According to sources, Brandon Ingram is eligible for a four-year, $208 million extension this offseason, but the New Orleans Pelicans are unlikely to offer him that maximum deal, as reported by The Athletic.
Trey Murphy is also eligible to sign an extension this offseason, while Zion Williamson, CJ McCollum, and Herb Jones already have a combined $84 million owed to them in 25-26.
In their 22-year history, the Pelicans have never paid the luxury tax.
If the Pelicans choose not to trade or extend Ingram, they face the possibility of losing him for nothing as a free agent in 2025.
