“Younger guys like Josh Hart”. Hart’s two-and-a-half years older than Ingram.

Hearing “the new CBA” at least once in your vids has become tradition

Ingram can't carry a franchise. But he can definitely keep one alive.

Being a Pels fan u can tell when someone talking about the team doesn’t know much about the team

Wow! The BI public perception drop off is crazy. During his time with the Pelicans, he has: - 47% overall shooting - 37% on 3s with 4.8 average attempts - 84% on free-throws - 23 ppg. - 5.2 apg

That photo of BI is wild he looks like tens years older than he actually is

The B.I. Disrespect is crazy

hating on BI is wild he was balling before getting injured at the end of the season, played bad in the playoffs coming off that injury.

This guy is woj and shams' mail pigeon

Naaahhhh saw the guy in London veeery recently. He looked fit and less stoned than he actually looks on tv. Fantastic talent

For reference, BI was 49.2% in FG%, 35.5% in 3pt%, 5.1 rb, 5.7 ast, 20.8 ppg last year.

Ingram is crazy in 2k tho

Not feeling the title of this video. Most teams would love to have BI on their team. There are 2 issues in my opinion. His health, and he is up for a new contract next year. He's gonna want max dollars and it seems no one is going to want to pay him that with his injury history.

As a Thunder fan that series wasn’t his faults he was actually playing off an injury and once again Zion was too hurt to play

The problem with the comparison to Aaron Gordon is that I cannot imagine BI ever being okay with being the 3rd or 4th option.

Trade CJ. He sucks every play off. Dort got away with a lot of fouls too BI. The coaches weren’t calling shit

Imagine Ingram going back to Lakers.

The pelicans have always been low key stacked. I want to see them make a deep playoff run

It’s crazy, it’s just injury history dude can do anything on the basketball court he’s immensely talented

I’m just excited players won’t sign the max and then request trades or force their way out

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="33">0:33</a> the dude just left Herb Jones, a first team defender, in the cold LMAO. Ain't no way CJ starts ahead of Herb. All credibility lost 😂

Still better than Ben Simmons who was the #1 pick.

“When Zion was injured, BI stayed on the bench” proceeds to show ingram on the bench and zion on the floor <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="171">2:51</a>

3 types of players teams want, 1.rookie/young player with superstar potential 2. Superstar that’s capable of carrying a team to win or sell tickets. 3.role players that’s one of the best at what they do, unfortunately BI is neither of the 3

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="401">6:41</a> "Those types of maxes are gone" - Wagner was signed for 220 max contract, the dude with no All-star selections, all-NBA selections getting paid like Luka, and more than Steph Curry. They are not gone

Ya Nuggets gave Mpj a max so quick and im still mad about it cuz mpj doesnt dribble very much just catch a shoot most the time. Not a max player.

BI is still prime! He needs to stay healthy and progress his game.

I'll wait for the actual season to see what happens. All these professional hot takers on KZfaq were very wrong about Zion not resigning and how they somehow KNOW the Pelicans don't want Ingram 1 year after signing a huge 5 years deal.

Always entertained by your content, it's awesome!

As a lifelong hoops fan, I really appreciate the way you broke down this information. The backend "pause" part of this game is very complex and you deliver the info to where it brings that complex part to laymen terms.

I wonder how the Brunson pay cut is going to change the FA market. It’s unprecedented and should be talked about more

Idk I feel like Ingram can be a number 2 or 3 option on a championship team I still believe he would get a max when he is a free agent just watch and see

Dude gotta smoke after games..not before...😂

If only there was a way BI could get on the Kings, that would be insanely fun basketball to watch

Man I actually agree for once haha. I always felt like Ingram and Lavine were on similar trajectories. Didn't consider alternative outcomes. The Aaron Gordon comparison is a good one for both those guys. Still a ton of upside and potential. Love to see Ingram ball out, but I'm gonna need Allen to stay in Cleveland lol. ✌️

NBA needs to take a page from the NFL where the "guarantee" money is less than the contract if a player is cut/waived or whatever it is called. B.I. is better on a team where he is the 2nd or 3rd option.

This is a really harsh title man

Interesting analysis/prediction about the end of max contracts for overhyped players. Great content as always Casey 🙌

The NBA market is ever changing. BI is at a crucial part of his career. I would try to get out of New Orleans as soon as possible.

Still usa did not win the world cup with the best router, so Maybe this time Kerr did not understand everything

As a pelican fan my problem with Ingram is that he would always miss clutch shots. Everytime i watched him take a game winner or a clutch shot he missed.

This is why I say "supermax era is bad for the league".. it should end

Pels Fan here. And having Herb Jones on the bench over Trey Murphy aint the move.. you missed again my guy...

Brandon is one of my favourite players…

B.I still B.I man look i dont care what happen he is the most prolific and consistant scorer of the New Orleans squad It aint fair specially when Z been out time and time again and mostly when it matters most just like Kwahi It aint fair for B.I even he had a bad ending past season

Thank you for all the info!!!

Watching the fall of Brandon Ingram has been painful. It seems like its better to not make the playoffs or play FIBA than to get utterly destroyed and embarrassed on the big stage. I always like him. He carried the Pels when Zion was injured. Seemed like the ideal teammate, but it's hard to see guy comming back from this. Only winning a few playoff series as the main guy is going to erase this.

BI is a $30-$35 million a year player

oh so the lost during Thunder match up is his fault? dont forget he sped up his recovery to just play in that series !!! people too undervalue him just bcs he had a bad year.. wheres everyone when he had good one? 🤷🏾

Minnesota makes the trade of KAT for KD. Minnesota gets Ingram in Free agency. Ingram plays the 3, KD at the 4. Ant at 2 is crazy work

Thank you for explaining more into the new CBA. Now I understand what its pointing to which is what I've been telling people since 2021. Teams are going to have to be smart about who they sign and not giving max contract like i's candy. 24 pts per game is not worth a max anymore. That's the average of an efficient second option. Tmax contracts are going to be worth more which will show who deserves it and who doesn't

Delusional Laker fans saying the AD trade was horrible are nowhere to be found right now.

When you pay max for a star with no leadership skills, don't expect those skills just to show up one day, Pelicans. Even Kevin Durant never developed those. BI plays without passion, but the Pels have Zion, right? Right. He proved once again, although later in the season, that he cannot deal with injuries. His weight is not getting any better. Now they have a point guard who is on his third team. Still have no super stars, no leader on the floor, and they play out West. Ouch. We were all so eager to see Zion grow, but this has gone on for long enough. He has never been in shape after signing that first rookie contract. Good for him. He's won in life, but what a disappointment to miss out on what could have been.

He’s a taller Derozan, a prolific scorer but from the wrong places, making him inefficient. Any team building around a volume mid range scorer isn’t going anywhere.

B.I HAS ALWAYS BEEN AND WILL ALWAYS BE UNDERRATED AND ONLY THE PEOPLE WHO WATCH HIM KNOWS HOW TUFF HE ACTUALLY IS AND HOW GOOD HE IS AS A PLAYER, I'VE BEEN WATCHING THE GUY SINCE HIS DUKE DAYS AND I CAN'T ACCEPT ALL THIS DISRESPECT FOR HIM.

😂 “max” contract doesn’t even mean much anymore, years of service, accolades, games played… all that stuff effects players money. Luka’s Max is probably 20 mil more than BI’s Max… Really tho, if 25 a year ain’t enough for BI… duces!

His health is the reason why people are looking at him. When B.I is healthy he is a top 25 player in the league. Regardless Ingram would be good with Nuggets.

Is it just me or does Casey need to improve research skills by a million

That man look like Santa if he was skinny 😂

BI is a great player.

The Lakers could've had Jaylen brown but the drafted Ingram

BI would be so good somewhere where he can play the 2, same with Wiggins.

Damn that BI Gordon connection makes a lot of sense.. great take

Why comments always be hating on Casey? It’s y’all new subscribers, take your hate somewhere else cause Casey makes high quality informative entertaining consistent content.(lowkey sound like a burner but y’all annoying)

ingram is that guy.. guarantee he will come back, even better!!

All I know as a Pelicans fan, either Brandon Ingram or CJ McCollum or both has to leave the team. I'm sorry but you just have to make room for Trey Murphy to be in the starting lineup and setup his future contract. If do decide to keep B.I., then CJ has to go and vice versa Or...... Keep everyone on the team, let Ingram walk at the end of the season, and make the NBA pay for not willing to accept a trade from the Pelicans, and allow the Pelicans to have a starting lineup like this: G- Dejounte Murray G- Brandon Ingram SF-Herb Jones PF- Zion Williamson C- Y.Messi (Rookie) Bench 6th Man #1- C.J. McCollum (G) 6th Man #2- Trey Murphy (F/G) Role player#1-Jose Alvarado (PG) Role player #2- Jordan Hawkins (G/F) Prospect- Antonio Reeves (Rookie) (F/G) 11- Daniel Thesis C/F) 12- Jeremiah Robertson-Earl (F-C) Reserves 13-Matt Ryan (F/G) 14- Opened slot 15- Opened slot Note: I'm not counting two-way players.

Its also cuz of the upcoming draft, worse teams don't want a player that can help them get wins and then miss out on a top pick in a stacked draft

Hard to believe at this point but last year at this time Pels and Thunder were eye to eye.

I think BI is just in a crappy situation in New Orleans. That organization has hitched its wagon to Zion, and I don’t think it will work out. Ingram should take what he can get and move on.

This seems more like the Pelicans needed a true point guard and they are using Brandon Ingram as a scapegoat

The new cba is good for the nba. Specially if the teams can use this as leverage against greedy agents. So many players are over paid and under worked. Being paid a ton of money just to throw bricks or warm the bench.😅

AM Hoopz best youtube sports show period

BI reminds me of Michael Beasley - insane potential and everyone thought he'd be a superstar in the league and somehow it never worked out. BI was supposed to be KD 2.0 and it never happened.

Bro that photo you chose on the right is DIABOLICAL 💀

BI is underrated. He can contribute to any team when healthy.

Kobe > LeHairline

As a NC native myself just like Ingram, I feel bad for him. I believe he still has it in him; he’ll possibly have a well needed comeback with his game.

Lmao the thumbnail 😂

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="195">3:15</a> shia funny asf love how he doesnt celebrate till the game ends

Whats up Casey 👋

Love the vids Casey

Trust me a lot of fans wish they had Ingram on their team

The issue could be simple. BI just has to let teams know he's fine with 35-40M/yr and he'll have a host of teams wanting him. He's not a max player. His ppg is in line with a max player, but like I. Thomas (formerly Boston) that number just doesn't mean anything by itself. And if BI would like to change that perspective, he should sign something like a 2yr - 80M deal, play defense like he's never done before, embrace the heck out of whatever city he's in and never act like he's looking to get out, and whenever the 2yr deal is over he'll get a max contract. Simple.

If I’m bucks I’ll trade Middleton for BI 4sho

He plays like superstar,but his efficiency number EFF is 21,4,which puts him on 39 position,behind Paolo Banchero...

Thanks. I was wondering why he wasn't talked about much at all. I felt like he was best available. 2nd and even 3rd option money would be great for a player I think desire to be considered a 1. It's expect him to bet on himself and expect to win IF their dysfunctional team stays healthy.

The thumbnail picture is the killer!

He is holding himself back. He is a pothead.of course they won’t say it but go watch his interviews and he is always high. He is naturally good but he could be great if he could focus.

I honestly think they should lower the max. It'd spread the money around on teams and make moves a lot easier.

SGA and Ingram are literally the same age. And you call shai the new young super star

Ingram from my hometown. Him and Stackhouse. Real ones. Don't take no 💩 off nobody fr Maybe the issue

I be hearing reports abt Ingram to the blazers and if that happens I might just die

Ingram hasn’t played more than 64 games since his rookie season. Way too injury prone to be relied upon, especially at $35M a year.

lonzo , ingram , j-hart and zion era was amazing

BI the highest dude in the nba

Teams are finally smartening up and avoiding these lazy ass all stars that are more worried about looking cool on the court, than winning. He’s so much better than what he’s given us. *us = basketball fans

If he is the fourth best player you have a great team. If he is the third best player you have a good team. If he is the best or second best you better have a very versatile group of players and a deep bench.

Players don’t talk about this much when the franchise bet on you and you let them down lol its a two way street

I love ingram

He can be a great role player. If he’s not paid or expected to be a star, I’d want him on my team.
