Jordan Clarkson On The Trading Block?

[LakersSoul]

Do you guys think Clarkson could be part of a 3 team trade that lands the Lake Show Paul George?

Like...Clarkson to Pistons, Piston's #9 pick and our #28 pick (or maybe even our #2 pick) for Paul George?

I just dont think Indiana is ready to give up on PG, yet. As for the trade, I think they would expect more right now. As for us, we should wait like Luke and Magic have been saying all along. Why trade our assets for PG when that gets us nothing but a playoff game and not close enough to the Championship.

If the end goal for the Lakers is a Championship trophy, then we have to build our assets AND add All Star players through the draft and through FA. It cannot be either but has to be both drafted picks AND FA signings especially during this period of CBA. We have 2-3 year window to build and prepare then attempt to overthrow Golden State.

Lakers send the #2 pick, the #28, cash and JC for 13, JLamb and the rotting corpse of Ramon Sessions.

This is not a good dream

The downgrade from Clarkson to Lamb isnt much. Sessions can be backup or 3rd string PG and expires immediately. Lamb has only 2 years on his deal at 7 per (easily stretchable). 2nd and cash are essentially negligible cost to rich franchises, except to owners pocket books (can always buy more 2nds).

So basically u think Clarkson is legit worth more than going up 15 spots?



Ah... the continuing overrating of Jordan Clarkson, boy i dunno how you folks watch the game. I bet ya'll thought Lou shoulda netted a Mid 1st + expiring as well eh

Hey at least Lou put up way better stats on a MUCH friendlier deal, i was quite honestly pissed we had to take back the wretched 2 years left deal of Brewer for a piddling #28

He said #2 and you said 2nd (round i presume). I believe you have a miscommunication.

There you go - thanks for making sense of this.

Either JVancouver is misrepresenting me to try to take a shot at my proposed idea, by exagerating the 2nd as a #2 overall pick, or he completely misread my idea (which seems rather far fetched as how can anyone think 2nd listed at the end of a proposal be #2 overall) and then went on to wrongly try to attack my deal anyway.

Doesnt seem to be a miscommunication, just typical foolishness at Clarkson's perceived value, again.

If anyone got anything wrong its him for totally misreading things and trying to sound like a smartass at the same time.

Of course i got it wrong - "Dream trade would be Lamb + Sessions + #13 for Clarkson + #28 + 2nd + Cash." I read it as #2, becuase we have no 2nd rounder to trade and it's not anywhere near the loopiest idea posted on this bopard.

When someone pointed out how I misread it, I said, "That makes more sense"

Calm the **** down, please

Would he fit in the Jazz's system? Lots of passing and taking open shots? Would the Lakers be interested in a player like Hood?

Hood for Clarkson would be an excellent trade for both teams. Jazz could use a secondary facilitator who can drive and kick or run pick and rolls alongside Hayward if Hill becomes too expensive or be a bench scorer if Hill stays. I thought Utah would have traded their pick for Lou Williams before the deadline last year and while Clarkson is not exactly as ultra efficient as Lou, he is much younger and there is still hope for him on defense under a coach like Snyder.

Lakers on the other hand could use a guard who likes to shoot and work off the ball alongside Russell and our other ball handlers.

I was thinking more like Hood for Russell but we could probably do Hood and Diaw for Clarkson and Russell, add the OKC 1st?

Hood for Russell?
Lmao you can't be serious

Getting any mid level 1st is worth it for Clarkson. Might even be a steal. Ive soured on his game and getting out of his long term deal for a shot at another young player would be great. I dont think hes a good enough player to be the player you can attach to move Deng/Mozgov.

We should be trading Clarkson for cap space and a mid first round pick. In fact our objective next season should be to clear as much cap space as possible.

I still think we should try to attach Clarkson to Deng or Moz.

I like Clarkson/Black/Mozgov maybe throw in Houston's first for Booker/Lopez. I don't care for either Lopez or Booker, but they are expiring next year. Why does Brooklyn do this trade? Clarkson is a dynamic young guard who can score, plus they can hope for a diamond in the rough with Houstons pick. Moz and Black help reinforce their frontcourt. They aren't great, but they are solid placeholders while they rebuild.

I hate to throw away assets, but we have to shed some of these ridiculous contracts.

Bleh I don't see why we just don't trade Clarkson and the #2 or Paul George. I want to see the Lakers throw that deal out there obviously.

Because there's a very high chance George comes to us for free next off-season. Clearly you already know this. Why waste our best asset on something we have a huge chance of coming on its own?

Why have: Russell/George/Ingram/Nance/Randle
when you can have: Ball/Russell/Ingram/George/Randle

Secondly, the addition of George to this coming season doesn't do much to our overall win count. We won't be a playoff team and the majority of the fanbase agrees that he'll be determent to Ingram and Russell's development, who need more opportunity in their 2nd and 3rd year's respectively.

You gotta just face the fact that the front-office actually cares about going through a proper rebuild instead of rushing things to become a treadmill team.

Because you don't trade an asset that valuable for an expiring contract. George would probably be the first to tell you not to do that deal, the point of him coming here is playing alongside guys like Ball/Russell/Ingram.

This is not a deep draft, I could see him actually netting that Detroit pick. Huge talent drop-off after the Top 9.

I would love if he could net Frank Jackson. I see him as the perfect rookie controlled replacement for Clarkson on our roster

Filipino mamba is >>>> Frank Jackson who is pretty much Kendall Marshall imo

Frank Jackson is only Kendall Marshall in that they went to college in the same state. Kendall was much more a facilitator type than Jackson even showed a possibility of being, while Jackson showed a lot more ability to get to the rim and better scorer at any part of the floor than Marshall.

It's possible Clarkson is and remains better than Frank, but I know what Clarkson is at this point and the risk of losing him for a cheaper Jackson with potential is easily worth the risk to me.
