The Golden State Warriors are not currently pursuing trade opportunities for All-Stars Zach LaVine and Brandon Ingram, despite both being available on the market. After failing to secure Lauri Markkanen, the Warriors have expressed no interest in adding either LaVine or Ingram to their roster.
While both players bring valuable skills, including scoring and playmaking, their hefty contract situations are a primary concern for Golden State. LaVine, with a contract worth nearly $90 million over the next two seasons, and Ingram, who is seeking a lucrative extension, would add significant financial strain to the Warriors’ books .
Instead of making a major move, the Warriors are focused on developing their young players, including Jonathan Kuminga, Moses Moody, and Brandin Podziemski. They are also looking at smaller-scale deals as they enter the season . Despite the need for another star alongside Steph Curry, the front office is reportedly “comfortable” with their current roster and is not panicking after missing out on Markkanen .
