Remember when I mentioned that Ingram was on the verge of becoming an All-NBA caliber player last March. I do.

Calling them garbage players is so ridiculous, it shows you lack any objectivity. That said, it is correct to perceive Ingram as damaged goods for now. At least for a short stretch, Ingram was making it look like both teams were dumb--the Lakers for trying to trade him with a bunch of other assets, and the Pelicans for failing to do so. If he could keep up his post all-star numbers over an entire season, he would be All-NBA material. Even going back to after LeBron got hurt, he was putting up all-star caliber numbers. ....

You’ve got to be kidding me ? All NBA-Material for Ingram this year ? he’s playing well but he’s no where close.

You don't read very carefully, apparently. 27.8 points per game on 57% shooting, and 7.5 rebounds per game, post all-star break. That looks like All-NBA to me.
