Trade & FA 2024-25:

I don't see what you don't see. Can you be more specific?

The three teams I mentioned are the ones with centers for sale (that we know of). That's what New Orleans needs. To be clear, I don't really think anyone wants Ingram, but can see Portland wanting him more than Ayton (maybe) and ATL being desperate for literally anything at this point. 

I don't think Ingram is worth Jarret Allen straight up, personally, which is why I listed them as a long shot.

I was agreeing with you that the Ingram market is shallow. 

A better way for me to have written my previous post would've been "Frankly, I don't see it either."

New Orleans definitely needs a center. ATL has already passed up their chance at Ingram according to Stein with the Murray trade (where NOP wanted to expand the deal and make it Murray+Capela for Ingram+Stuff). CLE I just went through why they are most likely going to steer clear. 

POR wanting Ingram I'm even more bearish on given that they'd be paying nearly 80 mil with a Grant+Ingram SF/PF combo. And for a team that will most certainly be motivated to tank for Flagg next year, I don't see why they'd want to get better (and pay even more money!). 

If NOP is going to get a center, I don't think Ingram will be the main piece. And if he is, it might be to a team that would rather let him walk than realistically pay him any sort of extension money that he's looking for.

If Ingram sobers up, I'd put CLE in the driver seat personally.
