Could the Hawks bring in a former NBA champion to serve as a hyper-effective sixth man?
After the Utah Jazz re-signed forward Lauri Markkanen on a 5-year, $238 million dollar deal, the only big question remaining this off-season is the future of Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram.
Based on where the market is right now, it would be best for the Pelicans to move him to a team that has the cap space to take on his $36 million dollar salary and a tradeable center who can address the gaping need at center for New Orleans. With those criteria, the Toronto Raptors stand out as a possible Ingram destination.
Acquiring Ingram could change that. Being stuck in the middle of the NBA is a dangerous gamble and the Raptors have Immanuel Quickley, RJ Barrett and Scottie Barnes locked up on long-term deals. If this is the core they have chosen for the foreseeable future, they need to add more supporting talent around it in order to give it a chance at a run.
