If Ingram do
The really good teams who could use him can't afford to offer him much as they have no cap space. If he is not traded, I think his options are either going to a really bad team for good money to help their culture or re-sign with us. I have no idea what other teams would offer him, but think 3 for 35 with a small guarantee for the third year would be good for both parties.
I guess I'd go after Ingram then. Could be a perfect fit next to Sexton/Lauri as our iso bucket getter.
Yeah Ingram would be a nice fit for us.
No he wouldn`t. A team with Ingram and Markkanen making 30% of the cap each has no realistic path to real success.
Ochai's inconsistency on offense, especially 3 pt shooting hurts him. Most of his 3 pt shots aren't even close, and his attempts are mostly wide open shots. His D has been better this year though, so credit him for that.
Seems like that would be too much for them to give up unless they are really desperate for the money savings which I can't imagine they are.
I have all the confidence in the world in Ochai. When you have that good of a shooting stroke things will click at some point and he will be the perfect 3 and D guy. Defensively he has improved significantly this year and more importantly he seems to be embracing his role defensively.
The thing that hurts him on offense is that he cant do anything outside of shoot corner 3's or play in transition. That's it. He's basically useless in halfcourt offense. He does a decent job of moving the ball on offense when he gets it, so he isnt as negative as he could be. Shooters will always ebb and flow, but when you dont have anything else to prop up your contributions on offense, it looks ugly when you're on a cold streak.
