Randle and Nance are tons better than Joff but the Lakers aren't just giving these guys away.
According to Woj, Lakers are looking to clear space by getting rid of Clarkson, Randle & Nance. Randle looked like a dud, but has improved this year despite spending time out of Walton's rotation. I think with Gay, we've got a good combo forward off the bench so Nance, even though he's ok, would probably be wasted. Clarkson, even though he is probably a better scorer, isn't a good shooter & his defense is probably as bad as Mills. Randle has an expiring contract & seems to have decent foot speed when switched onto smaller guards and is even showing some signs of rim protection ability. Could be someone worth looking at.

I thought that but then I remembered Magic's tweets

Jordan Clarkson isn't a poor shooter, he's just not a great one. Still, I'd take him over Patty at this point. Not that it has any chance of happening regardless.
I remember the Spurs liking Larry Nance Jr. coming out of college. Worked him out a couple of times and seriously considered taking him IIRC.
Very true. We have no assets in which the Lakers would be interested - especially if they want to clear cap space. All we have are bloated contracts... But, in his draft class wasn't Nance a player in whom the Spurs were rumored to have interest?
Haha! Yup, Magic is some kind of talent evaluator!
Getting Randle or Nance would be solid but I doubt the Lakers would be willing to give those guys to the spurs without demanding a lot in return.
The Lakers should be able to get decent draft picks for Randle and/or Nance if they wind up moving them, and it won't be from the Spurs.
I remember Nance Jr. had a good summer league game once. Spurs should sign him.
I'm willing to take what the Lakers have to offer for pennies on the dollar.
Lol its what you get when you value social media likes over bbiq...
^ He was, but he's shown some improvement this season on both sides of the ball.
he somehow grew a wingspan, a brain and a jumper?
Lol at some of you think they want a lot in return. They traded 6MOY candidate Lou Williams for peanuts. They want the cap space for this offseason and Randle isn't getting paid. Clarkson is on 11M-13M per season for the next 3 years, and Nance Jr has one year left after this in his rookie contract. They'll take what they can get.
Can we trade Murray for Clarkson??
Making room for LeBron and Paul George.
Clarkson is not the answer for the Spurs. Not saying Murray is...
Why not , good Sir?
Anderson for Larry Nance jr would work
He would be just one more mediocre combo guard in the Spurs' collection. Clarkson might have a slightly different skill set and be an immediate upgrade from Dijon, but he would be a stop-gap. I think the Spurs need a better primary ball handler and distributor.
