I want clarkson to develop at point not 2guard. lin needs the ball in his hands, and swaggy p is a ball hog so he stays as 6th man. Ellington is what he is. just a spot up shooter with decent bball iq

Lin will not be here next season either, Lakers news is all about finding a starting PG, that's not Lin.

Price will start, so don't bend around that. I'd love to see Clarkson back up Price and develop his PG skills while settling, he could be part of the future.

The obvious move would be to let Young start, Ellington off the bench...

Lakers have to win every game to grab that 8th spot , and even with a 39 game win streak at this point might get edged out by the Thunder.So.....

Ellington/Price...Why? Play Clarkson and Kelly more, as they are viable options as back ups in the future, give them burn and really see what we have with them.

Trade Hill for a late first/early 2nd, get something for him while you can.

Play Black when Available. As he and Davis can be a solid back up core to the future starters Randle and I hope the new draft pick/or FA big.....

I propose that we work with the following structure:

PG - Lin (26) / Clarkson (22)
SG - Young (29) / Ellington (27)
C - Hill (27) / Sacre (25)
SF - Davis (25) / Johnson (27)
PF - Black (23) / Kelly (23) / Randle (20)

(If randle is back, I think we should try Black at C instead of Sacre)

But what I really like to see is a whole team of young ones do run and gun at the other teams.....

You have to see writing on the wall; Lakers are looking for a starting PG, they won't have money for a starter and Lin. this is why I'd invest in Clarkson. jC is young, cheap, could be developed as a backup and potentially become a starter.

Today JC is a SG but there are to many athletic tall SG's and probably more on the way. The best bet for him is to be a tall PG, he could excell there in time...

a PG to pass it to whom? the Lakers say they were willing to trade Jordan Hill. now you need a big man. Kobe is retiring whether it's end of this year or next. they need a SG. they have to make a decision on Johnson but they do have Young. still got to look at SF if they let Johnson go. they have Randle but he's basically a rookie next year and he is paired with Kelly. talk about unknowns.

so,

C: Hill goes, they need a starting center
PF: Randle takes time to learn the ropes, they need a starting PF
SF: Johnson goes and Young too much ISO, they need a starting SF
SG: Kobe retires, they need a starting SG
PG: No one really on contract and you're betting on Clarkson? Need starting PG.

So yapping about Lakers finding a starting PG is futile. They need a starter at every position.

Clarkson
Ellington
Wes
Kelly
Black

Total youth movement

I'm "yapping" about the entire team. It's beyond obvious Lakers need a Starting PG, SF & Center, potentially a SG.

But the headlines are about
Kobe after Rondo, the FO looking at ?Dragic, Butler & Monroe...so I'm yapping about it all, FYI.

yeah, time to chuck this season and tank for the next 20 some odd games with The Head of the Snake playing 30+ minutes. After that the rookies can close out the season. Trade Jordan Hill and Nash's contract for whatever youth they will bring. If somebody will give us something for Ed Davis, why not? He's easily replaceable too. Same w/Wes Johnson. If somebody offers a 2nd round pick in 2025 TAKE IT, the dude isn't even worth that.

Lin won't be here next year, trade him if you can. Ellington needs to shave his head, he looks a lot older than he is. If he shaves his head, he can stay... Ryan Kelly and Clarkson can stay and Swaggy will be staying. Maybe Tarik Black?

Boozer? Boozer's contract expires after the season - Chicago is paying most of it, I think. He might be worth keeping around at a greatly reduced rate - to help Julius Randle develop.

Besides that, Mitch... GO FIND SOME BODIES, some NBA bodies, not DLeague bodies... hopefully a few of them will be more elite? not just physically but mentally... ahem! Wes Johnson...
