You've always wanted to trade Ingram in a heartbeat, good to know you really like Ingram  |
Well it would be a no brainer deal. |
Captain obvious over here.
I'm probably the biggest Giannis fan out there. He's not on the table, I'd rather discuss Brandon Ingram's summer workouts and offseason improvements. Same way I discussed Giannis improvements when he was the same age as Ingram.

Trudell's comments on Ingram's height sometime after 28:00
Ingram hasn't been measured, but Trudell's saying he's at least 6'11 if not 7 feet.
Trudell talks more about Ingram's improvement after SL on his first step explosion, jumpshot, etc. There'll be a full interview vid coming out between the two sometime this week. |
Didn't people say last summer Randle is 6'10"? Trudell should carry around a tape measure and start measuring these guys. |

A 20 y/o who's on the verge of a breakout year is something I'd prefer over an often/easily injured center with large contract needs. Forgive me if I like Giannis but prefer a guy who I suspect is in the process of perfecting his shot. Call me crazy, but that's just me. Im not going with the crowd on that one.

Didn't you say the same things about Zubac last year? |
I like Zubac and believed he could contribute well if he got the ball. "Untouchable...breakout year...I wouldn't trade him for ???? all star?" Search for quotes. I'll wait. |

Ingram should be at 7ft by the time George and Lebron get here...!

dawg they sayin' they grew, ain't nothin before reliable! I'm tired of this! |
The offseason always goes through the same stages/themes. One is reports player X grew and then people compare photos. I swear 99% of the time, even with all the reports, no one grows. |
It's the same thing every summer. X player grew, Y player is sooo much better, the team looks great.....etc. I'm guessing Ingram might grow a bit over his first 2 seasons just because he's so young, but most of the time it's just off season hype. |
lol yup. Supposedly Devin Booker grew.. Ben Simmons (then it was debunked).. I'm sure there are a lot more rumors too. lol. Hopefully he does grow though, his mom said his growth plates are still open..  |

I think one of the primary exceptions was Paul George.
Ingram is also one of these guys who had a late growth spurt while also having one of these stretched string bean physiques.

I'm not sure how much to get excited about Ingram, he is still a prospect and normally players dont come into their own before their 3rd or 4th season but Ingram sure looks promising.
A few things to mention. He came into the league being touted as a grear shooter. First year he wasn't and his shot was streaky and inconsistent. That's where I hope the biggest improvement happens. Along with improved physicality he could realy be the player that merits playing time as a contributor and not just because we are looking to develop him.
I really hope he's a consistant 12-14 ppg player this year even though honestly he could be capable of more and better. Still 12-14 will be a very good season for Ingram. |

^Those are good expectations for Ingram. 12-15 ppg, and a small increase in his shooting % should be the goal. Hopefully he can become a little more efficient every year and move up the ladder in the scoring department.

My point is that we all tend to overrate our guys (I did that with DLO).
In no universe is Magic turning down Giannis (22 years old, 2nd team all NBA/all star, all defense team, Most Improved Player) for an Ingram centric package. That would speak volumes to how valuable Ingram became (after an underwhelming rookie year), though I'm 100% sure the Bucks decline that. Nor would Magic turn down Anthony Davis.
Now, I agree that we should turn down trading Ingram for washed up former stars like Melo or even Boogie. But Giannis/AD, we would absolutely make the move.
Again, I'm not even advocating trading him. I actually want him on the team if we get 2 max players, even if they're PG13/LBJ. Just saying that the "untouchable" label is a misnomer when it comes to trading for young proven superstars like Giannis/AD.

So let me get this straight, if Anthony Davis or Giannis were being offered for Ingram straight up you'd refuse it? |

We'll have silly little debates like this during the dry offseason, its understandable. I surely respect those who view BI as absolutely untouchable, but if we're talking a package that is essentially a BI for Giannis swap come on man you do that before Milwaukee's changes their mind. |

A lot of people expect 15PPG but I'm thinking he might reach the 20 point mark, everything that's being talked about regarding Ingram is what people don't expect this soon, maybe Ingram is just a special player.... im so glad we didn't trade him for Cousins. |

I'd be ecstatic with 15ppg. It's more realistic if he ends up with 12-13ppg. His body is too underdeveloped. But I agree, glad we didn't trade him for Cousins.
