It is no secret by now that the New Orleans Pelicans and Brandon Ingram are ready to part ways. The team is hopeful to trade the small forward by the NBA Trade Deadline. This year’s NBA Trade Deadline is on February 6th, 2025. The Pelicans and Ingram have previously tried to come to terms on a new contract extension, but an agreement was unable to come to fruition.
The team reportedly wanted to sign the wing to an extension worth about $40 million per season. It should also be noted that Brandon Ingram will be an unrestricted free agent this coming offseason if does not agree to a new deal this year. The one-time All-Star recently signed with Klutch Sports to represent him, the same agency that represents LeBron James. If the New Orleans Pelicans want to trade Ingram, they must do it soon considering the NBA Trade Deadline is coming up sooner than many realize.
