Wow..

Between Mosgov and Clarkson that's about $30M the lakers have tied up over the next 4 years to scrubs.

Ouch.

I've been contemplating trading all our Brooklyn future picks for either the Knicks ones or the Lakers ones.

Eh. Can we really call him a scrub? He's looking like a steal for them unfortunately (Clarkson)

Good contract. $12 million a year is fine for a player of his ability & potential.

Not the worst deal for them - it gives them the ability to trade Russell if they so choose. I think we will see a lot worse signings than this one (like Mozgov) before it's all said and done.

They could trade Russell, but from what I hear, they view Russell and Clarkson as their backcourt of the future.

Absurd!  I could probably get 3/6 today
