Hawks were not interested in trading Clint Capela or Onyeka Okongwu for Brandon Ingram
As it turned out, Atlanta didn’t have much interest in giving Brandon Ingram his next contract or moving either of its top two centers (Clint Capela and Onyeka Okongwu), according to league sources.

If teams are unwilling to value Brandon Ingram, what’s the urgency to trade him or award him an extension?
Just let Ingram play out his contract for the season (or trade at the deadline given circumstances) and move forward.
I don’t understand the thirst for a transaction. – 1:01 PM

It’s been more than a week since the start of free agency and the Pelicans still haven’t figured out what the future holds for Brandon Ingram.
Now that Paul George is in Philly and DeRozan in Sacramento, is New Orleans running low on trade options?

So with the Kings trading for DeMar DeRozan, is there another obvious Brandon Ingram destination?
Seems like the Cavs are keeping their four guys. Hawks could’ve had Ingram in the Murray deal and chose not to pursue him.
Who else is out there for him that would extend him? – 8:28 PM

I don’t like DeMar DeRozan’s fit with the Kings in a basketball sense.
I do like placating impatient owners with deals that carry minimal asset cost when the alternative is a more expensive trade (Brandon Ingram?) that I also don’t think really makes sense. So go for it, Kings. – 10:02 PM

With the first wave of free agency coming to a close, the trade market will now take center stage for the remainder of the offseason.
Lauri Markkanen, Brandon Ingram, Zach LaVine and Kyle Kuzma are the headliners, but a lot of movement could be in store over the next few weeks. pic.twitter.com/kZR26BAvVn – 5:50 PM

Idk what the Pelicans are planning to do in their inevitable Brandon Ingram trade, but if I were them and the price on Brook Lopez is really only a first, I’m 100% looping the Bucks in, offering that pick and trying to construct a deal where he’s part of my incoming salary. – 1:36 PM

More on this storyline
Of course, I say all this as if the Hawks are done dealing. Are they? Clint Capela and De’Andre Hunter rumors have subsisted for ages, but the general consensus from league sources is that the Hawks can’t get any meaningful return for them. -via New York Times / June 29, 2024
The Hawks are certainly expected to now gauge trade possibilities for Murray, All-Star guard Trae Young, Clint Capela and the rest of their rostered players who aren’t named Jalen Johnson and Zaccharie Risacher, sources said. Young does have the Pelicans in mind of preferred possible next teams, league sources told Yahoo Sports, in addition to the Spurs and Lakers, but Young’s fit has never made much sense for a New Orleans situation that currently features C.J. McCollum in its backcourt. -via Yahoo! Sports / June 28, 2024
And if the Lakers are looking for a center to allow AD to play power forward more frequently, then perhaps there’s a deal to be done for both Dejounte Murray and Clint Capela, who is being shopped around by the Hawks, according to league sources. -via The Ringer / June 24, 2024
If Allen and Carter are both off the table, there may not be a viable starter available for the Pels to go after in a trade involving Ingram or anyone else. It could take weeks — maybe even months — to find a resolution. Without an Ingram trade, the Pelicans would have to find some middle ground with their forward on an extension. There’s some optimism within the building that the two sides could come to terms on a deal that makes each happy. Both the Pelicans and Ingram agree that going into training camp without an extension is a distraction they’d prefer to avoid. That scenario certainly wouldn’t make sense for the Pelicans; finding value for him now is difficult enough, but trying to move him on an expiring contract at the trade deadline would be a nightmare. -via New York Times / July 8, 2024
Amid the volatility surrounding free agency every year, decisions often come down to a simple numbers game. In Brandon Ingram’s case, the numbers haven’t been working in his favor lately, leaving him with quite an uncertain future. It started when the New Orleans Pelicans made it clear to him and his representation that they weren’t interested in signing the 26-year-old to the four-year, $208 million max extension Ingram was seeking this offseason, according to league sources. -via New York Times / July 8, 2024
The Pelicans have dangled forward Brandon Ingram in trade talks, and the former No. 2 overall pick has drawn some interest, including from the Sacramento Kings. However, there was a growing sense heading into the weekend that Sacramento would pivot and try to acquire DeMar DeRozan via a sign-and-trade agreement with the Chicago Bulls, league sources told HoopsHype, and as ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported. -via HoopsHype / July 6, 2024
