Cleveland Cavaliers Receive: F Brandon Ingram

New Orleans Pelicans Receive: G Collin Sexton, F Lauri Markkanen, 2023 First-Round Pick, 2025 First-Round Pick

Brandon Ingram has taken such big steps in the NBA and is only 24-years-old. He already has a Most Improved Player Award under his belt and is a consistent high-volume scorer on a nightly basis.

With that being said, there is another star in New Orleans that the front office believes can be the future of the team. Ingram would be worth a lot at the moment.

Cleveland would begin the return with Sexton. There were trade talks in the offseason surrounding the point guard but nothing happened.

There were alleged disgruntled feelings around the team because of Sexton’s shot selection. Cleveland would also part ways with Lauri Markkanen, who was acquired from the Chicago Bulls in the offseason.

The Cavaliers added Markkanen, which was a bit of a surprise given their current state. That has turned around and now the frontcourt is deep.

Allen and Evan Mobley have emerged while Kevin Love is even contributing on a consistent basis. THis gives Cleveland some room to send one player away in a trade if one presents itself.

Let’s take a closer look and see how this trade would benefit both sides right away.
