Jason Terry comes to mind. Even Jordan Farmar. JC is a pretty good 6th man. If we had a better starting 5 then we'd be able to keep him on a much shorter leash. As it stands, he's one of our best players and we just have to let it ride when he's playing boneheaded basketball. |
How about Vinnie Johnson from Detroit. How about Manu Ginobli from Spurs. How about Lamar Odom from Lakers. Remember Lamar's bonehead play where he just inbounded the ball without passing it. That's the pure definition of bonehead. |

If boneheaded plays means turnovers, then I guess Westbrook gets the crown...He had 7 yesterday. PG had 4. JR had 4. BI had 3. JC had 3. |

In fairness, his TO% is lower partly because he shoots a lot. And in fact I would argue most of his 'boneheaded mistakes' are him shooting bad shots, not necessarily turning the ball over. But he's played well this season overall for sure, boneheaded mistakes or not. |

WOW, Manu Ginobili and Lamar Odom ? Really ? If Clarkson was half as good as them, there wouldn't be any discussion if we should keep him. Clarkson can score, with average efficiency, that's it... |

I was surprised JC did so poorly protecting the possession in the last couple minutes. We don't really have anyone who is good at that. Maybe Lonzo? |

Jordan Clarkson leads the NBA with 274 points off the bench since Jan. 1, just ahead of the Clippers' Lou Williams (270) over that span, according to NBA Advanced Stats. Over the season, only Williams (813) has more bench points than Clarkson (732). |

JC gets a chance to showcase himself on a winning team. But if LBJ leaves, that Clev. winter is going to be a long one.
Best of luck to JC! _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

In fairness I knew JC was getting traded for months so I already braced myself. JC was pretty good this season so I can't be too harsh on him. But he wanted a trade for good for him haha |

Clarkson has done well for himself as a second round pick and he singlehandedly won them some games this year and in previous years but I think we can be more honest about him now that he isn't on the team anymore. His instant offense style is more suited for defensive teams that need a scoring punch and the finished product that the Lakers are envisioning won't need that. |

Clarkson has gotten a lot of unfair hate from a lot of people on LG. Was a good player with up and downs. I'll definitely miss him. Best of luck, just don't play good against the lakers or I will automatically dislike _________________ Kobe |

Wish JC the best. He provided much needed excitement for us in 2015, and showed improvement this year, despite some regression in the past two. He could be frustrating to watch at times, but he possesses natural bball skill which has been rarity on this roster for the past years. Hope he does well in CLE. |

I always thought JC got way too much hate. For a 2nd round pick, couldn't ask for much more. It'll be interesting to see how he does on a contending team and in the Playoffs since he hasn't really experienced any of that yet in the NBA. I'll definitely be watching him while on the Cavs. |

Best of luck JC. You and Larry are still on the same team, and that'll help lighten up any locker room. |
