Any team in the NBA must decide how to deal with young players. Generally, young players don’t often contribute to winning, so whether a team is trying to win now or prioritize the future. <\/p>\n
What should the Utah Jazz do? This team is on the bubble. The Jazz have looked like a playoff contender recently, but they could still justify focusing on the young talent on their roster. <\/p>\n
The Los Angeles Lakers couldn’t justify the same decision. With LeBron James still playing at an All-NBA level, they must be in the here and now. The Lakers need to be buyers at the deadline. <\/p>\n
Could they acquire Jordan Clarkson from the Jazz? <\/p>\n
Utah Jazz Receive: F Rui Hachimura, G Gabe Vincent, F\/C Jaxson Hayes, 2029 First-Round Pick (Top 5 Protected – LAL) <\/strong><\/p>\n Los Angeles Lakers Receive: G Jordan Clarkson, F Simone Fontecchio <\/strong><\/p>\n We’ve talked about young players. Let’s talk about aging veterans. Typically, they lose usefulness to a win-now team in time as well. Eventually, any player’s abilities will diminish as they age. <\/p>\n When will LeBron James begin to age? Seriously – what we are witnessing here is not normal. There are grounds to question whether James is of this earth. We’ve never seen a player extend their prime to this extent. <\/p>\n NBA NEWS & TRADE RUMORS: Jordan Clarkson, Utah Jazz, Los Angeles Lakers Updates<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Yet, somehow, the Lakers are far outside of the playoff picture. We can’t blame Anthony Davis either – he’s having a fantastic season. Perhaps the Lakers are lacking depth. <\/p>\n Does acquiring Clarkson do enough to help them? <\/p>\n It’s been suggested that the Lakers are looking for a guard. They’re looking for someone athletic who can guard the point of attack. If that’s true, Clarkson may not be the optimal target for this group. <\/p>\n How strict are the Lakers’ preferences? Shouldn’t they be looking for a guard who can create in half-court sets – whether with athleticism or with craft? If so, Clarkson would be the perfect target. <\/p>\n NBA NEWS & TRADE RUMORS: Jordan Clarkson, Utah Jazz, Los Angeles Lakers Updates<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n No, he’s not an elite athlete – or point-of-attack defender. Still, Clarkson can create offense for himself and others at will. Adding him would give the Lakers a much-needed new wrinkle in their offense. <\/p>\n Should the Jazz part with the talented guard? <\/p>\n The Jazz have been playing better basketball lately. Collin Sexton’s emergence has been a significant reason why. The talented young guard is playing exceptionally well. <\/p>\n Meanwhile, Keyonte George has also flashed plenty of potential during his rookie campaign. So, the Jazz would do well to move Clarkson. If nothing else, they might as well clear a runway for the young backcourt talent on their roster. <\/p>\n NBA NEWS & TRADE RUMORS: Jordan Clarkson, Utah Jazz, Los Angeles Lakers Updates<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Here, they’re flipping Clarkson for a lightly protected first-round pick. They may also be interested in Rui Hachimura – he should at least have the potential to leap John Collins in their rotation. Either way, Hachimura is young enough to be part of their future – but not too young to contribute now. <\/p>\n The post Lakers Land Jazz’s Jordan Clarkson In Bold Trade Idea<\/a> appeared first on NBA Analysis Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Any team in the NBA must decide how to deal with young players.
