“The [trade rumors] were tough on him,” said Josh Hart, Ingram’s teammate in both L.A. and New Orleans. “Before LeBron got there, he had been given the keys. And then people in L.A. were killing him: He’s not as good anymore. He’s not a great No 2. pick. The rumors became part of our lives, all year. Thank god I don’t have to deal with that s— anymore.”

Nets shopping Spencer Dinwiddie?

“The Nets are shopping Spencer Dinwiddie,” Spears said on ESPN’s “The Jump” on Thursday. “Despite his injury, he could be a valuable piece for a team in the future.”
Nets Daily: After shooting 54% from deep this month and better than 50% for the season, Joe Harris has moved into fourth place all-time in 3-point shooting percentage, passing Drazen Petrovic. pic.twitter.com/bFwCwOwWUj
Zach Kram: Stat of the Day #67 Joe Harris is shooting a league-best 60% on wide-open 3-pointers. Sixty percent! At least he doesn’t play with stars who draw oodles of defensive attention and give Harris open space. (Harris is also at 46% when guarded, so even that’s not stopping him.)

Victor Oladipo back on the market?

Brian Windhorst: The Houston Rockets who have lost eight in a row. There’s chatter starting to go around about whether Victor Oladipo will be back on the market.
Brian Windhorst: There was a report in the Bleacher Report over the weekend that said Kristaps Porzingis was being floated on the trade market. I have to say I’ve heard the same.

Chris Fedor: There are two things that I keep hearing. One: Cavs are under no delusion of what they’re going to get back for Andre. That’s why they weren’t worried about losing leverage. Like it’s not like they go from getting a first-round pick a high first-round pick. And now because they’ve made this decision to sit him, his value goes to like to second rounders. His value is what it is.

Brian Windhorst: The Orlando Magic possibly could be willing to part with a guy like Evan Fournier. Maybe a guy like Aaron Gordon, that is being chatted around about executives.
