Ball Kuzma and Hart, the 2020 first-round pick, put Ingram on the shelf.

At that time, Kuzma helped the Lakers win the No. 4 pick in the draft during the offseason. The situation changed a lot. I thought the Lakers’ first-round pick was unattractive, but suddenly it changed. As a No. 4 pick, the situation would be different. The Lakers, Pelicans and Wizards completed a three-way deal. The Lakers sent Lonzo Ball, Josh Hart, Brandon Ingram, and this year’s No. 4 pick (eventually DeAndre Hunter). Along with two first-round picks, a first-round pick swap and some cash, several players were also sent to the Wizards, and the Wizards would compensate the Pelicans with some cash.
