Since the Lakers signed one of the best players in the NBA in LeBron James, experts like Stephen A. Smith and hardcore Lakers fans alike have told us they will make the Western Conference Finals. I just laughed. They have started the season 4-6 and sit 5 ½ games out of first place, and everyone [...]

LeBron James is so excited to get Brandon Ingram back from his four-game suspension that he compared him to Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Durant. True story. Here’s what LeBron said of Ingram’s return, per Mike Trudell of Lakers.com (h/t Silver Screen & Roll’s Anthony Irwin): “There’s not that many guys with that length. You look [...]

Brandon Ingram received a four-game suspension from the NBA for his role in the dustup that took place between the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Lakers. He counts himself lucky for not incurring a longer exile. As he told reporters, per Lakers Nation’s Anthony Irwin: “It’s my full responsibility,” Ingram told reporters. “I’m the one [...]

The Los Angeles Lakers have been on a roll. They have gone 17-9 in their past 26 games and have a top 10 offense and defense in that time. They are quietly giving a glimpse into what the future can be with their core of Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram and Kyle Kuzma with a little [...]

Brandon Ingram has been good lately. How good, you ask? So good, he has certain people around the NBA believing he’ll be better than Rookie of the Year favorite Ben Simmons. From The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor (h/t Lakers Nation): Brandon Ingram is rolling. A few execs told me at @SloanSportsConf they think Ingram will end [...]

Brandon Ingram has become a fairly divisive player in NBA circles. Some think he’ll eventually be a superstar or occasional All-Star. They think he sees the floor well with the ball in his hands, tries super hard to make the right reads out of the pick-and-roll and that he’ll inevitably develop into a more efficient [...]

Magic Johnson really likes Brandon Ingram. As the Los Angeles Lakers team president told ESPN Los Angeles, per USA Today‘s A.J. Neuharth-Keusch: “I would say probably the only player that we would say, ‘Hey’ — that we would probably not move — is Brandon Ingram,” Johnson told ESPN Los Angeles on Thursday. “I think that we’re excited [...]

Brandon Ingram’s rookie season hasn’t been spectacular. He’s shooting under 30 percent from deep, and his free-throw percentage sits under 65. He plays hard on defense, but his reads can be off, and he’s not yet strong enough to defend power forwards. Naturally, this creates some division within the basketball ranks about his future in [...]

Brandon Ingram is 19 years old, but the Los Angeles Lakers are pushing the rookie to carry himself like he’s 29. Head coach Luke Walton has been impressed with the newbie’s consistently gritty efforts. Many of the numbers won’t support it, but Ingram is already good. Though his three-point touch—and perhaps the speed of his release—need some [...]

No wonder DeMarcus Cousins isn’t member of the Los Angeles Lakers. The Sacramento Kings were asking for too much. That’s not the vibe you get from the package they ultimately accepted from the New Orleans Pelicans—Buddy Hield, a top-three protected first-round in this year’s draft, the Philadelphia 76ers’ second-round pick, Langston Galloway and Tyreke Evans.
