That's the issue lol. Morey has his eyes set on particular players and he wants to "win" the trade. I do think Ingram can be an "All-Star caliber player" like he mentioned before. I like Dame and would take him now, but he'll be 32 next season and I'm not for giving him that supermax extension. I never been a fan of Harden's game and he'll be 33. With Joel's health always being a concern, a Harden deal will literally just be a 2 year window. Beal is the one guy of Morey's preferred players, I would be all for. But, I think the outcome with Beal is that he goes to FA and stays in Washington then asks for a trade a year later
I think Ingram good enough. That's a deal that does benefit all 3 teams. But, if he's waiting on a Mega deal that he "wins", that's a pipedream. Ingram is in position where he could be an All-Star if he was on a winning team and is in Joel's window. A lot of these other deals involve young ascending players who aren't in Embiid’s timeline or guys who could be good complementary players. Ingram could be a legit #2
