That means even DLo is expendable. I hope he gets traded for a true SG. Ball will be the future of the Lakers.


Wow. How many threads do you plaster with this nonsense?

You do know Ball, analytically actually is more of an NBA "SG." You absolutely need DLO if you're going to draft Ball.

Seems i'm in the minority but i like the statement.

Magic is telling everyone to throw out your first offer for ingram and move-on to looking at any other assets they hold.

No-one in the league would ever take it literally IF they were suddenly looking to trade their own normally untouchable asset... "What if *insert impossible player* " is such a nitpicky, hating response.

He set the bar for his phone to ring and eliminated a bunch of silly conversations he would not entertain and sets a bad tone. What i mean is, he just turned down everyone's offers for ingram in a very positive manner; and if anyone does mention ingram it will be because the other names mentioned will raise eyebrows.

So would you trade Ingram for Klay?


Great food for thought, at least for me. Amazing how much consideration that proposal triggered. Ingram for Klay? As difficult as that would be, and the trade being the lone move, I'd be leaning toward no. The primary reason between the stage of their careers. If Klay were about two years closer in age to our core, then the answer is yes,

But if I were considering it along with other moves; for example trying to acquire PG13 now, my response would probably be yes.

I'm not a fan of klay thompson so I wouldn't do that trade but there are definitely some players I would consider trading ingram for

I'd rather not trade ingram though. For example I wouldn't trade him for george

No, just thinking of a trade that might be acceptable to both sides.

Not a fan of what Magic said even if I agree. I mean, first of all, every player is tradeable. If SPurs offer Kawhi Leonard for Brandon Ingram then the Lakers would be dumb not to take that.

Plus. Not a great motivator for the other young guys and could even cause issues among them with Ingram being the boss' favorite.

I would argue that it would be a huge motivator for the young guys to place themselves in Ingram's company, unless they're total wimps.

Assuming DLO and Randle, Ingram needs a couple more years to be in their company.

Oh I agree with you, not Magic on this one. I'm just talking from that perspective for my point.

Even if it's bizarre that Ingram is held in such regard, they should still be motivated as competitors to prove him wrong. Even if it doesn't make sense.

If it's such a huge motivator, why not say that no one is untradeable? That would not only be more true, but by your reasoning, would be a huge motivator for all then.

He was just answering a question, not intentionally trying to motivate them. He really does believe Ingram is untouchable, so that's what he said.

Regardless of Magic's intention, if DLO and Randle or any other young guy heard that, as competitors, they'd probably be motivated unless they just want to feel sorry for themselves instead.

Like I said, doesn't matter if it's fair or right that Magic said that. But you'd imagine that a competitor would step up to that and take it like a challenge

And Ingram needs to make the next couple of years count as well. It was good to see him finally finding some aggression at the end of the season.

Klay would make a nice backcourt with Dlo. Klay is the only elite guard in playoffs that almost don't shoot free throws so pairing him and Russell we have a good chance to implement a 3pt/PnR offensive system. Shipping our only player able to attack the basket playing above the rim we get rid of dunks, blow by speed, Iso and free throw shooting, all those things of the past.

"everyone makes mistakes" haha it's the most hilarious thing he's done.

I swear magic said that about zubac in the same conversation about how each guy needs to improve. Maybe a follow up interview somewhere?
