Yes they do? The Kyrie negotiations were all in broad daylight. And the Lakers have been connected with DFS for ages now.

dunno about the Kyrie stuff, obviously if the other team leaks they're gonna leak. There are tons of under-the-radar trades that the Lakers had. They may have been "connected" with DFS but there was no prior indication this trade was going to happen, just speculation

In my opinion, Ingram is the only realistic difference maker in the current trade candidate. I was very hesitate a month ago whether we should make the move. However, the better we are playing, the more I think we should trade our FRP for him.

I would say, see how we play till the end of January. If we prove to be more than a Play-in team then the right move would be going all in.

Ingram commits almost 4 turnovers a game with around 5 assists. The Lakers can’t survive 3 turnover prone players in the starting line up.

Pelinka needs to get a legitimate back up C. The backcourt needs upgrading to a legitimate starting PG too!

Dude ingram wouldn't be our primary ball handler lol. He'd be the third option and he'd be great at it.

You don't think that Ingram's Olympic squad performance has a bearing on how he would perform on the Lakers? Wasn't he a secondary option on that squad too and didn't do well in that "off-the-ball + D" role?
(I'm no expert on Ingram, if you've seen him play recently I'll be happy for any insight you can offer).

Ingrams hasn't played on any type of functional franchise. He was with us when we were at our worst

Went to NOP and that deteriorated into hot garbage. As a 3rd guy on this team i think he'd be great. Wouldn't have to be the primary playmaker or scorer. But he could be slotted as one when is needed.

One of those times you love to be wrong.

If Rob really knew about it for a month, now I'm wondering if he made the DFS trade knowing he and Luka are close.

I need magics response. He loved Luka- but rob getting him may have soured him on him.

Yeah I can see magic not saying anything about rob, and more focus on Luka.

I’m waiting for anyone to say something about.

Have we heard of anything from Luka??

I’ll do it for you:

Congrats to Lakers nation and GM Rob Pelinka on trading for young superstar Luka Doncic. Showtime in Los Angeles is back!! Yeah!

Dlo is worthless on a Luka team anyway so bball fit wise this is the right move, but I think the timing doesn't work out as the Dlo trade was 5 weeks ago at this point
