The Raptors got Brandon Ingram for next to nothing and some other contenders may have missed out on a golden opportunity.

The Raptors got involved in the trade deadline action by acquiring one-time All-Star Brandon Ingram from the Pelicans. Once the deal's terms are finalized, the next order of business is getting Ingram in a Raptors uniform and onto the floor next to his new teammates.
