With Paul George and Klay Thompson traded, teams are now turning to players like Lauri Markkanen, DeMar DeRozan, Brandon Ingram, and others for shot creation and scoring.

New Orleans is actively shopping Brandon Ingram due to contract issues and the emergence of young talent like Trey Murphy III.

Sacramento Kings are heavily involved in trade talks for Ingram, offering a package including Harrison Barnes and Kevin Huerter, with interest in Markkanen and Kuzma as well.
