Brandon Ingram has one year left on the five-year max deal he signed with the New Orleans Pelicans in 2020. Ingram has been the subject of trade speculation that began ahead of last season’s trade deadline.

One thing seems certain if Ingram is to remain with New Orleans, it won’t be on a max deal. The Pelicans reportedly have no interest in signing the veteran forward to a max extension that would run for four years and a projected $208.5 million through 2028-29. Without an extension, Ingram would be an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2025.

In five years with New Orleans, Ingram has averaged 23.1 points, 5.5 rebounds and 5.2 assists. He was an All-Star in 2020 and a part of Team USA at the 2023 FIBA World Cup.
