    Benefit of doubt here that you didn't mean it that way. Have way too many times agreed with your takes. But in the interest of keeping it "real" here on the "trending", new, rising "STAR" LakersBall internet site.....that comment can't just go whizzing by. Doubt you meant it that way. ;) ;) As long as Kobe laces them up he will have that instinct and ferocity.

    I know this might be blasphemous, but Ariza is not a good 3pt shooter. He's a volume three-point chucker of late, and I don't know that I trust him to connect on 35% of his shots from deep. That would be an improvement for Clarkson, but I hope he becomes better than Ariza.

    That's because Wade is just getting knocked down...so he can get back up.

    Clarkson needs to work on finishing with the left. got free nice and pretty a couple times, took minimal contact and couldn't roll it in. that's like me when I get hit going to my weak hand...I played jv, though.

    Yeah I didn't mean it that way but Kobe hasn't played a meaningful game in like 3 years, hence the wording. And I do think Kobe's killer instinct in his prime (or with a competitive team) is greater than Westbrook. Only matched by MJ... maybe greater.

    Read something that might need clarification from you CBA experts. Apparently since Clarkson was a 2nd round pick he falls under the "Arenas" rule which means the first two years of his next contract cannot be greater than the MLE. But then the additional years after that can be greater, similar to the poison pill contracts that Morey was giving out in Houston a few years back.

    That's definitely good news for us if true, and although we'd match any offer for Clarkson this will help our cap flexibility in re-signing, trading, and acquiring FA's next summer.
