Clarkson Opts In

Kinda my thought too... but I posted earlier JC is likely not plan A for a lot of teams... so he might be plan B for a couple scenarios including in Utah. So if it doesn't come through we pay JC and use our space (likely have it agreed in basic terms now) but we are working together to find the right spot for him... and it may end up being here.
If you were to talk to the version of NAOS that was alive 2-3 years ago and say, "Clarkson will still be with the team on Jun 29, 2023 AND you will be hoping he signs a contract extension," then I would have thought you were bat**** crazy. But it's true.
 
If this was an opt-in and trade, I’d imagine we’d have heard some details about that by now.

Dos pesos.
 
IF JC is traded... IF it happens... not predicting it for sure happens... here are my guesses:

- Clips for Norm Powell basically straight up saves LA a bunch of money and gives them a bench vet replacement for a guy that may not be happy (there has been enough noise on Norm that I believe he is out there)
- LA exercises Beasley's option then makes the trade... we get draft stuff for our trouble.
- Bucks one is trickier... wonder if Allen plus a signed and traded Ingles could get us to the right salary... needs some draft comp in there.

I suppose Boston with Brogdon could happen as well but yeah I want a pick in that one. I think the clips Brogdon deal fell apart because they couldn't get a physical in time and had concerns.

Powell is somewhat interesting. Super efficient. A couple years older than I’d prefer though and I think mediocre on defense no?

Not necessarily. Might need FA open or might have some things that need to be played out first. I kinda feel the opposite. If its a opt in and extend the numbers would be agreed to before he opted in... so I would think the contract amount would be announced if that were the case.

Again... I think he is plan B for a few places... and we might be his plan B. Either way I am good.

Average defender. Certainly more sturdy than JC.
 
not a single person has mentioned that clarkson just turned 31. kudos to him for being so loveable that he transcends the timeline, but do we want to extend a guy who is over thirty to a multiyear? when is he going to start to decline? i guess if it's a decreasing contract than this could work but i've been against him on the future team from the moment they traded away the core.
