Sixers the Favorite in the Brandon Ingram Trade Market
Philadelphia finds itself in a precarious position early this offseason.
The Sixers are desperate to find a third star to pair with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey, but their options could begin to run thin.
It’s possible that LeBron James and Paul George return to their respective LA teams in the coming days or weeks, which would leave Ingram as one of the best remaining options.
Ingram, who turns 27-years-old in September, has averaged 20+ points per game for five straight seasons and would be a MASSIVE upgrade to the starting rotation over Tobias Harris.
It remains to be seen what Philadelphia would have to part with to acquire Ingram, but stay tuned to Section 215 for all of the trade rumblings, as a move could happen soon.
