    You can say what you want about Clarkson but as of right now, in crunch time I still feel most comfortable with Clarkson to have the ball on offense.

    He is probably the best scorer on this team right now. Some might say its Brook Lopez but a big is never your crunch time closer. Kuzma seems to have cooled off for good and Ingram doesn't have that scorers mentality and doesn't have the 3 ball.

    Clarkson was embarrassingly awful with the ball at the end of the game... It was like he's never seen a trap before in his life and just made bad decision after bad decision...

    But other than that I liked his game. The most important thing to me was his timely three pointers. He answered back with a focus I haven't seen from him all that often. He wanted it.

    Sad that it came to this but it was basically inevitable for us to go for the 2018 plan. JC did an excellent job this year becoming a true 6th man and also improved his overall game. I hope he does well in the future.

    The first of our recent great draft picks. Wowed is your rookie year and developed into a pretty darn good scorer. Hope there's enough IG models for you in Cleveland.

    Hart made JC dispensable imo.

    While JC could go on some awesome scoring spurts, had a arsenal of offensive moves, he was never a good decision maker. Always overdribbling, turning the ball over, and his defense was rarely good.

    Enter Hart who's shown prowess on the defensive end at multiple positions, strong rebounding ability, and an improving 3 point shot.

    Good luck JC.

    Good luck jc! You're going to be very much missed man, you went from a skinny undersized kid that no one knew about to the steal of the draft. Hopefully one day you come back to the purple n gold. #goodluck

    Zo said it best...Trapped lol

    Sucks for JC cause we know he was about that life off the court. But, thanks JC for your service and for helping us realize the 2018plan.

    Good luck JC. He improved a lot and did what asked him to do this season. But we knew he’d end up on another team, it was inevitable.

    It's funny that we're all saying good luck. I doubt Jordan reads this thread.

    JC, despite his faults, has always been reliable for us off the bench. Now he has a chance to show what he can do in the playoffs.

    My favorite current Laker. I’m gonna miss him, but you can’t pass up getting a 1st round pick for him. Best of luck JC!
