Brandon Ingram?

I'd certainly bet against them becoming allstar players. In another thread where we ranked Blazers rookies/youth historically I had Dame/Roy at a 10 - LMA at a 9 and Scoot/Sharpe at 5/6.

Now Scoot/Sharpe are by far the two most valuable players on our roster, but thats because our roster sucks ass - not them being likely all-star level players. Yes I'd love for them to become allstars but I would bet against it and I certainly wouldn't bet future Blazer picks to acquire vets to win now with that allstar expectation gamble.

Maybe you should change your handle to “Sharpe’sKindaSortaGoodish”

Ingram plays with zero passion/heart and often very little effort. A big fat HELL NO from me.

Does he play with no passion or does he just not show any emotion when he plays? There is a huge difference and I am not sure what the correct answer is. I never like questioning a player's heart because it is really hard to tell what is inside.

I do agree with those who said he always looks stoned. That does not mean he is though.

kings fans are throwing around trade packages too; oddly enough I feel like grant would be a better fit in sacramento than BI—and might cost a tick less.

Ingram is always hurt. Had him on my fantasy team. Boo!

New Orleans is going to expect a decent return for Ingram,

So probably Ant, #7, maybe the 2029 Boston pick, Thybulle for salary matching, probably something else as well (a 3rd pick?).

Then Ingram probably has a Josh Hart moment after 3 weeks of the season and starts to push for his exit.

Sure we could win more games next season with Ingram or a vet, but why would we try to do that instead of using the picks to possibly find a long term starter?

don't forget to find a Billups buddy Cronin can buy out. Plenty of dead cap space alongside Eric Bledsoe.

As a Harrison F. Barnes replacement?

Every time I watch a Pelicans game I'll focus on him for several minutes several times a game and watch him only. And like I said, he gives very little effort/hustle a lot. For example not even attempting to get a rebound that he very well could of gotten.
