    Regarding Ingram
    He's second to DeRozan in midrange shots in entire NBA.Reaves one of the best in layups, Kinetic 4 in 3 points shots
    We are going to be unstoppable.

    we already tried Ingram with Lebron, was a terrible fit since Ingram needs the ball a lot. Kuzma was the better fit and also don't want him.

    Mid-range shots are the least efficient shot. I think Reddick said he only wants the team to take 10-15 mid-range shots per game. There is no place for BI here, especially with an analytics driven coach and our current roster.

    If NBA is really analytics driven we need to trade LeBron ASAP.
    Statistics actually didn't work in Philly or Houston

    Maybe Lakers get involved in 3 way trade. Do Rich Paul a solid to help facilitate a trade. This guy is going to have to drop his demands he's not as good as he thinks.

    Lebron has evolved his shot diversity. Plus the guy is 40 and on the way out.

    I remember there were some crazy BI stans. He could do no wrong in their eyes.

    Lebron has worked a lot on his three point shot I'm recent years.

    If Lakers could end up with something like Cam Johnson, Valenicusus, and Smart.

    I’m kind of indifferent on Ingram, he’s an All-Star caliber guy that will be overpaid but isn’t quite that next level star the Lakers like to have. That said, whether or not a star player we trade for fits with LeBron should stop being a question soon, if not right now, because the way he’s looking this could be his last season. We should be asking who fits with AD.

    BI doesn't solve defensive issues and is not the type of shooter to complement AD/Reaves.

    Well yeah, that and the overpaid thing is why I said I’m indifferent. He’s not really the guy I’d want to replace LeBron. He’s also hurt a lot and usually plays between 55-65 games per year. If the price is low enough to get him though, like I saw someone say DLo, Rui and a 1st, I could see it being interesting for the FO.

    How are we going to trade a 40 year Lebron?

    My first instinct was to be indifferent to it, but after thinking about it further, I realized getting BI would make no sense.

    There isn't a guard or wing available that's going to fix our defense problem.

    If that's the case, than maybe we can all go in with shooting. What would you do?

    Go grab that 3pt threat big man, that Rob was talking about. Then go grab that bruiser at 5, that Redick was talking about. A lot of problems would be solved. That shouldn't cost any FRP either.

    Talk is cheap, it's about time to actually do something.

    Vucavic fits both of those profiles. I don't think we would need two guys like that if we got him.
