Tell me why JJ does not want him?

As a Laker and Pels guy.. I don't see anything of value for the Pels that the Lakers have. Unless you're replacing CJ with D'Angelo, and I wouldn't say that's much of an upgrade to be honest. Rui is a solid player off the bench but, I wouldn't say he's better than Herb or Trey overall. Same can be said of Reeves. They're all lateral moves. Ingram helps the Lakers in a major way, but as I said, they have nothing that helps the Pels.

The Lakers believe they are entitled to all good players from small market teams. It doesn’t matter what they have or don’t have to offer in a trade.

AD for BI straight up?

That's not true.. Lopsided trades are rare, that includes the Lakers. If you check Laker forums you'll find that many fans are just as rational as a lot of the posters here. You do have a percentage that overvalue assets in trade scenarios, but that happens within every fanbase.

I stand corrected.. Yes, that works for the Pels. lol

What's up with EJ Liddell?

[WhyHornetsWhy]

So…

Wolves bringing back Luka Garza on a two-year deal

KAT, Rudy, Naz Reid, Garza

My point is, they have too many Centers…

Would love to have KAT or REID

[bustah]

What's up with EJ Liddell?

Traded to ATL

[PELICANSFAN]

I?m thinking we will go after someone young like James Wiseman

He should be cheap. However, if we trade for Wendell Carter, we may need a better backup to fill in when Carter is out.

That's not Stein. It is a Laker fan/blogger.

With reports that Ingram may have played his final season in a Pelicans uniform, per NBA insider Marc Stein, the Lakers should target him this offseason. He would only end up with the Lakers by trade, as he still has a year left on his maximum contract with the Pelicans, but nevertheless, he makes sense for the purple and gold.
First off, adding Ingram to the roster would give the Lakers another scoring option for their starting lineup.
Ingram has proven he can get buckets and his presence on this Lakers team would help stretch the floor and space the Lakers’ offense. That’s something the Lakers need. It can’t all fall on LeBron and Anthony Davis.
Additionally, Russell, if he isn’t ultimately traded, has proven to be touch and go

Sounds like if it were to happen it would be for D-Lo . Lol . Griff. Probably hung up the phone if true.

Didn’t take long for them to run Westbrook out

Westbrook was never wanted.. By the front office or the fans. Bron and AD wanted him there. As you all know, if Bron is on your team, then him and Rich Paul basically run your team. He wasn't ran out. He didn't play well.

Speaking of Westbrook. Clippers are working with him to find another home.

Westbrook wanted to be chief not the Indian . Also worries about the fans too much. Bron sent him packing.

Stein is reporting Ingram may have played his last game as a Pel, the blogger added the Lakers should target him.

[IVAN_NOH]

Now Daniel theiss, we're downgrading targets so fast...

[Algiersraised]

I’mbetting we gonna regret letting him go lol

So, read you commas. The report from Stein is that Ingram may have played his final season in a Pelicans uniform and this blogger then takes that info and speculates or suggests that the Lakers should target him.

[PELICANSFAN]

I am sure it is for the backup position. He may be fine. He has some physicality to his game and could fill 10-15 minutes a game. It likely is he or Wiseman as the backup.

Anything is in play now. We missed out on targets.
