LeBron and Magic got
Russell, Randle, Nance Jr., Lonzo, Hart and Ingram the f out of Dodge.

This is ridiculous. Yes, this was a great deal for the Lakers, but come on, a team that failed to make the playoffs, can't be the title favorites.

Yeah that’s got to assume Kawhi to clips. Basically any player that wants to live in LA should want to play for the Clips. Aside from Balmer seeming a bit Cuban-esque from time to time, they’ve set themselves up beautifully.

Trading number 4 for 8/10 would be really smart given what a crapshoot this draft is.

They waited this long to agree to THAT package LMAO


What's crazy is they offered Ingram, Ball, AND Kuzma back in January and the Lakers ended up keeping one of their 2 young scorers.

It's more value in the long run but worthless for Lebron's 2 year window.

there's a lot of hedging that the lakers will find that third max guy in free agency

Only if they actually make a good choice with that extra pick. Some late first rounder could be worthless...

What do we actually know about Ingram's situation? Any Ingram fans out there that can fill me in?

Is Ball going to whinge the whole time? I kinda like his game if magically he got his shot to fall.


Ingram will be fine. His diagnosis has alaways seemed suspicious to me. Fabricated imo.

I love Ball when health and wihtna strict ball-handling role. An amazing feel for the game and great defense. Pelicans got some great talent, no matter what the Lakers haters have said over the past couple of seasons.

I think that’s BI’s honest feelings. I’m telling you like I said last season that this guy has a huge ceiling. He got a taste of playing with LeBron and didn’t like it.

Great effort by Pelinka. They managed to package 1 good piece (pick 4), with 5 other meh pieces.....packaged it all up in a way a Wall st mortgage trader would be proud of...... and bingo.....a superstar.

He's a worse shooter than Kuzma and his game is less catch and finish and more iso so it makes sense he wouldn't like playing with Lebron.

Good deal for both teams. Just hope the Lakers can actually build a good team around LeBron now instead of wasting his final years. Two guys who aren't gonna be all-stars, the fourth pick in a three-man draft, and some late firsts is a great deal to get frickin AD.

Have to laugh at the spacing that Lonzo-Jrue-Ingram-Zion-Center is going to provide though..

I have no idea where this love for Kuzma is coming from. Did people watch him last year? He is terrible defensively and faded badly offensively in the 2nd half. Finished the year shooting 30 percent from 3.

He can be someones goto scorer off the bench and help a contending a team I guess but for the Pelicans they need lotto tickets not Kuzmas.
