To educated NBA fans, LeVert is equal to or better than Ingram. Allen is a better player than Kuzma, in my opinion, but they could be equally valued for some. Lozo Ball has said he doesn't want to play here, and he can't shoot. Dinwiddie could also be in the deal, and he is better or equal to Ball.

Lakers have a better draft pick now that their "good" young players have them out of the playoffs, but Nets have two picks this year. Future picks for both teams are a wash.

Plus, teams are highly motivated to trade their star players out of their conferences, so they don't have to face that player's team on the way to the finals. Plus, the Lakers and the LeBron/Klutch mafioso publicly disrepected the Pelicans in the way they forced this trade demand to try and get to the Lakers, and smeared the Pels franchise on the way. Plus, that's the same city that has the Rams who took the Saints spot in the SuperBowl. Gayle and co. are going to show some pride and take a stand for small market teams, there's no way they are trading AD to the Lakers. And if all that didn't happen, the Lakers young players aren't valued higher than other players and draft picks other teams will offer, as discussed in the beginning of this post.

LeVert is 24 & coming off a major ankle injury. Plus he's 3 years older than BI and does nothing significantly better than BI.

I agree that Jarrett Allen is better than Kuzma.

There is a decent sized gap between Dinwiddie & Lonzo right now thats no doubt. But he's also 4 years older than Lonzo. Can't argue with Lavar's comments about Lonzo not wanting to be in Nola though

And I think the Pelicans made their stand at the trade deadline but carrying it over to the offseason ends up damaging our reputation. I believe that IF the Lakers have the best offer, there's a good chance a trade is made. Problem is, they won't come close to having the best offer. Bc I'm fairly confident a Celtics trade gets done before free agency which pretty much negates what Kyrie does & that the Knicks will get a top 3 pick

Ingram averages more points, rebounds, and same amount of assists in his career than LeVert. Ingram also has better FG% and 3 PT%. Ingram is also 3 years younger than LeVert. Kuzma and Allen are about equal very different players/positions. Ball could be traded to a third team for a pick. Also I guess you haven't seen Ingram play lately?
