On December 2, Beijing time, according to a report from Shams, Pelicans star Ingram has decided to sign with Klutch Sports Agency. It also means that he will be another NBA player under the agent Rich Paul. Because he is in the same agency as James and thick eyebrows, many fans and media speculate that Ingram is expected to return to the Lakers in the future, and the American media posted two major transaction plans.

In the offseason, Ingram and Pelicans failed to reach an early contract extension and failed to leave the team through a trade. At the end of June, Pelicans executive vice president David Griffin said, "Brandon (Ingram) wants to stay here...... At the same time, we are also faced with financial realities. ”

Ingram's annual salary this season is $36 million and he will be a full free agent this summer. So far this season, Ingram has averaged 22.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game, and is currently sidelined with right calf soreness. Ingram, the Lakers' pick in the 2016 draft, was sent to the Pelicans in a three-way trade involving thick eyebrows in July 2019.

Previously, Ingram signed with Excel Sports Agency, but after failing to secure a contract for him in the offseason, he decided to switch agencies and eventually reached an agreement with Rich Paul's Klutch Sports Agency.

According to HoopsHype, Rich Paul is currently the second-ranked agent in the NBA by the total amount of contracts signed by players, behind Schultz. Prior to signing Ingram, Rich Paul had already signed 37 NBA players, with big-name stars including James, Bushy Eyebrows, LaVine, VanVleet, Garland, Maxey, Fox, Jerami Grant, Dejounte Murray, and more.

After Shams released the news that Ingram had signed with Rich Paul, there were many predictions in the comment section that Ingram would return to the Lakers. Recently, the American media also posted two trade plans for Ingram's return to the Lakers, and both of them are three-way trade plans between the Lakers, Pelicans and the Trail Blazers.
