The Golden State Warriors are exploring a trade for New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram to enhance their scoring options. However, they are more likely to pursue minor trades to reduce their luxury tax burden. Ingram has performed well this season but has been sidelined since December 7 due to an ankle injury. His uncertain health status and impending free agency raise concerns for the Warriors regarding a potential trade. Currently, the Warriors are $5.987 million over the luxury tax, with a tax bill of $15.173 million. They may opt for smaller trades to alleviate this financial strain as the trade deadline approaches.
