Update on this, I was informed by someone in the league that the NBA prorate of vet min. deals only applies to 1 year deals. So the Pelicans will be paying the entire $7.9M
His comment was, "I don't think they understood the rule" referring to Joe Dumars.
Brandon Ingram is a 28-year-old 6’9” SF who was just an all-star last season with averages of:
21.5 PTS (48/38/82)
5.6 REB
3.7 AST
0.8 STL
0.7 BLK
He played a career-high 77 games last season

My favourite player retired...
It's not easy to represent a 16 year career in just 4:38 seconds, but dammit I tried
Thank You @GTemp17 for making basketball worth watching and congratulations 🫡
The Raptors don't return to the playoffs without Brandon Ingram. And that playoff run was instrumental to showing their front office and the rest of the league (and Kawhi) that they were building something.
It's rare for players to want to come to Toronto. Ingram did.
If I had a nickel for every time the Toronto Raptors traded an aging wing that shoots way too many long 2s and is historically bad in the playoffs for Kawhi Leonard I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
The Timberwolves and Raptors have emerged as two of the teams with trade interest in Charlotte’s LaMelo Ball, league sources tell @JakeLFischer and me.
More to come …
