Depending on who you believe the Lakers are ready to trade everybody or nobody.
One piece the Spurs want is Brandon Ingram and it doesn’t appear that is a problem, but alas that isn’t going to be enough to get the deal done.
The Lakers are motivated to make a deal for Leonard on several fronts, including the potential boost it would give them in luring James to Los Angeles. Leonard wants a trade to the Lakers now, and he has expressed his desire to sign with them in free agency in 2019.
The Lakers are willing to include former No. 2 pick Brandon Ingram and a future first-round pick in a package for Leonard, but the Spurs are seeking a far more complete haul of young Lakers players and future picks, league sources said.
It is probably going to take at least one more young player to get the deal done, so stay tuned.
