The Los Angeles Lakers had a tough Tuesday.
The team lost by 42 points against the Indiana Pacers. The final score was 136 to 94. In addition to that, Lakers players had to deal with the crowd bringing up the possibility that some of them might be traded for Pelicans star Anthony Davis.
While at the free throw line, Brandon Ingram was subject to taunts from people chanting "LeBron's gonna trade you."
JaVale McGee was also subject to taunts.
Speaking of trades, the Lakers have reportedly pulled out of talks with the Pelicans as they feel what the team wanted for AD was "outrageous." Los Angeles had reportedly offered New Orleans Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart, Kyle Kuzma, Ivica Zubac, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope for Davis.
"They wanted more and more and more," a source told the Los Angeles Times. "There was no more to give. They had cap-relief with Hill being in the deal. But the more they wanted the more it because outrageous and unrealistic."
The NBA trade deadline is on Feb. 7.
Speaking about the trade rumors, LeBron, who just became the fifth person to reach the impressive milestone of making 32,000 points during his NBA career, was asked how all the talk was impacting the team. "You can't really ask me," James said. "I've never really been a part of that, but I've been a part of teammates, but I know it has to be tough on a lot of our guys, especially our young guys."
If anything, it looks like Kyle Kuzma is trying not to pay too much attention to all the talk.
