He is gone.
Since he is here this semi-scrub somewhat outplayed our praised guards with his efficiency and effort despite the clear lack of talent. Someone is going to show him the money. |

Still kickin' on the way out, huh? If Ennis had played like how he did in the last 2 weeks, he wouldn't be on his 4th nba team. There's a reason why DLo/JC are seen in a much better light than Ennis. He's had many chances and good for him, he played well for 2-3 weeks b/f he hits UFA. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

I think it would be in his best interest to stay with the Lakers. A new team may offer a little more money but he could end up in another "Houston situation."
At least here he has an idea where he stands in LA. |

Well, depends on the draft and FA.
if we draft Fultz/Ball, likely pushes JC back to "PG" on the bench. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

honestly, it'd be better to push JC back to SG on the bench and let Ennis be the bench PG. That'd take away some of JC's tendency to use the entire possession without ever passing - and since Ennis is kind of a pass first PG, it'd probably get the ball to other people in better positions to score than JC does _________________ LBJ + AD = More rings

It depends on that little more money and the length. He has not gotten any contract yet since his rookie scale, so if team offered 3 mil in 3 years, he's a goner. |

Came off as really positive in the exit interview and said he'll attack the summer workouts. I wonder if he plays in the summer league? At 22, it's not a far cry to say he'll be a better player next season. I'm guessing he stays... at least until they find someone better (either through the draft or free agency). Also loved the chemistry Ennis, Nance, Ingram developed during the last stretch of the season. Felt like something that was next to non-existent last year.
And Luke winning with guys Ennis, Nwaba, Brewer, TRob, Black is some Dave Joerger Memphis Grizzles (bleep). Going all in on defensive line-ups is how the Grizzles survived w/ so many injuries last season. |

Ennis fits what Luke wants to do, provided he continues to be able to hit the three. He's a smart player who will shoot, attack, or pass, and when he attacks, has good vision. He's like a lower impact dlo in that he's sneaky skillful while not being overtly athletic. _________________ “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.

We need to keep Ennis for when we eventually trade JC. If we can get even 75% of the production of JC for only a fraction of JC's contract, you have to do it. Even if it's a gamble, it wouldn't be an expensive one. If $3M is what it takes to keep him, I'd do it.
People were ecstatic over signing JC to a $12.5M per year contract as if it was some bargain. I didn't agree then and now after a full season I feel more strongly about it. It's more in the "fair to slight overpay" range. Ennis is even 2 years younger than JC. The fanbase seems to be penny wise, pound foolish.
If FO wants to be aggressive, I think JC and Randle should be moved this summer. They both have value but Randle will not be worth what he is due to get. Ennis will be a nice backup. It seems he has found the right fit for his game to flourish. |

I tend to agree. I think Clarkson is a borderline starter and Rsndle may be a future near star or star, but they don't fit stylistically. _________________ “We must always take sides.

I see him taking 5 mil for 2 years with the Lakers, with the 2nd year a player option. |

Agree. I think JC is pretty close to his ceiling. He's a serviceable player, just a bit too ball dominant for what we're trying to run. His porous defense is what prevents him from being a starter in this league. It's a similar situation to Monta Ellis in Golden State. Got a 2nd round steal, but I think time to move on. Ennis can step into JC's role right away, at a much cheaper contract and 2 years younger. |

He'd get a raise from about $1.6M per year to $2.5M per year with the option to opt out for more if he outperforms. Sounds like a good opportunity for him on a make-good contract. Would work for both sides. If we get Westbrook then we can just let him walk. |

Ennis didn't earn a big contract for playing 20 games. He will be back next year. |

If we can get Livingston or Deron Williams on a decent contract then there is no point bringing Ennis back unless he wants to be the 3rd string. |

Livingston... yes, much better than Ennis
Deron, I'm not sure, I think Ennis might have a chance to be better than current Deron (he's 22) |

I rather stick to the youth movement and go with Ennis over those guys. |

Livingston will be 32 when next season starts. Don't really see the point of signing him for the bench. He's the kind of player you'd love to add when you have a championship core in place. Ennis is a decade younger and a better shooter. |

31 games with Houston: 37.5%
22 games with L.A.: 39%
season average: 38.6%
Both teams spread the floor, so I think it's safe to look at the entire season average as an indicator. He seemed to pick up our offense pretty quickly, so I think he can definitely keep it in the high 30's as he learns our sets even better. |

JC is a much better player than Ennis, and his contract is still considered a value around the league.....that is why so many teams call about him. I think Ennis has played well, and I am not opposed to moving Clarkson if it improves the team, but I am not moving Clarkson because I feel Tyler Ennis can fill his shoes....because at this point, he simply can't. |

The best argument for Ennis is his comps as a backup PG....his per 36 numbers with the Lakers are very similar to Patty Mills who is considered a very good backup. |
