Damn right it is. What's this rush to sell Brandon Ingram? It's like, "Let's hurry and sell him before the fans realize how good he's becoming and now we're stuck with this guy for the next decade."
Is Paul George better than BI? Yes. But has BI shown enough flashes to think he can be just as good as PG someday? Definitely. Can he be better than Paul George? There's a chance.
If we were to put BI on the trading block, 29 teams would call us back immediately looking to fleece us. If we trade BI for a couple of shooter who can compliment Lebron and Paul George, history will show we lost the trade. If BI ended up on a team like San Antonio, with their philosophies, shooting coach, and player development it's possible we will regret trading him for years to come.
I know BI isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but I feel he doesn't quite get the respect he deserves either. Is Lonzo the better player? Yes he is. But since Lonzo's return, BI & Zo have developed this nice chemistry. Nothing fancy, but they do find each other for the open shot. They both are encouraging each other to shoot, and it's paying off for them and for us as Lakers fans. |

Treasonous. BI has strung together some pretty good games and is playing really well with Lonzo. He's only 20, but let's trade him for Danny Green or Kyle Korver. 🙄 |

I can't believe Laker fans in general aren't higher on B.I. He has the highest ceiling of anyone on our team. Love the kid. |

Ingram can just change to #15 or something. He'll be fine. |

Green helps the Spurs win more this season than Ingram, so I'm not concerned about that lineup. But pairing Leonard and BI together for the next 5-8 seasons under Pop's tutelage would be pretty sick. |

If he keeps playing like he has, he won't be going anywhere. 3-ball is key. |

I like how we can meet each other halfway on this discussion. 😁 Both teams would benefit in this very hypothetical situation. |

20 years old with big upside.
I would be shocked if he isn't a Laker for at least the next 10 years. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny |

If BI can hit those driving midrange shots, then he is going to be golden. _________________ LAKERS 2019-2020: NBA World Champions! |
