Small market teams often have a tough time when compared to some of their NBA counterparts. The New Orleans Pelicans are no exception to that trend, as they’re always at risk of losing their best players, just like what happened with Anthony Davis.

There have been countless rumors about Zion Williamson not being comfortable in the Big Easy, and some believe he could be the next big name to leave the team.

However, that won’t be the case with Brandon Ingram. In a recent interview with The Athletic, the former Los Angeles Lakers forward had nothing but love for the team and the community.

I know my payday is coming around, so I don’t think too much of it. I’m just making sure I carry myself the right way. I’m sticking with what I know: If I stay in the gym, good things will come,” he added.
