Part 4/7:
So what rationale could there be for pursuing Ingram? The case rests on a few key points. Foremost, Ingram is viewed as a transformative player capable of adding playmaking and creating mismatches on the floor, particularly working alongside Barnes. His experience in winning situations, underscored by his prior championship run, adds further weight to his value as a potential acquisition.
Contrastingly, while some fans argue Pascal Siakam remains a better fit, Ingram's younger age and shooting abilities could offer the Raptors more long-term potential. The team's current addiction to results means that pursuing players like Ingram must also align with their rebuilding strategy, allowing them to remain competitive yet strategically opportunistic.
