Grade The Trade: Brandon Ingram To The Orlando Magic
The Orlando Magic had a very successful postseason, taking the Donovan Mitchell-led Cleveland Cavaliers to seven games in the first round. Even if they lost Game 7, they took a very talented team to the brink after finishing with a 47-35 record and the fifth seed in the East. Looking ahead, they need to find a co-star for All-Star Paolo Banchero, who had a breakout season.
Meanwhile, the Pelicans were swept in the first round of the playoffs and are looking to build around Zion Williamson with the right players. The Pelicans have long been rumored to be interested in splitting the duo of Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson, meaning Ingram could be on the way out. A way to rebuild around Zion could see the Pelicans trade Ingram to Orlando in a blockbuster trade.
