Jordan Clarkson 2018 has the worst playoff stats in NBA history

Cavs traded their 2018 1st round pick for Clarkson and Nance. Brutal.

 

Well, to be fair I think most people who watch closely knew Clarkson wasn't a good player, he's always reminded me a lot of Lin.

Nance is a decent player, he alone is close enough for the value of a late 1st. As the league continues to downsize, he should be more playable in his true position as a center.

 

I like Nance. Nance for a 1st is fine. But Clarkson is a net negative. LA should have paid the price of Nance to get off Clarkson's contract.

 

There’s no way it could’ve been worse than Luther Head’s

 

GM lebron was just thinking ahead, getting this trash off the fakers before he goes there himself?

 

Yet lebron proclaimed "this is a squad" a couple games after the trade. He needs to stop playing gm and let morey run the show

 

he would be a solid fit at C for the rockets for his ability to defend guards on the perimeter and finish lobs at the rim.

 

What really made that trade so great for the Lakers and deadly for the Cavs is Clarkson has 2 more years left on his contract for $26 million. IT is expiring.

In his 3 years, Nance has proven to be mediocre at best. He's not worth a late 1st rounder IMO.

Lastly, considering how it sets up the Lakers to sign LeBron and another max free agent, the whole thing was such a gift horse to the Lakers that the Cavs should be ashamed of themselves.

 

I agree it was a good deal for the Lakers, but the Cavs will be a rebuilding team, Clarksons contract isn't that bad, he's a okay space filler for a non playoff team.

Nance has some special talents, he could still develop into a nice player as a late bloomer. He's a good finisher, good rebounder, big enough to play C but most importantly quick and agile enough to guard the perimeter. Nance is a good defender, he averages close to 2 steals and 1 block per 36 on his career, that's a very high steal rate for a big. I think he has value, not as down on him as you are. I agree that Cavs could have done better, but I think they got a solid piece for the future inc Nance.

 

The 25 year-old Nance better demonstrate these "special talents" in a breakout 4th season or he's a borderline scrub, not a late bloomer. At this point in his career, it's about production not potential.

I see your point about the Cavs, but they made it even easier for the Lakers to sign LeBron this summer and Clarkson's insane contract is another reason he cannot remain with them.

 

2 more years of Clarkson and George Hill.

OUCH.

Those 2 will be the reason why LBJ goes to Rockets. No hope

Clarkson, Hill, TTBOY THOMPSON,JR SMITH, KORVER, etcc....that team have so many overpaid players it's not even funny

 

I remember when LeBron called him "Jordan Crawford" after the first game against Boston.
