Recent NBA trade rumors suggest that Los Angeles Lakers may enter into a three-team deal with the Phoenix Suns and the Philadelphia 76ers. It is also suggested that the Lakers are ready to trade Brandon Ingram for Nerlens Noel of 76ers.
Los Angeles Lakers are trying to rebuild their reputation and in this process, if a small trade is required, they are willing to go ahead. The new coach of the team, Luke Walton wants to give a makeover to the image of the team for the upcoming new season and for this he is trying to bring in more talented players, reports Morning Ledger. So, they have agreed to trade Brandon Ingram, their small forward player for 76ers center player, Nerlens Noel.
Notably, Ingram has not been able to make a mark in the minds of the Los Angeles Lakers' management as he is yet to prove his talents. He bagged 9 points in 27 minutes of action and has also played in a limited function. But, he needs to work hard, which should be a season or two's effort for the development of an NBA worthy body. However, he has a lot of potential that is yet to be unlocked.
Coming to Nerlens Noel, his addition to the Lakers' rooster will surely bring in excellent offensive skill set which will aid in scoring more and let the team stand out as strong contenders in the NBA league.
Reportedly, the tradeoff will benefit not just the Lakers but the 76ers will also benefit with the addition of Ingram, states the ESPN trade machine.
It has also been hinted in some reports that with the three-team deal, 76ers may also have Ben Simmons, who is a forward player, moving to Lakers. Moreover, rumors also suggest that Noel would be traded to the Suns for their point guard, Brandon Knight.
However, no official announcement has been made by the teams. So, which player and traded and by which team is yet to be seen.
