They look happy and I'm happy for them. Hope they can find their way back to LA someday. Clarkson has Clippers written all over him. Nance. I want Nance a Laker again someday. |

Gotta tell you, Larry Nance JR with Jordan Clarkson on the floor together with @KingJames, JR & Jeff Green looked fantastic. Bottom line: over last two games Coach Ty Lue has done a fantastic job and LEBRON has been nothing short of sensational. Here’s the downside: East is Over! |

Said it on pod today -- at very least, Cavs make sense on offense again. Larry Nance Jr on a good team is just loads of fun. His PNR chemistry w/ Clarkson has really helped their transition. |

I love LNJ so much
Said it since his rookie year, this is the kind of guy that wins championships. He doesn't play a huge role, but he's hugely effective in the role he does play. I'll miss him. Would have loved to keep LNJ and not get the Cavs pick but who knows if that was ever on the table. |

Not to mention 3 blocks for Nance. I think Cleveland is a perfect place for him. Always felt he would be at his best on a good team. No ego.
Also happy for Clarkson. He, and Lou both got bad raps here for doing we what they were asked to do: score the basketball. |

Honestly everytime I see Larry's name my heart sinks a little. He was my favorite Laker since he was drafted. I'm just glad he gets to be with his family and live his dream. I really thought he was going to be a Laker for life. |

I'll say this till I'm blue in the face or till they move this thread. I'm happy for them but I'll miss those two Lakers. Hope they can win a championship. I don't care if that means we lose Lebron. That dude is the best player in the NBA, but I'm not gonna root against Nance & Clarkson. They were really good Lakers. #8 & #24. |

As long as we use that cap space, we'll be good. Wouldn't put it past this scouting team to get another steal with that Cavs pick, too. |

Hope you have your tissue box ready. I'm sure I'll have more. Sigh... Can't wait to see their official tribute videos when the Cavs come to town. |

Yea, hurts right now, but we're playing the long game.
I'll also say, for those of you getting sad watching Clarkson and Nance playing well on another team next to established/steady vets, this is only a taste of despair you will feel if we have to go through the same thing with Randle. _________________ LakersGround's Terms of Service

This
We had the Dude he showed flash and he also showed some bone head moves. Now he is on a Team with two super stars and solid role players. He knows his role and it's EZ for him to play it.
Wait til we get a Super star and watch what our players do.
Some of you are cracking me up gushing over those dudes. They will be missed, but it's like the girlfriend you broke up with because you didn't have the strong feelings for her. Now you see her in a new red dress with a dude you don't like. And you all are Thirsty!

More Onions. Nance & Clarkson. 2 highlights from ESPN. One on defense, one on offense. I was sad to see DLO go, but I don't miss him. I miss these dudes though...

Good luck to them and their quest for greatness! |

Cavs fans already love him They want him to start over Tristan Thompson. |

That was a nice pass. I was in the minority, but I liked Clarkson's rookie season so much that I questioned why they drafted D'Lo. Don't get me wrong, I liked D'Lo but I thought that Clarkson could develop into a nice player and should have been our future at PG. He wasn't really asked to be a playmaker here because we needed his scoring. Now we have to see (most likely) his complete game in Cleveland. He's gonna learn so much from LBJ.
And screw the national media for crapping on Laker players while they wear P&G, but prop them up when they leave. SMH |

JC and Nance just what the CAVs needed - Instant offense and a guy a works on the boards and plays D. I watch the Thunder/CAVs games, those two are part of the reason why they won. Nance was cleaning the boards and JC knocking down shots... I want them back!!!! I feel like a GF who made the hasty decision to break up with her BF and now he is with another girl _________________ New Beginings |

They look hungry too. JC has that energy in his step and bounce on his midrange jumper that he had his rookie year. Must have been hard for him to get amped for games with his situation coupled with our bad squad |
