Tragic Loss: Los Angeles Lakers Head Coach involved in car crash that Leads to…..
At this point in the summer, fans and writers alike have imagined how Brandon Ingram fits on nearly every NBA team.
Why not the one that drafted him?
The Los Angeles Lakers have been hiding in plain sight as a landing spot for Ingram, the franchise that he spent the first three years of his career with after being named the No. 2 overall pick in 2016 out of Duke.
A new Big Three of Ingram, LeBron James and Anthony Davis should complement each other quite well, although the Lakers don’t have a center to send back to the New Orleans Pelicans, something the franchise desperately needs.
Any trade of Ingram needs to send a starting-caliber center back to the Pels, given that Jonas Valančiūnas left for the Washington Wizards in free agency.
Newly signed veteran Daniel Theis is a backup and rookie Yves Missi is still pretty raw.
A third team will be needed to facilitate Ingram’s return to Los Angeles, with an obvious choice sticking out due to its plethora of center options.
The Portland Trail Blazers are the easy choice as a third team to help get this deal done.
With Deandre Ayton, Robert Williams III and rookie Donovan Clingan on the roster, Portland should be willing to part with one of its veteran big men, especially if it means improving on the wing and adding some draft picks in the process.
