re: New Orleans Pelicans are willing to part ways with Brandon Ingram in hopes of getting Dame

You are acting like the biggest factor in driving his price is the demand. when that is not all that important at all.

This is perhaps one of the stupidest things I have ever heard.

Limited supply + Heavy Demand = Increased price.

Same way it became narrowed down for the Pels when they traded AD. You fundamentally do not understand how trades are executed in the nba

The laws of supply and demand don’t go away because there is an NBA logo behind the transaction.

If Lillard was put on the market this offseason the dynamics vs the AD trade would be drastically different. AD suppressed the market because he had leverage, so demand for AD and the price teams would pay was limited. Same with Kawhi. That would not be the case with Lillard. Thinking the market would behave the same is once again showing your fundamental ignorance of basic market behavior, NBA or otherwise.
