I like it. A lot less money than I thought we'd give him after that horrible Mozgov deal.

Excellent deal, only disappointment is not getting that 5th year from a Lakers perspective.

**** yes. He really wanted to stay in LA. I guess we can thank the kardashian influence for once?

The best bargain contract given out during this crazy FA period. I would much rather have a young & improving Clarkson at 4/50 then that potentially crazy 5/139 contract Derozan is getting from Toronto.

I thought he was gonna get 18M a year after Mozgov deal, I like it. Now I want Bazemore and Meyers and some vet minimums.

That is way more reasonable than I expected. He's got his flaws, but I'm glad to see him stick around. Might as well keep the youngins playing together to develop that chemistry even more. Now to work on that passing...

Great news IMO. I like Clarkson, and was worried he was gonna try and go elsewhere.
Finally something to feel good about tonight. Prob a good time to call it.

damn so reasonable considering the mozgov deal
also i'm gonna my own horn a bit:
Dr Aki wrote:in my opinion, anything >10-12 mil per, 50% more than lou's deal
and that's because he's only 24 alongside the rising cap
we talking about a career MLE player here

Well that's a bit of relief. Happy for JC. Apparently about 8 mil off his max. Now the Lakers only need to get about 56mil more in discounts on other players to make up for that other contract they just signed.

When you look at what Mozgov just got, it a great signing.
But if his potential max was 58, is it still that Great since he is nowhere near a max player ?

I wonder if he signed before he knew about Mozgov....
Really good deal. 12.5m average for a 24 year old...good deal.

Projection...they will and many will be optimistic that he will still improve greatly.
