Over the past week or so, the whole NBA has been caught up in the Anthony Davis trade saga.
The Los Angeles Lakers have been at the forefront of the rumors. They've offered nearly all of their available assets for his services, and yet Dell Demps hasn't budged.
These rumors have to have affected the young players involved. On Tuesday, Pacers fans at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse chanted “LeBron will trade you” whenever Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, or Kyle Kuzma touched the ball.
After the game, Ingram was asked if he was looking forward to the deadline's end. He told reporters that he doesn't care about it.
Ingram told Spectrum Sportsnet:
“Personally, I don't really care about it. Y'all put more speculation on the trade deadline than anybody else. I'm just here to play basketball. I can only control what I can control. Every time I step on the basketball floor I feel like I know what I can do. I know my worth and I know everything I can do on the basketball floor. I just let that to y'all to talk about.”
Brandon Ingram this season has shown flashes of his talent but hasn't meshed with James. He plays better as the primary ball-handler off the bench instead of off-ball with the starting unit.
This season for the Lakers Ingram has averaged 17.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 3.0 assists while shooting 48.7 percent from the field and 29.2 percent from beyond the arc.
The Lakers are now 27-27 and sit in the 10th seed of the NBA's Western Conference.
