Brandon Ingram cruising towards max deal, unlikely to hit restricted market

Brandon Ingram’s breakout season with the New Orleans Pelicans could net him as much as $166 million as he enters restricted free agency and while that number is mind-boggling there are a few key things to remember.

While Jayson Tatum‘s ascension with the Boston Celtics has taken some of the attention away from Ingram it should not detract from the sensational season he is having.

Players who produce the numbers Ingram has this season are all on a max contract or are about to be if you include Jayson Tatum‘s upcoming rookie extension.
