New Orleans Pelicans star Brandon Ingram is the subject of rumors that the Sacramento Kings are interested in trading for him. Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reports that while discussions have not progressed, the Kings have expressed exploratory interest in acquiring Ingram. Along with the Pelicans, the Philadelphia 76ers and Golden State Warriors are also potential trade destinations for Ingram.
During the 2024 NBA Draft, the Kings reportedly offered a trade package that included players Kevin Huerter and Harrison Barnes, along with draft picks. While Carter has shown promise, the Kings still have future draft picks that could be used in a potential trade for a player like Ingram.
Ingram had an impressive season in 2023-24, averaging 20.8 points, 5.7 assists, and 5.1 rebounds per game. His addition to the Kings would provide a significant boost to their young core. General manager Monte McNair has shown a willingness to make bold moves in the past, and Ingram could be a key piece in the Kings’ roster moving forward. Stay tuned for updates on this developing trade rumor.
