But objective numbers don't mean anything for team building. How much of the cap did they use? That's all that matters.
Pincus said about 11 million. We've got something like 30-35 million left to spend (depending on if we stretch Nick's contract).
Yeah Jordan really wanted to be a Laker. I think I may just wear my Clarkson jersey today. Love this guy. He's the most mature and consistent player of the young guys and it's gonna be great watching him be a leader on this team.
Yeah Clarkson is from my home town which is San Antonio. Easy guy to root for. This city is definitely very proud of him. Hard worker. Love the under dog mentality he played with and it speaks to our scouting department that we were able to find a top seven prospect that deep in the draft.
But..but what about Russ the snitch being a toxic teammate none of our young guys wanted to play with anymore.
I love this guy... "We had two tough years, but I don't want to be a guy that is afraid and will run away from challenges," Clarkson said last month. "I want to be a part of the situation when it turns around because I was here when it was down. I never want to leave."
Exactly the type of the guy we want to be a building block for this team. We saw how Ingram clearly wanted to be and was thrilled when the Lakers took him. Russell, Randle, and Nance Jr. you can tell thoroughly enjoy being apart of this franchise.
Clarkson was a 16/4/2 player last year, he's been relatively healthy in his 2 years with us, he's worth every penny he got on this deal in this FA market. He could have gotten more elsewhere. If they want to point out bad salaries they should stick to Bradley Beal or Jerryd Bayless, or at least if they're gonna take shots at us go after Mozgov.
While I like JC annual deal, I think mgmt. should've allowed him to sign an offer sheet and matched. It would've helped this year and next years cap much better. Yea his contract would be 20mill per for years 3/4 but hopefully by then our team would've been set.
...sends chills up and down my spine hearing this. This young man's attitude is a rarity. Happy to hear of this and thank you for that quote.
This is an absolute bargain. You cannot possibly be complaining about this deal. It's an absolute steal getting such a solid young player at such a low price relative to the cap.
