The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly willing to send Brandon Ingram to the San Antonio Spurs for Kawhi Leonard as part of their Godfather offer.
This news comes by way of ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, who also notes a future first-round selection is in the mix.
From Woj's ESPN report:
The Lakers are willing to include former No. 2 overall 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 Lakers young players and future picks, league sources said.
Earlier on Thursday, it was reported that the Spurs were done with Kawhi Leonard and willing to trade him.
Since then, the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers have emerged as the two most likely to land the dynamic forward, though the former of the pairing is said to be less into the idea of giving up all that much to land the disgruntled Spurs star.
With free agency looming, when LeBron James' fate still up in the air, if the Lakers want to land The King, they will likely have to land Kawhi Leonard and/or Paul George first. George, it is worth noting, is opting out of his deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Welcome to the NBA offseason, friends. The best offseason of all the sports.
