Brandon Ingram gives the Jazz options
As long as they're not giving up too much, Ingram is worth a flyer. His contract will expire in 2025. If he takes the Jazz a step further, that works out great for them in the long-term. If he doesn't, it won't hurt them much.
If the Jazz decide he's not worth it by mid-season, suddenly, he becomes a trade asset for teams trying to load up for their playoff run. If he is worth it, they could keep and potentially at a discount knowing that teams are trying to save money to avoid tax aprons.
One of the Jazz's biggest question is what are their long-term plans? Ingram could potentially paint a clearer picture one way or the other.
