Brandon Ingram and Trae Young are both potential trade candidates

As the NBA offseason looms and playoff exits lead to speculation, stars like Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks and Brandon Ingram of the New Orleans Pelicans are under the spotlight for potential trades. Ingram, at 27 before the next season, presents a looming decision for the Pelicans on whether to commit to a significant contract extension. Conversely, the Hawks, armed with the top pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, face choices of rebuilding around Young or leveraging the pick in trades. 

While Young's talent is undeniable, reports from Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports suggest that Ingram might be the hotter commodity on the trade market. Executives' perceptions imply a broader interest in Ingram across various teams compared to Young. This dynamic adds intrigue to the offseason, with teams like the Los Angeles Lakers, Brooklyn Nets, New Orleans Pelicans, Philadelphia 76ers, and Miami Heat potentially in the mix, all eyeing roster improvements through strategic moves.
