Many Detroit Pistons fans were hoping Trajan Langdon would make a trade with his old team at the trade deadline last season and bring Brandon Ingram to Detroit.
It made sense in some ways, as Ingram would be a solid number two scoring option (something the Pistons hope they are getting when Jaden Ivey returns) and he came at a relatively low price.
Ingram also comes with plenty of red flags, including the fact that he wasn’t even healthy at the time. Toronto took the risk anyway and gave up two veterans and a first-round pick for Ingram, then rewarded him with a fat extension even though he has yet to play a minute for them.
