Cleveland Cavaliers Receive: F Brandon Ingram, F Naji Marshall
New Orleans Pelicans Receive: G Collin Sexton, F Lauri Markkanen, F Cedi Osman, 2022 First Round Pick, 2022 Second Round Pick (via HOU)
Brandon Ingram would be a fit next to Darius Garland on the perimeter for the Cleveland Cavaliers. He would be the centerpiece of this trade going back to the Cavaliers and would bring a new dynamic to the half-court offense.
Cleveland would also get Naji Marshall back in the trade as a depth piece. Meanwhile, the Cavaliers have plenty of options to package together as a return.
Ingram has plenty of value and this is something the Pelicans can take advantage of. It begins with Collin Sexton, who has shown some intriguing flashes but did not receive a long-term contract extension.
Lauri Markkanen and Cedi Osman would be the other players being sent away, along with two picks in this year’s draft. The pick would be unprotected to further incentivize the New Orleans Pelicans to make a deal.
