I predict his career trajectory will be similar to Demar Derozan at best. Naturally, you'll take that as an insult, but it isn't, considering that means he may even make a couple All-Star games. _________________ "Chick lived and breathed Lakers basketball…but he was also fair and objective and called every game the way it was played."

I'm a fan of the Lakers not one particular player. I hear criticism of all the players, but Clarkson name is always involved in trades even though he's a RFA.
Most teams realize that JC is an asset to the Lakers that would be matched under the Arenas provision.
i don't know man, it's like Barnes, some team will gamble (maybe even us). JC is an even cheaper gamble
And he's a less proven player who hasn't played in the playoffs. Plus Barnes is a traditional RFA and if the Warriors get KD, may actually be attainable (though if we draft Ingram I don't see why we break the bank for a SF).
I think Ingram will be able to play anywhere between 2 and 4 once he reaches his prime. I think the Lakers should go after the best wing (2 or 3) and be willing to pay a lot for it whether its Batum, Barnes, Derozan etc. All 3 of those guys would be fine playing next to Ingram. I actually see the 2 as the spot Ingram will be best fit to defend next year. He moves and plays like a guard but happens to be 6'10.

DeRozan with 3pt range would be a great career for Clarkson. Although, I believe Clarkson's IQ is much higher. He doesn't settle for long contested mid range shots over again like DeRozan.
What are u guys expecting JC to get in terms of next contract? Perhaps lakers will only offer him the max he can get from other teams? I think it is like 5mil for first 2 years and like 20+ for last 2 years. I'm hoping we can get him for a smooth 10/mil year for 5 years. Is that possible?

So? Just means those people have a different opinion of him then you do. No reason to criticize them, or this forum, for it. Unlike many non-Laker fans on other websites, at least they recognize he has value as an asset. The fact that it bothers you is evidence in and of itself of how pro-Clarkson you are... which is fine. Be a super fan. That's your right. Just don't cross the line by criticizing people or this forum for not valuing Clarkson the same way you do. _________________ LakersGround's Terms of Service
None of our young guys are untouchable level. They will be talked in trade scenario discussion... it is an internet Lakers forum!!!
I think the reason JC is the most talked in trade scenario is because he is the oldest out of the 3 (nance excluded) and we've had 2 yrs to evaluate him. Doesn't mean I don't like JC
I don't understand all the fascination with Clarkson. I'm not really a fan.
If he works hard, he might become a very poor man's version of JR Smith. Fortunately for him, in the new NBA it's not expected for guards to play defense anymore. As long as he can run and jump, Clarkson will find a home. It just won't be as a Laker. _________________ “There are no limits.

To be fair, other team fan bases are huge fans of Clarkson. In nearly every QFTOS we had the fans said they wanted to get Clarkson in the offseason _________________ Kobe
Clarkson is a guy like Jamal Crawford. I don't see what's wrong with being a 6th man of the year on a good team. Not everyone is destined for stardom. Putting up 18-4-4 on efficient fg % with low turnovers is where I see Clarkson being at which is damn good.
It's a shame that we don't have JC under contract for one more year so that we could see how he performs under the direction of Luke as well as playing with the adjusted roster this coming season. I think he shows a lot of promise. But, with all of the fallout from having Scott as the coach during his first 2 seasons, it's difficult to understand how good he actually is and what level of potential he is expected to realize.
The comparison to Jamal Crawford seems relatively accurate - assuming his 3ball becomes more consistent. But, I hope he is a far better defender than Crawford going forward.

JC won't cost us that much to re-sign, not enough to affect our cap space. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023.

Why is this such a bad thing? Here are some notable 6th men on championship contenders:
Manu Ginobili
Lamar Odom
Kevin McHale
Bill Walton
Are we undervaluing Clarkson? _________________ LeBron, AD, & _________. Stay tuned.

No one would want Clarkson to be a star more than me, but he isn't. I do not know how else to explain it. _________________ Because we're better than you!
I like clarkson on this squad, has a bit of chip on his shoulder, seems to get along with all the players. I actually feel on this board his name doesn't come up much in regards to trade. Out of our young guys I think Randle is the one most people talk about potentially moving. One of things I like about JC is how his game meshes with D lo, he attacks in a totally different way than d lo so it really gives our attack from the guard spot some different looks and I like that the two of them can switch between the guard spots.
I think if we get Ingram all the young pieces stay in place and the FO gives Luke a chance to see what he could do with them

Yes, Clarkson and Dlo together give you a lot of options with their respective skill sets. _________________ LeBron, AD, & _________. Stay tuned.

Their games mesh offensively. Defensively they are a terrible duo.
