NBA Insiders: Sacramento Kings Eyes Brandon Ingram Trade as They Gain Interest from 76ers, Warriors and More
According to reports, the Sacramento Kings are considering making a major move in the NBA by trading for New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram. While discussions between the two teams have not yet progressed, it is said that the Philadelphia 76ers and the Golden State Warriors are also potential destinations for Ingram.
During the 2024 NBA Draft, Sacramento offered a trade package to other teams in the league that included players Kevin Huerter, Harrison Barnes, and draft picks. One of those picks was used to select Devin Carter with the No. 13 overall selection. General manager Monte McNair expressed satisfaction with landing Carter, indicating that the Kings may be less eager to include him in a trade.
Despite selecting Carter, the Kings still possess their first-round picks in upcoming drafts starting in 2026. They could potentially use these picks along with Huerter and Barnes to create an attractive offer for a player of Ingram’s caliber. The addition of Ingram, who averaged 20.8 points, 5.7 assists, and 5.1 rebounds in the previous season, would greatly benefit Sacramento’s young core of players.
If Ingram were to join the Kings, he would bring a dynamic presence to their offense and defense while also adding depth and versatility to their roster. With his ability to score from anywhere on the court and his strong playmaking skills, Ingram would be an excellent fit for Sacramento’s style of play and could help take them to new heights in the Western Conference.
