Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojVerticalNBA

 

Brooklyn has traded forward Thad Young to the Indiana Pacers for the 20th pick and a future 2nd rounder, league sources tell @TheVertical.

Pacers trying to rebuild quick.

That's a good start. Young, Turner, Teague, and George. Not bad.

Should Lakers deal #2 if Ingram is left for them? I'm not sure he is a guy to build a team around...but he would be a good piece for some other teams. If I'm the Lakers I think I would listen to offers all day and hope to hear a deal that I couldn't pass up.

 

I could be wrong, as I overheard someone on TV compare his game to KD's. Maybe I'm just not seeing it. Either way I think the league is better when the Lakers are in the conversation come playoff time.

^I think he's a very good player, but I'm not seeing the love affair that a lot of people have with him. I think he'll be a starter in the league, but not an all-star caliber player.

Hell, hell, hell, hell no. The Lakers get Ingram and build around Russell, Randle, Ingram and Clarkson. Ingram is a bona fide scorer and should continue to be a bona fide scorer as he develops his NBA game. Ingram or Simmons would both fit just fine in LA.

I hope you are right, I just don't know.

From what I have gathered their plan is to do better in the free agent market. They'd be idiotic to part with any of those 4. They have all 4 of them under rookie contracts for the next 2-4 years and all 4 are talented and should have good to great NBA careers. Build around them and it starts in July. If they strike out in July they still have a great nucleus to build around going forward.

I hope they do make some FA waves...as I've said over and over the NBA needs the Lakers to be good...it's just more interesting IMO.

Hearing the Lakers may be trying to move the #2 pick for Jimmy Butler. I can get behind that!!!!!

[Clyde]

Kings traded Belinelli to the Bobcats.

 

It will put about $900k in tax savings in his pocket over the next two years.

[PurplePride92]

Bender to the Suns leaves the Wolves to choose between Murray and Dunn. Dunn is expected to be the Wolves pick.

[PurplePride92]

Mike Wilbon is an idiot. I needed to document that.

[PurplePride92]

Adrian Wojnarowski is a full 2 minutes ahead of the announcements. :lol2: :lol2:

[PurplePride92]

Wolves are taking Dunn unless they trade the pick says Woja.
