Nah. He’s a bigger DeRozan, midrange monster but overall inefficient,IMO. Whoever is left holding that contract loses out, because he won’t give any kind of discount to his Bird rights holder. It’ll be like Klay or PG last summer.
How many ways can I say no.

I also don't think Brandon Ingram is an even remotely compe ive player. This isn't a guy that worries about winning or losing games.
If there were any indication that he would re-sign here at a fair deal, i'd be inclined to pull the trigger. The theoretical fit between him and Wemby would be interesting. Otherwise, as a rental, i think there is better value elsewhere for what we'd be sending out.
That would be a really nice price, even if you just view it as a salary dump of Keldon and Zollins and a rental of BI for a playoff run. Simply getting Keldon and Zollins off the team would be a major improvement.
However, don't love BI and definitely not looking to resign him. As CGD points out, there may be better rental options out there.
And... as many have pointed out, don't know that the Spurs are ready to do the hard (correct) thing in letting locker room favorite Keldon go.
KJ + Zollins for Ingram wouldn't be so bad if the Spurs only had to add in a couple of SRPs. Ingram is an upgrade over KJ and Zollins is a negative impact player. The Spurs don't need to keep Ingram around past this season for that deal to be a win because it also clears a lot of 2025 cap space. But I wouldn't add any firsts into the deal.
While I like Sochan, I can’t see him on the floor with Castle together. Ingram is a better fit at PF/SF. I wouldn’t mind it at all. As a franchise player, Ingram is not but a 3rd/4th option?
CP3, Champ, Castle, Ingram, Wemby
Tre, Vassell, Sochan, Barnes, Bassey
That contends
I'd give the Charlotte 'first'
Zollins, Branham, and a 2026 2nd (since we have like five of them) for Vucevich. The bulls get away from Vuce, we get away from Zollins & Branham plus we open up a roster spot. Its a win win. The salaries match and the bulls just might be desperate enough to do this deal as the deadline approaches. If its not enough add another second rounder. The talent matching isn't the best but desperate times call for desperate measures.
How many ways can I say yes and unlike many here I love kj minus his height
no way the PATFO show interest in that loser
Pistons have decided to keep as much cap space as possible instead of doing a small trade for a $3M to $5M player that would have likely gave them a second round pick. We will see if they end up doing something significant with all that cap space.
Meanwhile, former Austin Spurs McCoy is getting some money because of new CBA rules on the salary floor.
Ingram is going to be in for a rude awakening come free agency. He reportedly turned down a multi year extension that would have averaged close to 50m/yr. I bet he doesn’t see near that in free agency.
I’d actually give Keldon, Zollins and CHA first or maybe Chi pick for an audition to see how a capable scorer would mesh with Wemby and improve the team than go from there come contract negotiations. He could be a useful asset in a sign and trade come summer.
Yeah that proposed deal for Ingram is so cheap you cant say no.
Keldon (neutral asset)
Zollins (negative asset)
Bulls pick has 50/50 chance at conveying because I suspect the Bulls will blow it up this summer by letting Ball walk and finally being able to move LaVine. Even if Ingram isn't a fit you at least get out of the Zollins deal a year early.
Jimmy Butler reportedly turning down his 52m player option. He must know his body isnmt going to last and is trying to get one last long term deal. I could see someone offering him a 3yr 120m type deal this offseason.
Yeah. I’d be shocked if he gets anything more than $35/yr. But then again never underestimate the number of stupid GMs in the league.
I'd do this trade so fast Ingram would be on a flight to SA before I hung up.
There isn't going to be a lot of demand for him as a player in the offseason ( teams with cap are either to good or to bad to give it to Ingram) so I would be fine with his extension.
Perfect fit for a future starting lineup of Castle , Devin, Wemby, and Sochan.
That's kind of where I'm at. I'd give KJ, Zollins and the Cha pick for the chance to see how he fits and cap relief if he doesn't.
Yeah, I'm not giving up that Chicago pick for a reclamation project on expiring contract, we'd effectively be giving up a first to get rid of Collins and Keldon.
I'd do like 4 SRPs. Branham/Wesley/Sidy if they're interested.
It’d be great to get Derrick back just to have the nickname White Castle
Would certainly be better than having Rudy Gay and Kevin Love.
FO: "Trade for Ingram...uhh, we already have Harrison. We're good!"
But seriously, trading for BI would more be about getting out of our contracts, and the FO isn't there yet. Also, BI doesn't fit with their vibe.
What could Vassell and KJ get us in return?
Adding in Collins/Branham Picks as needed?
Trey MurphyIII/Herb Jones?
D'Aaron Fox/Huerter?
Cam Johnson/DFS?
I doubt Pat Riley would do this. But other GMs maybe "interested" to prolong misery for their teams
