Deng might want to retire if encouraged like Metta and then the Lakers could use the stretch provision on Mosgov who is just a waste. Period. Calderon is going to just be released outright.

Good game last night. They were competitive the whole way, kept it close, game was entertaining, but also improved their chances at keeping the pick.
I don't see this team finishing higher then the third worse, or may get second worse record. I don't see more then 2-3 wins the rest of the season.. They are seriously tanking. Good call luke!! It appears they are looking to see if either Clarkson or Russell will be the point next year or they will draft one and trade Russell IMO.
That is a very good possibility as Clarkson or Russell at the two but I think fultz is more of a combo guard. If they get a pg, I still see them moving Russell and keeping Clarkson. I wish a great big man was in this draft.Yeah, it's definitely full tank mode, which is fine. I'm not sure the Russell/Clarkson thing is about looking to trade Russell. I think it may be more about drafting a PG and sliding Russell over to the 2 spot.
Remember, our starting 2 guard has been Nick Young. While he has played well, he is what 32? He's not going to be part of the future when the Lakers are relevant again and there has been some thought that Russell may be better suited for the 2 guard role.
If the Lakers keep their pick I could see a future that has, for example, Ball or Fultz at point, Russell at the 2 and Clarkson as the 6th man.
It'll be another very interesting off season with the Lakers having a lot of decisions to make.

Looks like the top 3 in the upcoming draft are all point guards and all have some differences to their game.
Ball appears to be the best passer of the 3 and probably has the best offensive skills.
Jackson appears to be the best defender of the 3.
Fultz appears to be the best all around. He's better offensively than Jackson and better than Ball defensively.
Assuming the Lakers get the top pick...who ya got?
For me, it's Jackson for his defense, followed by Fultz, then Ball.
But I don't think they can go wrong with any of them.
honestly if you youtube balls open court passing, offense, you just cant pass him up. Hes amazing for 19. I dont give 2 shits about college but this kid is gonna be an all star sooner than later.Looks like the top 3 in the upcoming draft are all point guards and all have some differences to their game.

I agree ball seems like the next great PG. Now I see what tj said about Clarkson being a six man with Russell at the 2. I hope that happens.honestly if you youtube balls open court passing, offense, you just cant pass him up. Hes amazing for 19.
