Pretty much.I will say Ingram is starting to grow on me...
He might still "make it". Needs to develop that jump-shot though and the three ball especially. His time-line is still a couple years down the road.
If LBJ goes to the Lakers he's 100% conceding titles for the rest of his prime. For this reason I think they're no longer a threat.
LBJ is an basketball minded idiot if he goes there, and he's a smart business man.
Lakers are gutter trash in my honest opinion, and I mean they're trash compared to 9-10 teams in the West. I just don't like their talent mix. Randle is already rumored out, D Russ got traded, like what are they doing? They tanked 2 years basically just to trade those 2 picks... i mean it turned into Kuzma and Brook, but if Brook bolts then bad trade. LA will still be depending on free agency rather their youth. Also, Lonzo won't magically shoot better with LeBron passing to him, this isn't 2k, Dimer badge has no effect in real life.
Basically the Lakers will have to showcase themselves as a fringe playoff team for these superstars to even want to come. They haven't been free agent friendly for how long now?
