Brandon Ingram

Now it has reached the part of this list that features the most explosive offensive options to replace Herro. Brandon Ingram has not been able to come to a contract extension with the New Orleans Pelicans. Some expected Ingram to force a trade by now, but it seems like he may rely on his individual game to prove to teams he is worth the money. 

Besides injury issues, Ingram is a mega-talented offensive piece to any team. His size and length make him a problem to deal with when he is on, and he averaged 20.8 points, 5.7 assists and 5.1 rebounds on 48/39/88 shooting splits last season. There is nothing that Ingram cannot do offensively as a pure three-level scorer in the NBA.

He is at a really attractive age of 26, which perfectly matches Adebayo’s age and timeline. Miami getting their hands on Ingram could give them a versatile talent for years. If he cannot finally come to that contract extension agreement in New Orleans, expect his name to appear heavily in rumors before next season’s deadline.
