Ben Simmons is a future superstar. Donovan Mitchell. Jayson Tatum. You tend to know pretty early. But hey, I'm a Laker lifer. I hope I'm wrong. Ben Simmons and Donovan Mitchell are a little bit unfair comparisons because they are older than Ingram. Ingram and Tatum are the same age, and if you look at the statistics this season side-by-side, Ingram was better in most categories. So if you're considering Tatum to be a lock superstar, than you should also consider Ingram to be, IMO. Tatum was a rookie and was leading a team to game 7 of the conference finals. You have to consider the marathon, not the sample size. It cannot be ignored. He's deemed untradeable in Kawhi talks, whereas we would trade Ingram for Kawhi, I'm sure. We'll agree to disagree. Like I said, I hope I'm wrong. Nothing bad about being a fringe All Star. I just see 'prime Tayshaun Prince but better' as the eventual comp.

Well if we're eventually going to trade him to SA for Kawhi, then I hope I'm wrong about him and you're right! PS I see BI as a Giannis with a jumper. Not quite as athletic, but a purer shooter.

So who we giving up then? Kawhi is my #1 fav player my dudes. I'm not sure what Magic and Pelinka will give up, but for me it's Kuzma and parts (no Ingram, no Ball). Anything more is troublesome. To get Leonard? Come on man you gotta give up something to get something. Give em Ingram and Kuz. Its Kahwi fuckin Leonard.

Come on man you gotta give up something to get something. Give em Ingram and Kuz. Its Kahwi fuckin Leonard. First off, Pop doesn't want to trade him here. Second, we cannot gut the team for a guy that we could potentially sign outright next season. See Paul George.
