New Orleans Won't Offer Extension

The New Orleans Pelicans are expected to trade.
According to Evan Sydery of Forbes Sports, New Orleans may not sign Brandon Ingram (forward, 203cm, 86kg).
Ingram's contract expires in the upcoming 2024-2025 season under his existing contract (five years, $158 million). Re-signing with New Orleans in the fall of 2020, he has consistently been the team's flagship player.
However, New Orleans made the playoffs, but as much as it felt limited, it is expected to make changes to its composition. New Orleans gained high expectations by including C.J. McCollum. There was a limit because Zion Williamson did not play properly last season, but this time he played full-strength, but he did not stand out much.
In the end, the possibility that New Orleans will not offer Ingram an extension is being discussed. If an extension is granted, a contract that is well over $40 million per year may be offered. However, it is presumed that Ingram does not want to be placed on those terms. In other words, if an extension contract is difficult, it seems likely that he will be used as a trade card.
He played in all 64 games this season. He played 32.9 minutes per game, recording 20.8 points (.492.355.801), 5.1 rebounds, and 5.7 assists. As Williamson was not injured this time, he was expected to see his average score drop. He averaged 24.7 points, the most since his debut last season, but this time he had to be satisfied with just over 20 points.
Most of all, the team was disappointed in its performance in the playoffs. After going through a play-in tournament, New Orleans went on a spring outing for the first time in two years. However, Williamson suffered a serious internal injury. It forced New Orleans to enter the first playoff stage without Williamson. However, he averaged just 14.3 points (.345.250.895) with 4.5 rebounds and 3.3 assists in just 36.3 minutes in four games.
As a result, New Orleans is likely to undergo a partial reorganization without offering an extension contract as it has seen its limitations in the big game. The expiration of Jonas Ballonschnus' contract cannot be overlooked. In other words, it may be better to recruit a center or point guard through Ingram. There is already Trey Murphy III in New Orleans, so the outside power deserves to be competitive.
