    The Lakers have done good work with late picks.

    Clarkson points will be hard to replace.
    Can lonzo play the SG. Gotta like the lakers moves maybe winning a title in the next 5 years. Im thinking they think their the next GS warriors. Walton is doing real good for himself.

    Exactly. They can parlay picks into starters. Plus Magic loves all men named Isaiah Thomas.

    Yeah Clarkson is nothing more than quick offense off the bench. He's falls into the Jamal Crawford, Eric Gordon and Lou Williams category. He can score, but can't do much else.

    Nance is a nice pick up because he is the new age PF. He can guard Draymond Green and defend the pick and roll.

    Hood will help, he is a nice player. Can probably do a decent job guarding Durant.

    They still have zero PG.

    This move will help the Cavs in the regular season, but they aren't winning more than one game against the Warriors in the finals. The Cavs last season were better than this team is now.

    Clarkson is a turnover machine with very low basketball IQ. Nance can jump out of the gym but another extremely low IQ. IT is a strange addition to the struggling Laker D but I think they’re expecting him to take off in free agency and really wanted the draft pick.

    Magic and Pilinka making decent moves so far. Exciting times for Laker fans.

    Not to mention coming off a hip surgery. Lakers still seem like they dont have an identity, guess itll just take time to get the pieces fitted right.

    All about clearing cap space and hoarding 1st round picks. They can now sign 2 MAX contract guys and they get a 1st round guaranteed pick from Cavs.

    Those guys you mentioned are perennial 6th men or huge contributors, Clarkson is not on that level.

    I like this roster more than I did yesterday, but currently I don't see them getting out of the East, especially if they have to play on the road at Boston and/or Tor.

    How can you be lucky an entire year. Thomas is a scorer, he was always able to get buckets, just needs the right fit imo. Needs the ball of course to score.

    Relax Lakers fans this was homerun for Lakers IT will be gone end of season and this opened up more cap space for next season Free agents and now Lakers got 1st round pick. LAKERS are going to be back on top very soon.
