This is honestly opposite of what I heard, Heard the pelicans office likes Ingram the most, with Lonzo being second since his trade value is higher than kuzma

I mean no disrespect but some of you thinking were getting this deal done WITHOUT BOTH Brown or Tatum? Come on now.
If NO valued the 4th pick at all, they wouldnt be making LA shop it for a different player.
Well yes, I dont think its a good draft either but I would prefer the 4th pick to the 3 picks we have combined.CelticFaninLBC wrote:The Corey's wrote:

You must consider this a good draft then.
Its not that I value those players, its just that Brown and Smart to me arent much superior to those players. Smart is otherworldly defensively but to me, thats it. Brown has never impressed me, I think Stevens can pull similar production from any of the Lakers players. Well not Ball, hes trash.

According to the apparently verified insider on Lakers reddit, this is not true.RDAmbition 93 points· 20 hours ago

I mean both are super injury prone, one can barely dribble and shoot, the other is awful on defense, had a career threatening injury and is in the 4th year of his rookie deal. So yea.PLO wrote:Tatum played OK - took advantage of a few mismatches - decent on the defensive end. He is what we thought he was going into the season - a technically very proficient player operating close to his career ceiling as a rookie.

I kind of like Kuzma. Read Ingram had some kind of quack surgery and he has lost lot of value? If that is even close to true it is ball Kuxma and picks. What else do they have?. Many teams in NBA could come up with lots better offers. Like near every team in NBA could come up with better offer.CelticFaninLBC wrote:The Corey's wrote:SmartWentCrazy wrote:

If Ingram didn't have health issues, he's on par with Brown. Lonzo's not going to play in NO, so they have to deal him for a pick in a weak draft. Kuzma's just not that good.

He is right now.
He's not better than Horford. If Hayward is able to get to about 80% of his former self, he isn't better than him either. He averaged 16 points on 13 shots and 2 assists.
After watching this years season and playoffs Brown and even injured Hayward looking like keepers over him if I have to trade. His fade away jumpers made me sick watching him this year. Kobe ruined him.sully00 wrote:Bar Fight wrote:sully00 wrote:He is right now.

Al Horford is a FA and right now is right now. Not two years ago and not 3 years from now. Right now the best player on the Boston Celtics is Jayson Tatum.
Some alleged insider from L.A. looked him up on Twitter. Guess when he was 16 or so he broke the D12 to L.A.

Yes but there is no indication we can get AD without giving Tatum.
Well, NO has to find something that tops Brown, Smart, picks, etc. first.
Honestly. That Laker package is better than this deal. Even without Kuzma.

I liked Kuzma over Tatum this year? I do not watch the Lakers often. What I saw I liked. I would not be shocked other people in basketball feel the same?
