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!

When it’s a reasonable possibility, I expect the Lakers to go after a ship like it can’t be denied. I haven’t seen a respectable effort by the Front Office for the last two off seasons nor the last trade deadline. What is going on? |

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. |
