After an 0-4 start to the season, the Lakers are desperately trying to ship Russell Westbrook and acquire some shooters to fit in with Lebron.

The Lakers are rumoured to be interested in several players around the league and acquiring Jordan Clarkson is on top of their list. They need another guard who can create his own shot and is efficient from 3s.

According to Zach Lowe of The Lowe Post, he mentions that the Jazz are reluctant to let go of their star and especially to a Lakers team who doesn't own a first rounder next year.

I've heard the same stuff that other people have reported that they are just super reluctant to move Clarkson,


They're really fond of him for whatever reason so I would peg him as the least likely of all these Jazz guys to get traded.

Jordan Clarkson is playing some of his best basketball this year, averaging just under 19 points a game, 5 assists and 4 rebounds. He is a regular starter for the Jazz, playing a huge role in their strong start.

However, by trading away both Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell, Danny Ainge has made it clear that the Jazz are going through a serious rebuild.

So why not trade Jordan Clarkson at his peak value? You will maximize the return you can get for the former Laker.

The Lakers are in desperate mode, and are trying to change the squad after their 0-4 start.

Could a reunion be happening?
