To LA: Words can’t express what it meant to me to wear the Purple and Gold. As a kid from Texas, playing for the legendary Lakers was nothing short of a dream come true. For the last four years, this city has watched me grow, LA has become my home and the incredible people here have become my family. I am proud of everything I have achieved as a player, teammate and in the community and want to say thank you for all of your support during this journey. Gonna miss ju, my brother ty, brewski, kcp all my sons jbarkley, slenderman/ ting dawg , kuz, zo, tb and the rest of my dawgs. I will always have love for LA and I will continue to show support for this community, even after I leave. Thanks Lakernation
I’ll be forever grateful for everything that the @lakers organization, the fans, and my teammates have done for me! It’s been an unbelievable experience and I couldn’t be happier with where I started this journey! Thank you guys for the past 2 1/2 years! On to THE LAND I go.. #JustAKidFromAkron

I will miss both a lot. I don't know the full details of the trade yet thus it's hard to evaluate, but Clarkson and Nance were bright spots in dark seasons.
Not super thrilled about this, even though it seems like pretty good value based on initial reports.
Really hope losing Nance means we're all in on Randle.
This is by far the most trouble I've had with saying goodbye to players in a trade. Probably because during a rebuild you root for your guys that much harder because every small victory for them is pretty much all you have all season.
Jordan is probably amongst my favorite Lakers, constantly funny, positive and looked like he loved being a Laker above all else. Plus he was a total p**sy-hound so it was hard not to love the guy. Watching him break out in his rookie season, I've said many times, was literally the only good thing about that season for me. He is what he is as a player, he'll score some for you, he's hardly Gary Payton but for a 2nd round pick he is already an absolute success story. I'll miss him dearly.
Larry has only ever been a consummate professional and he won us a game or two himself this year. He was a highlight waiting to happen and whilst I don't think he is ever gonna be much more than he is right now, he has always put forth effort and been an absolutely brilliant team guy.
Sad to see them both leave. I think we killed it in this trade and really fleeced the Cavs but I will still miss them both.
