Bos: #4 Ingram 2021 Lakers 1st Pels : Tatum Who says no, other than maybe Boston


If Im the pelicans I say hell no. Ingram performed better than tatum did last year before being sidelined. I still think tatum is the better overall player but then you are going to add in number 4 and a 2021 1st. Thats a no for me.

We need to do nothing with the pick accept hold it. Garland is the real deal and he is that scoring/shooting combo guard we have been wanting so bad.

If Boston wants to swap Ingram and 4 for Tatum, I’d need 3 future firsts to even enter into negotiations.

After the shite they pulled with the AD trade, I’m fine making them pay an ‘Ainge tax’ and asking for 2 seconds on top of the 3 firsts.

Hell, if we were offered 8 and 10 for 4, those are probably better picks than we’d get from Boston, and it’s debatable whether Ingram or Tatum is the better player.

If they’re so enamored with 4 that they’d deal Tatum for it (they wouldn’t do that for AD), then I have to ask myself why they want the pick so bad.

Maybe we should hold on to it. If they want it bad enough, they can pony up for it.
