Former NBA All-Star Brandon Ingram is disgruntled in New Orleans, per several insiders, and would prefer to play for another team starting with the 2024-25 season. Elsewhere, the Warriors could use a reliable 20 PPG-plus scorer such as Ingram to pair with the aging duo of Stephen Curry and Draymond Green.
The two parties would benefit from a union. That’s the opinion of Kendrick Perkins. On the July 17 episode of “NBA Today,” the former NBA Champion urged the Warriors to reach out to the Pelicans for a mutually beneficial transaction.
“I would like to see Brandon Ingram [to the Warriors] because we know that the Pelicans are listening to offers,” Perkins said. “Go to the Golden State Warriors. I think Brandon Ingram alongside Draymond Green and Steph Curry not only would do wonders for him, but that would do wonders for the Golden State Warriors.”
Perkins believes Ingram, who averaged 20.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.7 assists in the 2023-24 season, would solve a lot of Golden State’s issues on both sides of the ball.
“This is a young man that has proven that he can go out there and average 25 a night. He’s a bucket-getter. He plays the most important position [the wing] in the game. And putting him alongside Steph Curry and Draymond Green would actually put the Warriors back in the thick of things in the Western Conference.”
“I would like to see Brandon Ingram go to the Golden State Warriors… putting him alongside Steph Curry and Draymond Green would actually put the Warriors back in the thick of things, especially in the Western Conference.”
