[Saba Sports News] The New Orleans Pelicans may be moving closer to trading Brandon Ingram as contract talks appear to have stalled.
According to Sean Cunningham of FOX40, the Sacramento Kings are pursuing a trade for Ingram. Ingram has a connection to former Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry, who now works in the Kings’ front office.
The Kings were identified as a potential destination for Ingram once trade talks surfaced. They are seeking another high-end player to complement De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis, as shown by their pre-draft trade discussions. Last season, the Kings finished 46-36 but were eliminated in the play-in tournament by Ingram’s Pelicans.
Sacramento aims to maximize their roster’s potential immediately. Adding Ingram would be costly, but it could be a strategic move for them.
