Yup. Even Jones should be higher.

Then you have Lonzo/Ingram but obviously too early.

It doesn't fit with the 2 max scenario, so if we do that then we have to move him. But that doesn't suddenly make his contract bad, imo

Here's to hoping our entire team plays excellent next year and we don't need to move anyone after all


FWIW, here were the NBA 6th men votes for last year (JC didn't get a vote). He makes about the same or more than the bolded.

Gordon, Eric (Hou.)
Iguodala, Andre (G.S.)
Williams, Lou (Hou.)
Randolph, Zach (Mem.)
Johnson, James (Mia.)
Monroe, Greg (Mil.)
Crawford, Jamal (LA-C)
Kanter, Enes (OKC.)
Mills, Patty (S.A.)
Hardaway Jr., Tim (Atl.)
Carter, Vince (Mem.)
Johnson, Tyler (Mia.)
Brogdon, Malcolm (Mil.)

I don't think JC's contract is a terrible one. But i'm not convinced it's a great deal either. It is moveable if necessary, but just hate how our 2018 plans are so transparent. I'm hoping teams don't make us pay an extra premium to get cap space.


I look at that list and go right to the top. Clarkson and Gordon are comparable in stats, on court production and salary. . The only area that Gordon pulls away is 3pt%. An area Clarkson needs to improve.

I remain optimistic that Clarkson can and will improve. From comments, it seems like he is embracing the sixth man role. Can see him doing well in this year's voting. It will depend on his mpg and attempts. A little defense would be nice too!

Going to be interesting to see how his role looks this season. First guard off the bench seems reasonable. Prefer he proves his value and makes thoughts of trading him less desirable. Or at the very least a nice 1st rd pick value.

And for the first three games that Pope is suspended I see Clarkson starting.

Luke has refused to start JC in those situations. I think he wants to keep his whole unit approach (which i'm not a fan of).

Clarkson embraces Hollywood glitz but stays grounded


“It’s been a tough three years. We’ve been losing a lot,” Jordan said. “We’ve been trying to get out of that.”

Kind of unfair to compare JC to 6th man candidates. I mean, is there even one 6th man on a lottery team on that list?

That's the fair comparison. The Lakers want and believe he can be a 6MOY level player this year and at his price, it is a fair comparison.

Also, they probably want him to win it because it would be a nice leveraging tool in trade talks next summer. You can't tell me that's part of the reason too.

If he has a good first few months, he'll be moved at the deadline. Players like JC are more a luxury for teams that are in the playoffs.

Clarkson getting some love

10th is not bad considering his draft position.


As much as I like JC, it's a hell of an exaggeration. Not considering Lonzo, Ingram and Russell, they left out: Julius Randle, Nick van Exel, Eddie Jones, Vlade Divac, AC Green, Elden Campbell, Michael Cooper, Norm Nixon e surely some older guys I don't know.

Steve Nash was said to be at the facility working out with Lonzo. I hope to God that JC crashed that party

Same. the best JC ever looked was when he was working closely with Nash in his rookie year. Best blend of passing/scoring. Maybe it was the fact that he was our only ball-handler and knew he was going to get 30 plus minutes a night, but you could see the nash influence in him (rarely picked up his dribble, particularly in the paint) and the headiness. Since then, he mostly looks like a chicken with its head cut off

Can you imagine if JC/DLO/Lonzo had Nash's tutelage? Sad that we couldn't keep Nash in that respect. He's a PG whisperer.

I just hope he doesn't suffer a serious injury. About the only thing that can derail the Lebron train, IMO, is if they can't clear enough salary, and he's the best target, atm. The most prudent action would be to trade him before he can step on the floor again.

Haha my reply is a month late, sorry.

What I meant was, 6MOY candidates are on winning teams. We are not a winning team.

So the comparison with 1GOB (1st Guy Off Bench) for losing teams would be ... fairer.

That's why I asked if there has ever been a 6th man of the year recipient on a lottery team. Maybe there is, but, it's probably a rarity if ever at all.
