Happy For Clarkson that he gets to Showcase his Skills.

Nance is a great guy. thought he would be here for longer with the Lakers. kind of like an Athletic Kurt Rambis. Dude dunked on Kevin Durant. he's a great player to have for your fans to watch. He enjoyed being in L.A. seems crazy. all those Kobe guys are gone. and I thought they would all be here helping the Lakers win Russell Clarkson Nance.

Should we be concerned that both players seem to be very happy in Cleveland? We know that JC wanted out and he seems to have captured a second breath in Cleveland. Maybe tanking for years really is a corrosive practice.

That's not why we should be concerned... Being on a team like Cleveland makes role-players look great because they're not asked to do a whole lot and when they do contribute, it seems to have more impact. JC was asked to carry the scoring load in LA along with being a defensive leader. Nance was supposed to be a lock-down defender/hustle guy and we wanted him to score from all over the court too... We made him a starter...
In Cleveland, they can just be the efficient role players they are and not have to try to be more than they are. We got them in terrific shape, Luke taught them how to be active on D and pick their spots on Offense, now they can do that with no pressure in Clev.

Our concern should be about how bad the trade effected the locker room in LA... Because we looked like an engaged team, who were all on the same page leading up to the trade... No we look like we don't even want to play together...
It's such a drastic change, I don't think I've ever seen anything like it... I guess it has to do with how young we are...

Thank you JC and Larry

One forgotten portion of the trade was now it also dead bolted the door on a Houston trade for LeBron.

With all that extra long term money on the books, Cleveland will be looking for even fewer returning money to avoid the luxury tax if they were even willing to facilitate a trade to Houston, who would 99% be forced to include Anderson and Tucker (huge dead money) in any such trade

I hope JC returns soon. Sad to see them both go.
