I actually commented on Brandon Ingram to Charlotte a few months ago, well before the draft lottery, when we were unsure where Charlotte would fall. New Orleans doesn't want to pay him, the man's from Kinston, NC and we have the draft capital to make it happen. But based on the moves we've already made, I don't know Ingram is the guy we want unless you're turning around and trading Miles + future picks (I would have included this year's pick if we were making this move) and he's going to cost substantially more when its not exactly clear if we're a playoff caliber team yet. But I definitely wouldn't be mad with Ingram on the team, just concerned a bit since the path forward has started to look like taking on bad contracts for picks... Or wait... is that what we would be doing here? I mean, Ingram's an All Star, and there's only so many to go around, but he's going to be making stupid money on his next contract so... would we trade less picks + some actual players we may not see as the future (Micic + Miles? and say 1 future pick + a pick swap to take on Ingram's salary? That sort of makes sense right? But end of the day, he'd cost more than Miles, they are the same age and I'd say Brandon's only slightly better -- he's a little more efficient and better with the ball in his hands, generating a few more assists, but Miles is a better rebounder -- so why would we make this move and risk the draft capital and cap implications? Miles to the Clippers for Powell + Mann and picks makes more sense to me, especially if you think Salaun is good enough to play now. Is there a world in which you can keep Miles and get Brandon? THAT would be interesting. But I don't see it at all.
2025 draft is a goldmine. Salaun being picked over trading down to select more nba ready players like Knecht/carter etc, think it shows we want to build with youth for the long run. Ingram automatically adds another 5-10 wins and hurts our chances of being in the Flagg sweepstake, so as nice as it would be to have him, I don’t think it fits our timeline. Have a feeling all of our off season moves are already done at this point, Lee will just wanna get to work and advance our young core… but who knows! Excited for the season ahead. Keep up the videos brother 🙏
Thats patching a water leak with Scotch tape. It won't hold up. Ingram is too laid back. Charlotte need to trade for a guy who is hungry to have a bigger role. If Sengun is truly available, Naz Reid, Laura Markkanen, etc. and I would start Brandon Miller at the 2. Charlotte is two good pieces from the playoffs with a healthy Ball
PG: Lamelo Ball, Tre Mann, KJ Simpson
SG: Brandon Miller, Josh Green
SF: Brandon Ingram
PF: Grant Williams, Tidjane Salaun
C: Mark Williams

bro I just subscribed today yo energy and vibes in your video is amazing bro keep going! Huge LaMelo fan !🛸
Ur 1 of 1🛸🕺🏼 thank u for the sub!
Pels need a center, if the trade happens Richards likely included.
Miles Bridges + Nick Richards
for
Brandon Ingram and a future 1st
My heat have done nothing we lost Martin. I’d say u guys go for kauri
gonna be a tall lineup if yall get Ingram. I think he can play the 4, tho. Miles is shorter and was there
He’s only like 200 lbs so idk but he would have a advantage against bigs offensively we will see
Miller is good but people forget about how good lamelo is. If he can stay healthy Lamelo is the leader and best player on the team.
As a hornets fan he is not the leader he runs over kids 🙏🙏🙏

I don't see the Hornets going after Ingram but it could happen. Good video
No picks involved, Bridges and Bertans, and no max extension. And I think it's do able.
We gone have to send miles and leaky
Miles, Bertans or Cody MIA 2027 CHA 2029 and a pick swap something like that would be a solid offer
More like Miles and Mark Williams.
@@everythingbuzzcityEBC Bertans has already been waived.
Dude ain’t nobody trading for that poo poo platter.
BI is the new Paul George. An elite shooter that is too cool to due the dirty work (ie rebound, pass, hustle, play defense.)
Compete for what? 🤓
Brandon Ingram has less points, rbs, and games played than Miles. Ingram would be a down grade.
2030 1st more likely
Yeah ur probably right
I don’t want miles he too much confusion
Miles will gone at some point don't see him as a long term option.
Melo
Miller
Ingram
G. Williams
M. Williams
