Recently, Pelicans team reporter Clark broke the news that the team has clearly rejected the four-year 208 million contract request from Ingram's team. They believe that Ingram is not worth the value at present.

Ingram was the second pick of the year. He was known as Durant Jr. when he debuted. He was signed by Lakers with lightning speed. At first, Ingram was very thin, and at the time, Lakers coach Wo Under Don's egalitarian coaching style, he didn't get many opportunities for growth. His years with the Lakers were basically a wasted time, with only some occasional brilliant moments. With the arrival of James, they were also packaged and traded to the Pelicans in exchange for top insider Davis.

In fact, what the Lakers management did was very correct, although many fans at the time were reluctant to part with these young talents and believed that the Lakers had overdrawn their future. But Davis led the team to win the championship with James in his first season. On the other hand, Ingram became less and less energetic as he played, and Ball suffered consecutive season-ending injuries. If we really counted on these young people, the Lakers still wouldn't be able to win the championship. After coming to the Pelicans, Ingram has plenty of ball rights and has indeed shown his All-Star potential.

The embarrassing thing is that Ingram has stopped making progress since he won the Most Improved Player trophy. His career attendance rate is less than 70%, and he is affected by injuries almost every season. He has a brittle attribute. The partnership with Zion Williamson has never produced good results, and during the playoffs, his big contract was directly wiped out. The first round series was swept by the Thunder . Ingram only averaged 14+3+4 per game, and his shooting percentage was less than 40%. The overall performance can be said to be miserable.

This is why the Pelicans are unwilling to give him such a high contract, and Ingram is no longer in the team's latest promotional video, indicating that there are already thoughts of a trade.
