Brandon Ingram Rumors

According to multiple sources, Ujiri was the “driving …

According to multiple sources, Ujiri was the “driving force” behind the Brandon Ingram deal at last February’s trade deadline, while others in the room were less convinced about the fit and the timing. To just assume that Webster would pick up where Ujiri left off might be misguided. They could use a fresh perspective after missing the playoffs in four of the past five seasons, but they don’t necessarily need to look outside of the organization for that. The grass isn’t always greener.

Josh Lewenberg: Brandon Ingram: “We’re trying to build championship habits. What I saw is that they play hard. They play really, really hard… They already found their identity on the defensive end and I can’t come in and mess that up. I gotta be playing as hard as them.”

The last update we got on Brandon (Ingram), I think he got a couple of injections at the end of the season. The plan was for him to be back in May. Was that the timeline, and how is he doing now?" Darko Rajakovic: "Brandon is doing really well. He's put in a lot of work since the end of the season. His daily commitment and work ethic are outstanding. He's pain-free and moving well. He’s gotten stronger and is in a really great spot. As of today, he's cleared for full contact — one-on-one, three-on-three, five-on-five — all the things we do in the summer. He’s cleared for all of it."

Eric Koreen: Bobby Marks' report about the cap growing …

Eric Koreen: Bobby Marks' report about the cap growing by 7% in 2026-27 will have a big impact around the league, given many thought it would be 10% again. All contracts — including Scottie Barnes' and Brandon Ingram's — with maximum 8% raises will be growing faster than the cap, creating a tighter squeeze. Raps have five players guaranteed for 26-27 not including some likely club options being picked up: Dick, Walter + more: Barnes, Ingram, IQ, Barrett, CMB (assuming 120% of rookie scale). They will get paid 150.6 M. Tax at 7% is about 201M. At 10% it would have been 206.7M. Real difference.

That was Holmgren’s first professional season, but he didn’t play a game because of a foot injury. He’d been cleared for full contact in April. In anticipation of the Play-In game against the Pelicans, he was used as the scout team version of Brandon Ingram and lit up the starters a bit in practice. “The stuff he was doing against us, we was like, ‘Damn!’” Lu Dort once told The Athletic. “He was hitting some tough shots. I’m like, ‘Man!’ Yeah. That’s gonna help. We kind of saw the vision.”

There is a strong sense in some corners of the league that this Toronto front office is under some tangible pressure to take a significant step toward competitiveness in the far-less-imposing Eastern Conference … even after they just made a midseason splash to acquire Brandon Ingram from New Orleans. (There is also much curiosity, for that matter, about the recent interest Atlanta expressed in Ujiri for its ongoing president of basketball operations vacancy.)

The Toronto Raptors have emerged in league circles as …

The Toronto Raptors have emerged in league circles as a team with ambitions to make a major move this offseason. This maneuvering comes on the heels of their trade for Brandon Ingram at the deadline along with the Boston Celtics expected to take a step back next season due to the Jayson Tatum injury and luxury tax concerns, along with the potential availability of Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Is that worth going out multiple years on a max …

Is that worth going out multiple years on a max extension? Or is it time to cut bait, recoup some value and build around the other young guys in Atlanta, even if the Hawks don’t control their picks? Chatter has picked up that the Hawks might choose the latter course. However, it takes two to tango in any trade. The confounding issue in any Young scenario is that the market for him doesn’t seem to be all that hot. Indeed, that perhaps explains why it was Murray and not Young who was sent to the Pelicans in the 2024 offseason. If the Hawks were hoping for a Mikal Bridges or Rudy Gobert-level return for Young, it’s probably not happening. It might be more in Brandon Ingram territory. Are they at a point where they’re OK with that?

Omer Osman: Masai Ujiri on if there are any “risks to expediting” the rebuilding process: “[Brandon Ingram] Young player still, young player in the league, very talented. We hope he fits.” “It doesn’t stop our rebuild. It didn’t mess with it. We continue on that path.”
