DANTE TRADED TO CAVS

[candrew]

I believe Clarkson was the guy that took Rodney Hood's minutes in the 17-18 season in Cleveland.

Maybe a bit of a reach - but it's the only time he's ever played on a team with an actual offense and he played well. His overall resume is not very impressive though - never been a fan TBH. But other than that 30 or so game stretch in Cleveland he's played his entire team on garbage teams so who knows.

As for the trade, hell yeah, there weren't playing Dante anyway and to drop Exum's two remaining years for an expiring is giant bonus. Jazz need a SG to take minutes. Donovan's going to be burned out by April - watching that chucker Herro take advantage of DM tonight burned my ***.

Wasn’t it Lowe suggesting last week that the Jazz are waiting for phone calls and not making any calls

Seriously no one knows what goes on behind closed doors , especially with the Jazz , they are always tight with information.

This makes a trade for say, Bobby Portis a lot more doable.

the guy hasn’t even got on a plane and we trading him already.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

WE GOT ALEC BURKS 2.0!!!!!

That’s basically what I texted my buddy when he told me about the trade... he was not happy.

Fantastic so happy for Dante. Finally Dante is away from quin

Does this mean you're going to go away too? If so the trade is a huge win.

The big difference is Clarkson is a lot more willing to shoot 3's.

I'm setting my expectations with Clarkson low lol. But it does give us a possible use for him at the deadline *shrug*.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

outside of his expiring contract, i don't think clarkson would do much to this current roster. we already got enough players who are good at nothing besides ball-hogging/chucking. we need guys who provide energy/hustle/length. we are not really a better team after these moves. could be worse after losing a legit 6'8 forward in green.

Ummm, who?

Yeah... he’s a good numbers bad team guy at this point but he’s been decently efficient over his career and really efficient this year.

I did give myself a minor panic attack thinking about the ball movement and defense of a Mudiay, Clarkson, Green bench unit. Green now out it might make some sense but the bench is still the island of misfit toys.

He put up good stats on the only good team he had a chance to be part of.

 

[NUMBERICA]

By getting under the cap, don’t we now lose the full MLE?

If they have an amount greater than the full MLE, I believe. That would also come with a room MLE.

He was solid in the regular season, postseason not so much.

I didn’t watch it all but remember some bad moments.

Five points a game shooting 33% from the field 23% from three.

Clarkson hasn’t exactly played for many good teams with any kind of structure with lakers and LBJ-less cavs, and it’s not exactly easy to play with LBJ

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Clarkson isn’t perfect, has his flaws, he’s inconsistent, at times he’ll throw up 20+ points and light it up, but the next night he’ll shoot 25-30% with 8 points on 15 shots, but at the end of the day he’s going to give us more in a little over half a season than what we got from Exum in 5 years, so I’m good, IMO clarkson is about the best value we could expect from an Exum trade.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

Also, he’s not a playmaker, like at all and likes the midrange game a little too much.

 

[Thee Idiotic Minivan K]

I do think he fits this team better than Mudiay
