Brandon Ingram embarks on a new chapter with the Toronto Raptors after being traded from the New Orleans Pelicans. Acquired for a significant package including Bruce Brown Jr. and future draft picks, Ingram brings his scoring prowess to a Raptors team looking to rebuild around Scottie Barnes. While Ingram averaged 22.2 points per game last season, speculation arises whether he might be moved again if Toronto opts for a youth movement.

Ingram's versatility as a scorer makes him an attractive asset for teams like the Cleveland Cavaliers and Sacramento Kings, who could offer players like Darius Garland or DeMar DeRozan in exchange. His presence could elevate the Raptors' status in the Eastern Conference or serve as a stepping stone for further trades as they seek to revamp their roster.
