The trade market for Ingram at the deadline is going to be very underwhelming. The Pelicans main priority will be to duck under the $170M luxury tax threshold - and dumping Ingram for a couple picks and expiring contracts will save them millions down the road.

That's far from an underwhelming return for Ingram. I like this trade for all teams.

Ingram is a ball-stopper and not a very good defender. It doesn't make sense to give two firsts to a guy who is not a good fit.

Do not love it neither for what MEM is giving up nor for what DET gets.
