The Detroit Pistons are looking to turn their fortunes around after years of struggle in the NBA. With a new President of Basketball Operations in Trajan Langdon, the team is eyeing a potential trade for New Orleans Pelicans star Brandon Ingram.
Ingram, a talented forward, has one year left on his contract and has been the subject of trade rumors following the Pelicans’ disappointing playoff exit. The Pistons, armed with significant salary cap space, could offer him a max-level extension to bolster their roster.
The addition of Ingram would complement the Pistons’ young core, led by Cade Cunningham, the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. Cunningham has shown promise, averaging 22.7 points and 7.5 assists per game this season.
While landing Ingram may not immediately propel the Pistons into playoff contention, it would be a significant step towards rebuilding the team’s competitiveness. With Langdon at the helm, Detroit is looking to reshape its roster and create a foundation for future success.
As the NBA offseason approaches, all eyes will be on the Pistons and their pursuit of Ingram, as they aim to revitalize a franchise that has long been in need of a resurgence.
