Here is a list of players that could be traded pretty much straight up for Ingram this offseason. I am not making any assumptions about availability or fit, simply guys that work in the ESPN trade machine.

Trae Young - ATL
Zach Lavine - CHI
Donavan Mitchell - CLE
Pascal Siakam - IND
Bam Adebayo - MIA
Khris Middleton - MIL
Jordan Poole - WA
Kyrie Irving - DAL
Michael Porter - DEN
Andrew Wiggins - GS
Fred VanVleet - HOU
Jarrett Jackson - MEM
Karl Anthony Towns - MIN
Devin Booker - PHX
Deyondre Ayton - POR
De'Aaron Fox - SAC

Personally, I would like to see him traded for De'Aaron Fox or Trae Young, since I think this team would work best with a true point guard.

A list of a lot of guys none of us should want with a few that would be great, but are not able to be had (Bam, Booker)

The only interesting one is KAT, but if Willie can't stand Val's D, I can only imagine how often he'd bench KAT.

Obviously most of the guys you’d actually want on that list are unattainable- especially straight up .

I said going back a few years ago when he was potentially available , Fox would do wonders for this team.

Trae Young
Donovan Mitchell
Bam
De’Aaron Fox

I’d take any of those guys

Yeah, I don't think most of these guys are attainable, but you never know who blows it up after a disappointing playoff exit. Knowing Griff, we will trade BI for a European PF and 6 pick swaps in the 2030s.

BI and Nance out

Mobley and Trae Young in

Don’t care what the order of operations is, but it needs to get done.

If not Mobley then send BI and Nance to Atlanta with picks for Young and Okongwu

Why do y'all want Trae Young? It makes no sense.

BI Nance and whatever picks it takes for Dejounte Murray and Okongwu.

Murray, Herb, Trey, Zion, Okongwu starts. Move CJ to 6th man and have CJ, Hawk, Dyson, and Jose off the bench

I’m a big fan of Darius Garland. He had a little bit of a down season, but his speed and athleticism really breaks down a defense. I’m hoping Cleveland flames out, and maybe they feel adding BI could help entice Mitchell to stay. All extremely unlikely.

Why would we want a legitimate point guard that is not afraid to take 10 3’s a night and can give you double digit assists and is basically the perfect fit around Zion?

Gee, not sure

Not a snowballs chance in hell Cleveland is trading him. If D Mitch turns down the extension this offseason Cleveland is shipping him out, they are not going to take any chances on Mitchell leaving for nothing.

He's not a "legitimate point guard", though.

How is Trae Young hogging the ball and being a ball stopper the perfect fit for Zion?

He is also legit terrible on D.

Trae Young is an amplified version of CJ

I think a BI for KAT trade brings some balance to both rosters. Ingram sucks at D and JV provides no rim protection, so would replacing both of them with KAT really hurt our overall D?

Rumors are Atlanta is leaning more towards moving Young over Murray.

Moving Young also gives them the opportunity to open up a max contract slot in an offseason when someone like Mitchell will be a potential free agent

Trae Young was 43% from the field, and a bigger defensive liability than anything we have on our current roster. You just can’t win with that. Not anything of substance.

I would trade BI's last year for Mitchell's last year. He has a Players option for 37 mil in 2025, which he will turn down. Give him half a season of run with Zion and move him at the deadline if he doesn't work out. He would also be more valuable a sign and trade guy than Ingram.

I'm a little on the fence, but I have long said the Pelicans need a microwave, a guy that can just instantly cook a defense from 3 preferably.

I think having a guy like Young would in theory free up Zion to be more Zion, especially if they can also add a rim runner or stretch 5
