Lakers not pursuing Brandon Ingram
Ingram’s first NBA franchise is indeed whispered often by scouts as a potential destination for the next Ingram trade, but I haven’t been give any indication that the Lakers are looking to pursue him now. All credible signals circulating about the Lakers suggest that L.A. is looking to fortify its frontcourt and add perimeter defense to assist LeBron James and Anthony Davis.Source: marcstein.substack.com What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Sources: Brandon Ingram wants as close to a max deal in free agency as possible. The Pelicans prefer to pay him slightly above his $36 million salary. He’s averaged 23 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in 5+ years with New Orleans. More info on @hoopshype. hoopshype.com/lists/top-nba-… – 12:17 PM
