Lakers Willing To Part With Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kuzma, Or Lonzo Ball For Superstar 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Jan 25, 2019 11:53 pm

The Los Angeles Lakers are looking to add either a 3-point shooter or a superstar as the trade deadline approaches.


The Lakers would prefer to add a second superstar through free agency but are willing to part with some combination of Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kuzma, and Lonzo Ball in order to obtain a franchise player.


The Lakers are also looking for 3-point shooters on expiring contracts, including Terrence Ross, Wayne Ellington, Garrett Temple, and Trevor Ariza.

In other news all teams are willing to trade a mediocre to good player for a superstar.

Wow. KCP must really be in the doghouse. Is Clutch ok with moving him or has he served his purpose getting Lebron to LA?

Too late. Lakes were too late on PG-13 and Kawhi. The Lakers probably could've traded Lonzo Ball to the Suns for their "superstar" Trevor Ariza lol.

So, they are willing to trade a non-superstar for a superstar? Yeah, I should hope so. Now the quest begins for a team willing to trade a superstar for a non-superstar. Oh, those don't exist. Oh well, :noway:

Good to see the plan to grow and develop these young guys under LeBron has gone out the window. I’m actually surprised the veil has taken this long to be pulled back.

You won't be getting a superstar trading that trash. Be lucky to get a half decent 3 point shooter :lol:

**** is laughable. Lonzo shot is broke af, Ingram is trash, and Kuzma would be a bench warmer on any other squad. Honestly them 3 are some of the worst players in the league. Rather have Swaggy or even a different Ball brother than them

Tristan Thompson and JR Smith are both ready for whatever LeBuddyGM wants to throw the Cavs' way.
