Pelicans not expected to offer Brandon Ingram a contract extension
The Pelicans are not expected to offer Brandon Ingram a contract extension this offseason. Ingram is eligible to sign a four-year, $208 million deal, but New Orleans will be going in another direction. Trey Murphy III is also eligible for a rookie-scale extension expected to pay him $20-25 million annually. All signs point towards New Orleans prioritizing Murphy over Ingram as their wing of the future. New Orleans will have Ingram’s $36 million salary and valuable draft capital to attempt to pair another star alongside Zion Williamson.Source: Twitter @esidery
