The idea of the LA Lakers winning a championship this season will surely remain an idea. With their current standing at the bottom of the Western Conference, it would take more than a miracle for them to qualify for the playoffs.
Surely the LA Lakers is not vying for any title this season, as the speculations would suggest the team is scratching this season from their list in preparation for the next season. There have been rumors already that some talented players are to be acquired in exchange for their key players, like Jordan Clarkson.
It cannot be denied that Jordan Clarkson has made an impact to the Lakers. He is by far the most consistent player in the team. That is why other teams are considering Clarkson as their prospect come the expiration of his contract.
The 23 year old Lakers guard will soon be a free agent. And as youthhealthmag reported, his $1.4 million contract which due to expire may serve as a trade bait. The possible trade scenario would primarily include Sacramento Kings DeMarcus Cousins.
Cousins has become a regular part of the NBA trade rumor ever since his off court attitude has been exposed, especially after Cousins allegedly cursed his own coach George Karl. There have been rumors spreading that the Kings are ready to ship DeMarcus Cousins out from their team, and this would obviously be a good opportunity for Lakers and other teams to take for granted. Though there have been strong denials from the Kings management, still some insiders insist that Cousins may soon go and be replaced by Jordan Clarkson as youthhealthmag reported.
The Sacramento Kings is in the tight spot despite the presence of a promising and talented center player, Cousins. That is why their head coach has previously questioned their players' lack of consistency and heart for the game. And the possible entry of a consistent player like Jordan Clarkson may be the solution that the Kings needed in order to solidify their performance and put their hearts out in each game.
