Yall underating the Knicks package.
The Lakers players are further developed and Ingram is better than anyone the Knicks can offer. Thats not debateable.
But if im the Pelicans and AD leaves, I'm not really trying to get Ingram knowing hes injury prone and gonna start asking for the max soon as he gets his foot in the door.
I'll be more interested in the Knicks offer.
I'll get Mitchell Robinson, who had a good rookie season, Knox, who was a deer in the headlights all season but still showed flashes. And the Knicks will have to throw in Frank, who I'll take as a project with 0 expectations, and DSJ who ill take to trade for anything else during the trade deadline.
Then comes the actual good part. The #3 pick in a draft where the top 3 players in the draft are projected to be perennial allstars and there is a huge fall off right after. Then there the two Dallas picks the Knicks have which are their unprotected 2021 pick and a protected top 10 in 2023.
Not even saying it cause im a Knicks fan, but as a GM, unless I really believe in Ingram, ill go with the Knicks package.
Im not saying I dont believe in Ingram either, I been high on him since he got drafted and that hasnt changed, im just not sure if hes going to be worth the contract he is gonna demand and I dont like having only 1 year to decide.
