Brandon Ingram not available in trade package for Nets’ Kevin Durant

Reports indicate that the Pelicans are unwilling to include Brandon Ingram in a trade package for Kevin Durant.

While the news that the Celtics have joined the pursuit for Kevin Durant it’s easy to overlook the various other teams that have assets and may can make a move for the sharpshooting forward.

According to HoopsHype writer Michael Scotto, Ingram has not been made available by the New Orleans Pelicans.  Scotto said, “You wondered if Brandon Ingram of the Pelicans could be a guy that’s put on the table? To this point, I’ve heard he’s not been put on the table.”

While there are some teams with young talent interested in Durant, it seems that the trade market is inflated due to the Timberwolves trade for three-time Defensive Player of the Year, Rudy Gobert.

The Pelicans appear to have no interest in trading for the former MVP. Taking Ingram off the trade table surely dissuades the Nets as the Pelicans aren’t interested in shipping their future to Brooklyn.

The Celtics are reported to still be in talks with the Nets for Kevin Durant.
