has to go and vice versa Or...... Keep everyone on the team, let Ingram walk at the end of the season, and make the NBA pay for not willing to accept a trade from the Pelicans, and allow the Pelicans to have a starting lineup like this: G- Dejounte Murray G- Brandon Ingram SF-Herb Jones PF- Zion Williamson C- Y.Messi (Rookie) Bench 6th Man #1- C.J. McCollum (G) 6th Man #2- Trey Murphy (F/G) Role player#1-Jose Alvarado (PG) Role player #2- Jordan Hawkins (G/F) Prospect- Antonio Reeves (Rookie) (F/G) 11- Daniel Thesis C/F) 12- Jeremiah Robertson-Earl (F-C) Reserves 13-Matt Ryan (F/G) 14- Opened slot 15- Opened slot Note: I'm not counting two-way players.
@@miraikami8717 If Kobe came back to life and lost 19 straight games in the finals, HE WOULD STILL HAVE A BETTER FINALS RECORD THAN LeHairline. Let that sink in.
Thanks. I was wondering why he wasn't talked about much at all. I felt like he was best available. 2nd and even 3rd option money would be great for a player I think desire to be considered a 1. It's expect him to bet on himself and expect to win IF their dysfunctional team stays healthy.
I think BI is just in a crappy situation in New Orleans. That organization has hitched its wagon to Zion, and I don’t think it will work out. Ingram should take what he can get and move on.
Ingram had a very good season before his injury. He had lesser FGA,but shot career high 49.2%,career high 5,8 ast and play good defense. He developed on drives,because become stronger.In playoff he played injured,who saw pels games know it. I hope trade to a good coach,who use way better than Willie!
The new CBA makes guys like Ingram way leas valuable. Players that are stars but not super stars will be getting almost the same money as superstars. Teams just can’t afford to give out more than two max contracts anymore. The quality of those two max contract players is going to be what makes the difference for teams more than anything else.
BI reminds me of Michael Beasley - insane potential and everyone thought he'd be a superstar in the league and somehow it never worked out. BI was supposed to be KD 2.0 and it never happened.
He is close to being kd 2.0 the dude is still insane in the league and this season the pelicans were kind of like the black horse of the playoffs, unfortunately they didn't make it
The new cba is good for the nba. Specially if the teams can use this as leverage against greedy agents. So many players are over paid and under worked. Being paid a ton of money just to throw bricks or warm the bench.😅
His health is the reason why people are looking at him. When B.I is healthy he is a top 25 player in the league. Regardless Ingram would be good with Nuggets.
He’s not that guy, 20, 5, 5 guy who doesn’t push the needle for a contending team, he can’t shoot 3’s so he has to humble himself and take a Derozan deal
@@jaydenalvizio5908 he doesn’t take many of them, pelicans want to improve their spacing, he couldn’t perform well on team U.S.A. because he has to create a midrange shot 9/10 times, best team for him for awhile was Portland but they went cheaper and got Advija
The issue could be simple. BI just has to let teams know he's fine with 35-40M/yr and he'll have a host of teams wanting him. He's not a max player. His ppg is in line with a max player, but like I. Thomas (formerly Boston) that number just doesn't mean anything by itself. And if BI would like to change that perspective, he should sign something like a 2yr - 80M deal, play defense like he's never done before, embrace the heck out of whatever city he's in and never act like he's looking to get out, and whenever the 2yr deal is over he'll get a max contract. Simple.
EPM ranks him at #60 with +2.1. DPM at 1.98 with rk in mid 40's. Scoring has been league average past couple years & manages the ball well enough. Is there any analysis on EFF as being predictive of winning?
@@aaronpeters6209 Ingram has a little bit old school game...Maybe a different coach will make him a passer...He could be a great play-maker,but he plays like a point-guard ! And to be " efficient" point guard he actually needs to guard ! Basically whatever good he makes on offense ,he ruins it on defense ;and if his offense is not clicking he is unplayable ...
Ingram can't carry a franchise. But he can definitely keep one alive.
and zion can??

@JohnnytNatural they always pick the wrong guy??? herb jones was a 2nd round pick, trey murphy was picked outside the lottery and you're ignoring how zion had his best year this year and bi came from the the ad trade where they absolutely fleeced the lakers what should they have asked for instead??
Durant definitely developed his leadership skills. Revisionist history can be very misleading.
Durant has proven his leadership skills, leading OKC to 50 wins and the 2 seed out West with no Westbrook for around 60 games. Since then, his leadership in Brooklyn was great and that team looked scary good when healthy. Problem is, they were either not healthy, Kyrie was forced to sit for big stretches of the season for bogus reasons hurting their playoff seeding and chemistry and of course Harden being a complete space cadet.
Now he's simply on the decline athletically. A decline accelerated by his acl injury which probably not NBA player has come back from to look even 80% as great as he did with that finished athleticism.
Klay, for instance,went from all to barely starting quality. KD was a legit leader. The rest, you may have a solid point on.
@JohnnytNatural so herb jones was a wrong pick, trey murphy was a wrong pick, dyson daniels was a wrong pick, and again should they have not asked for brandon ingram in the ad trade?? lol ignored every other point idc about arguing over zion it's not worth it (watch jj's point zion video if you actually want to know about how zion is developing his game) but explain how those other draft picks were the wrong guy
@@J-Hue 😆😆😆developed his leadership skills ridin steph dik huuh lmao 🤣 stopppp soooo why he ain’t never won nothin since he left steph then (since he developed all these leadership skills) smh 🤦 stop while u ahead my guy
BI still one of my favorite players.
AM Hoopz best youtube sports show period
If he is the fourth best player you have a great team. If he is the third best player you have a good team. If he is the best or second best you better have a very versatile group of players and a deep bench.
As a NC native myself just like Ingram, I feel bad for him. I believe he still has it in him; he’ll possibly have a well needed comeback with his game.
Great vid as always
Why comments always be hating on Casey? It’s y’all new subscribers, take your hate somewhere else cause Casey makes high quality informative entertaining consistent content.(lowkey sound like a burner but y’all annoying)
BI would be so good somewhere where he can play the 2, same with Wiggins.
oh so the lost during Thunder match up is his fault? dont forget he sped up his recovery to just play in that series !!! people too undervalue him just bcs he had a bad year.. wheres everyone when he had good one? 🤷🏾
Yes.Before his injury had very good year.21 point because less FGA,he shoot good effencient,career high 5,8 ast,and play career best defense.in PO definitely wasn’t healthy…
Trust me a lot of fans wish they had Ingram on their team
Delusional Laker fans saying the AD trade was horrible are nowhere to be found right now.
Im here, i still wish we never got Ad and lebron and devolped the young cast.
@@dolphinitely_bro3944 You're crazy ngl look at the Pels, they're basically the old Lakers without LeBron and AD, how far were they from being a contender even with Zion Cj? 🤣
@@pauljoseph3081 zion is bron bro, zion is whats hurting the flow of that team. You cant just have a big guy who runs down the paint and dunks and doesnt play defense. I see the pels comparison to the lakers of that day, but really check out the few years after being traded, randal, ingram, russel, all did very well. I would have watched them devolp than earn that sad bubble chip
@@dolphinitely_bro3944 zion plays nothing like bron....
Develop? They failed for almost six years straight.
I would like to see him come back home #LakersNation
Not happening #lakersstink
why not put cj at the bench instead of bi? 0:23
Great analysis
SGA and Ingram are literally the same age. And you call shai the new young super star
Bro that photo you chose on the right is DIABOLICAL 💀
Learn your left from right
@@ReelLYFE_TV what are you talking about? 🤔
Hard to believe at this point but last year at this time Pels and Thunder were eye to eye.
Bro they still are
AM Hoops I love your videos!
He is holding himself back. He is a pothead.of course they won’t say it but go watch his interviews and he is always high. He is naturally good but he could be great if he could focus.
Won't find a bigger advocate for weed, than myself. That being said, you can creep up behind BI, and blind him with dental floss. Some players, like Bill Walton, needed it to play through anxiety. There's levels to it, and BI takes it too far. Off the court, who cares. Stoned stupid on the court, and there's an issue. Hate to admit it, but you're not wrong.
Lol first of you dont know this. Second off you know who he smokes and admits. Kevin Durant. Plently of player smoke most teams would rather that than drinking alcohol.
@@gobot581 ingram doesnt even smoke, lol. nba players that smoke openly admit it because they are allowed to smoke in there off time
@@gobot581 dude go watch interviews . He is blowed in most of them. Weed affects everyone differently. I know plenty of people who smoke who are fine but a lot who are not but claim to be the other.
I watched every video you uploaded. First thing I do when I opened RUclips is your new content. That's the importance of the algorithm. Keep up the good work!
Whats up Casey 👋
All I know as a Pelicans fan, either Brandon Ingram or CJ McCollum or both has to leave the team. I'm sorry but you just have to make room for Trey Murphy to be in the starting lineup and setup his future contract. If do decide to keep B.I., then CJ has to go and vice versa
Or......
Keep everyone on the team, let Ingram walk at the end of the season, and make the NBA pay for not willing to accept a trade from the Pelicans, and allow the Pelicans to have a starting lineup like this:
G- Dejounte Murray
G- Brandon Ingram
SF-Herb Jones
PF- Zion Williamson
C- Y.Messi (Rookie)
Bench
6th Man #1- C.J. McCollum (G)
6th Man #2- Trey Murphy (F/G)
Role player#1-Jose Alvarado (PG)
Role player #2- Jordan Hawkins (G/F)
Prospect- Antonio Reeves (Rookie) (F/G)
11- Daniel Thesis C/F)
12- Jeremiah Robertson-Earl (F-C)
Reserves
13-Matt Ryan (F/G)
14- Opened slot
15- Opened slot
Note: I'm not counting two-way players.
Kobe > LeHairline
Facts 💯
Why tho ?
@@miraikami8717 If Kobe came back to life and lost 19 straight games in the finals, HE WOULD STILL HAVE A BETTER FINALS RECORD THAN LeHairline. Let that sink in.
@@dobiacco 💯 I feel the same way
Get that shit outta ya ass
Thanks. I was wondering why he wasn't talked about much at all. I felt like he was best available. 2nd and even 3rd option money would be great for a player I think desire to be considered a 1. It's expect him to bet on himself and expect to win IF their dysfunctional team stays healthy.
I think BI is just in a crappy situation in New Orleans. That organization has hitched its wagon to Zion, and I don’t think it will work out. Ingram should take what he can get and move on.
The thumbnail picture is the killer!
If I’m bucks I’ll trade Middleton for BI 4sho
No thanks
No one is taking Middleton sorry bucks fan
Ingram had a very good season before his injury.
He had lesser FGA,but shot career high 49.2%,career high 5,8 ast and play good defense.
He developed on drives,because become stronger.In playoff he played injured,who saw pels games know it.
I hope trade to a good coach,who use way better than Willie!
Ingram from my hometown. Him and Stackhouse. Real ones. Don't take no 💩 off nobody fr
Maybe the issue
You from Kinston NC?
Facts this video title is diabolical
That mf a real sell Job that boy ain’t got no ❤ whatever that real one shyt is he need to bring it to the court
@@enocbarraza8935 yessir
The new CBA makes guys like Ingram way leas valuable. Players that are stars but not super stars will be getting almost the same money as superstars. Teams just can’t afford to give out more than two max contracts anymore. The quality of those two max contract players is going to be what makes the difference for teams more than anything else.
The Lakers could've had Jaylen brown but the drafted Ingram
They would have traded Brown too, to get AD.
@@shorewall doubt it
@@dellingtonarts3487not doubt it they traded Ingram when he was averaging 18 ppg lol brown in his 3rd year averaged 13 ppg …
@@Monokazie but browns defense, they would've used a different asset for ad and made a big 3
@@dellingtonarts3487 lakers don't play defense.
In MPJ's case, it's a rookie contract. It's different and he rewarded his team by helping win a championship.
BI reminds me of Michael Beasley - insane potential and everyone thought he'd be a superstar in the league and somehow it never worked out. BI was supposed to be KD 2.0 and it never happened.
He is close to being kd 2.0 the dude is still insane in the league and this season the pelicans were kind of like the black horse of the playoffs, unfortunately they didn't make it
@KYtimes2they both enjoy smoking a copious amount of pot.
@@Rayane.. he's a role player, kd a superstar
@KYtimes2Mike was cold.
@@MrE_.Ingram.is not a role player😂
Can’t say it was a brick, didn’t even touch the rim, that doesn’t make sense, but thanks for the content. Nice work.
I love ingram
The new cba is good for the nba. Specially if the teams can use this as leverage against greedy agents. So many players are over paid and under worked. Being paid a ton of money just to throw bricks or warm the bench.😅
His health is the reason why people are looking at him. When B.I is healthy he is a top 25 player in the league. Regardless Ingram would be good with Nuggets.
Top 25 is selling him short
Delusional this guy even healthy ain't top 50
He’s not that guy, 20, 5, 5 guy who doesn’t push the needle for a contending team, he can’t shoot 3’s so he has to humble himself and take a Derozan deal
@@greyyb8860bro said bi can’t shoot 3s when this year was a down year and he still shot 36%, which is above league average.
@@jaydenalvizio5908 he doesn’t take many of them, pelicans want to improve their spacing, he couldn’t perform well on team U.S.A. because he has to create a midrange shot 9/10 times, best team for him for awhile was Portland but they went cheaper and got Advija
The issue could be simple. BI just has to let teams know he's fine with 35-40M/yr and he'll have a host of teams wanting him. He's not a max player. His ppg is in line with a max player, but like I. Thomas (formerly Boston) that number just doesn't mean anything by itself. And if BI would like to change that perspective, he should sign something like a 2yr - 80M deal, play defense like he's never done before, embrace the heck out of whatever city he's in and never act like he's looking to get out, and whenever the 2yr deal is over he'll get a max contract. Simple.
BI the highest dude in the nba
This is good news. Not every player deserves max contract
He plays like superstar,but his efficiency number EFF is 21,4,which puts him on 39 position,behind Paolo Banchero...
EPM ranks him at #60 with +2.1. DPM at 1.98 with rk in mid 40's.
Scoring has been league average past couple years & manages the ball well enough.
Is there any analysis on EFF as being predictive of winning?
@KYtimes2 analytical people. NBA front offices, Ben taylor, probably zach lowe, etc.
@@aaronpeters6209 Ingram has a little bit old school game...Maybe a different coach will make him a passer...He could be a great play-maker,but he plays like a point-guard ! And to be " efficient" point guard he actually needs to guard ! Basically whatever good he makes on offense ,he ruins it on defense ;and if his offense is not clicking he is unplayable ...
@KYtimes2 I consider myself to be quite analytical & enjoy trying to predict the future.
@KYtimes2 Do you not know what an adjective is?
hey man love your stuff
I be hearing reports abt Ingram to the blazers and if that happens I might just die
U be?
Ayton for Ingram
Send Ingram to the Spurs please. He's a great player when healthy. Just need a good veteran like Chris Paul to help the young team gel together
He can be a great role player. If he’s not paid or expected to be a star, I’d want him on my team.
He’s not no role player
26 going into his prime is role player guy just yet. When he wants to be easily is a 25/5/5 guy.
