High expectations were set for Los Angeles Lakers top 2 overall rookie draft pick, Brandon Ingram, but his future with the illustrious ball club is already unknown just three games in the young season of the NBA.
The latest NBA trade rumors and possible big moves involve a three-team trade highlighting the Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers and the Phoenix Suns. All three teams have revamped their roster and are looking to strengthen it as the season is going on.
Reports said that the purple and gold Los Angeles Lakers are willing to send their rookie pick, Brandon Ingram to the Philadelphia 76er, in exchange for their current shooting center, Nerlens Noel. These speculations came out after the disappointing performance of Ingram during the pre-season up until the NBA season started. It is said that the Ingram has failed to step into the plate with the young core of the Los Angeles Lakers like point guard, D'Angelo Russell, shooting guard, Jordan Clarkson and power forward Julius Randle.
Fans are waiting to see when Brandon Ingram will erupt as he is known to be a defensive specialist and a prolific scorer. The Los Angeles Lakers have been in the rebuilding stage after future hall of famer, Kobe Bryant, retired last season. Current head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, Luke Walton is looking to put depth in their team roster by bringing in talented young players with a mix of veteran players also.
If these rumors are true, this three-team trade will have its own positive outcome as all teams are aiming for a possible post-season spot during the playoffs. If Nerlens Noel ends up with the Lakers, he will help support the offensive strategy of the team. Brandon Ingram will also provide excitement and hype for the Philadelphia 76ers as they build their own core team with Joel Embiid and Jahlil Okafor.
Few stories also came out with Brandon Ingram moving to the 76ers for top 1 overall rookie draft pick, Ben Simmons who has been out due to injury. This three-team deal will then send Nerlens Noel to the Phoenix Suns.
No team has given any official statement on the rumored trade situation. Fans will have to wait and see what the future holds for some of the best young players in the NBA league.
