I am thrilled to announce my 226th Scorum Sports Cast! You can find me @thesportsguru and I will be giving you the best 5-10 minute sports rants here on Scorum every day. On today’s episode I will talk about the state of the Laker and the disappointing news about Brandon Ingram.

The young Laker player was having one hell of a stretch after the All-Star break. He put up some huge numbers and was the most consistent player on the court for the purple and gold. Brandon Ingram had been written off earlier in the season by some pundits but he was in the middle of proving them all wrong….until this weekend.

We now learn that Ingram has been shut down for the season due to a health issue. It is been reported that he will be good to go in the fall but it is still a scary situation for Ingram and the Lakers.

This scenario has me wondering, will the Lakers still offer up the combination of Ingram, Kuzma, and Ball this summer to the Pelicans? I think the failed trade from a few weeks ago was a major disaster for both teams. The Pelicans could have added 3 young players with extremely high ceilings and the Lakers could have given the superstar, Anthony Davis, to Lebron that he so desperately needs to compete in the West.

I have a feeling that both teams missed out on a great opportunity. If only the had the Fear Of Missing Out that could have led to a deal…

I would love to tell you all about it in my new Scorum Sports Cast. To check out my 226th show just click the play button below. I look forward to hearing your input and comments. Cheers!
