According to Jake Fischer of The People’s Insider, the New Orleans Pelicans are actively aiming to offer Brandon Ingram a contract worth approximately $40 million per season.
Ingram, however, is seeking a max contract, which could lead to negotiations over the terms.
The forward, who recently signed with Klutch Sports, is expected to decide by the trade deadline, with the possibility of either extending his stay with the Pelicans or being traded.
As trade rumors swirl, Ingram has been linked to several other teams, including the Utah Jazz and Sacramento Kings, as potential destinations.
Additionally, reports indicate that the Cleveland Cavaliers turned down a trade proposal that would have involved Ingram and Jarrett Allen.
The Pelicans are working to determine the best path forward with Ingram, balancing his potential long-term fit with the team and his contract demands.
