The Golden State Warriors have entered a re-tooling era. It’s not a rebuild, they still have Stephen Curry and Draymond Green with Steve Kerr at the helm. But they lost Klay Thompson and they’re coming off a disappointing 2023-24 season. The Warriors have made a few offseason moves so far, but there’s one target former NBA player turned ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins believes they should go after. Perkins thinks a Brandon Ingram trade would help the Warriors regain contender status.
“I would like to see Brandon Ingram, because we know the Pelicans are listening to offers, go to the Golden State Warriors,” Perkins said. “I think Brandon Ingram, alongside Draymond Green and Steph Curry, not only would do wonders for him, but would do wonders for the Golden State Warriors.
“This is a young man that has proven that he can go out there and average 25 a night. He’s a bucket getter, most important position in the game and I think putting him alongside Stephen Curry and Draymond Green would put the Warriors back in the thick of things especially in the Western Conference.”
While chattered has certainly circulated regarding the Pelicans listening to offers on a possible Brandon Ingram trade, if the Warriors were to jump in the mix, a potential trade would almost certainly cost them some of their young players. Players such as Jonathan Kuminga, Brandon Podziemski and possibly Moses Moody would have to be heading back to the Pelicans in a potential trade.
