The Los Angeles Lakers are expected to have to offer several players up in potential trades, but one player they have not put on the block yet is Brandon Ingram, according to a report.
The Los Angeles Times’ Tania Ganguli reported on Thursday that the purple and gold have not included Ingram in any deals to this point.
A small update on where things stand with the Lakers and trade talks. A league source tells me that so far the Lakers haven't offered Brandon Ingram in any deals.

This runs contrary to what ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported, as he said the Lakers have offered Ingram for Kawhi Leonard.
The Lakers are making efforts to try and acquire Kawhi from the Spurs. They have just about enough salary cap space to sign both LeBron James and Paul George at the salaries they earned last season. But if they want to entice San Antonio to trade Kawhi, they would probably need to offer some of their best young assets such as Ingram and Kyle Kuzma. They either have or have not offered Ingram, depending on whom you believe.
