Draymond Green suggests Brandon Ingram could be trade asset for Clippers
Summary

The NBA penalized the Los Angeles Clippers following an investigation into salary cap circumvention involving Kawhi Leonard. The sanctions include a $30 million fine, a one-year suspension for team owner Steve Ballmer, and the forfeiture of five first-round draft picks. Amid the franchise's need for future assets, Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green suggested that Brandon Ingram could eventually be moved to recoup draft capital. Green stated on his show that Ingram, who arrived from the Toronto Raptors alongside Gradey Dick, has an opportunity to boost his trade value while playing alongside Darius Garland. Despite the suggestion, NBA insider Jake Fischer reported that the team is not currently shopping the forward. While the Clippers could evaluate a move later in the season, there is no indication that a trade is imminent.
