Good to have insurance for when we offload Clarkson.

Someone tell me how I should feel about this.... I got nothing.

He has shown the ability to play within a Lonzo oriented system

I like the phrase "Lonzo oriented system".

I hope Luke for ones analysis his players and play them to their strength rather than forcing them to play in some strict system.

He can shoot. Doesn't pass, doesn't play defense.

My reaction is "whyyyyyyyy?"

Could have gone with Briante Weber, a defensively capable guard which is a need but the Lakers are sentimental to a fault and Blue has been hanging around the g-league since forever.

MVP of the G-League, he has earned a spot. Welcome back Blue. I love his ability to attack the basket in fast break.

I hated him in the early games of summer league, but once the team started clicking he grew a little on me, but not enough to sign him up. It’s like having a poor mans Clarkson as a redundant back up to Clarkson

He's an NBA player but not a good fit on our team. If he's there to take away Clarkson's minutes at the end of the year when he is traded, I'm good with the signing.
