    Given the choice, don't you think they'd prefer Clarkson as a super-sub behind two all-stars?

    Ha Oops.
    He is notoriously "thrifty" with his money though, so you are probably right.

    Tough choice. Everyone seems really high on Clarkson and I can see why. The way Russell has started out maybe he is the sub. Clarkson can play both spots as well.

    You are probably right.

    Yeah, I've heard that too. Of course, I haven't watched enough (any) Laker ball to form an opinion of him, so I have no idea if he's actually any good, or if he just looked good amongst scrubs.

    He is pretty solid. Played very well last year. Good all around game.

    it simple guy. get Harrison Barnes. he can a lot of things on the court including post up, shoot 3's, attack the rim, plays really good defense. his per 36- is 12.8 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.3 steals, .4 blocks and he shoots 40% 3's. i think with a bigger roles his numbers would way better. plus he fits the age.

    FWIW ........It is not simple according to Mychal Thompson. He may not be in the "know", but I heard him telling Laker fans that Barnes is not going anywhere. GS loves the kid, on and off the court, and they want to lock him up long term along with Klay, Green, and Curry.

    then they would probably max out barnes, klay, green, and Curry if they wants to keep that core but i doubt it because they don't have that much money

    They have a rich owner, and the cap is going way up. I hope you are right, but if they really do like him, they will keep him.

    Brandon Ingram will be the best wing player out of next year's draft. Id love to draft him

    There is someone in the Draft that reminds me a bit of Drexler. I watched as much of him as possible back when he was with the Houston Cougars and his game then reminds me a bit of OG Anunoby now. Drexler was the more athletic but OG can fly as well. OG shoots it a little better and is a little better on the defensive end. Drexler was the better passer and both were 'big' for being a SG. OG is listed as a SF but I'd like to see him at SG in the NBA as he can guard many spots from there and would have a size advantage.

    Yeh, I like this guy; what's not to like about a SF who shoots 70% from the two?
