NBA Rumors: The Lakers Distance Themselves from the Race for Brandon Ingram
According to Marc Stein, the Los Angeles franchise has wanted to deny interest in signing the Pelicans player
The Los Angeles Lakers are not going through their best moment, far from it. After losing 7 of their last 10 games, including 3 consecutive defeats, the team has dropped to the 10th position in the NBA Western Conference.
For this reason, it was reported by NBA Rumors that the Lakers were looking to trade for Brandon Ingram, taking advantage of the fact that the Pelicans are at the bottom of the West and may decide to move some of their stars to restructure their roster.
However, insider Marc Stein has revealed that the Los Angeles franchise is not planning to push for signing the player who was once theirs before the trade for Anthony Davis in 2019.
"I haven't been given any indication that the Lakers are looking to sign him now. All credible signals circulating about the Lakers suggest that the team is aiming to strengthen its frontcourt and add perimeter defense to assist LeBron James and Anthony Davis," Stein said.
