Jordan Clarkson Speaks On His Future Amid Lakers Rumors

Jordan Clarkson gets real on all the rumors placing him out of the Utah Jazz.

Jordan Clarkson is a very interesting target for several teams in the NBA. The shooting guard found his place in the world in Utah, but it seems like his time with the Jazz is coming to an end. 

During the season, he was linked with a move to the Los Angeles Lakers, which never happened. He was well aware of that but didn't make much of the situation. 

“You know, for me, I know what it is—it’s the business,” Clarkson told Heavy Sports. “And, you know, I’ve been a part of this business for a long time now, I guess. Nine years, about to go on to 10 after this next. You know, I’m willing to, you know, do whatever is asked of me.”

During their tumultuous tenure with Russell Westbrook, the Lakers were linked with a series of former players, including Kyle Kuzma, Julius Randle and Clarkson. However, they couldn't complete a move for any of them, and all these players have blossomed after leaving the Lakers. 

Clarkson doesn't rule out a move to Los Angeles again, but it remains to be seen what the future holds for him and the team that originally drafted him. The Lakers are often linked with players around the league, which is why this should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Los Angeles Lakers Linked With A Move For Clarkson This Summer 

Clarkson was recently named a good target for the Lakers, who will have to add more pieces this offseason. The Purple and Gold are having a nice 2022-23 NBA season, but they want more. Adding Jordan would be great for them.

In this campaign, Jordan Clarkson averaged 20.8 PPG, 4.0 RPG, and 4.4 APG for the Utah Jazz. He could be the leader of the second unit like he was in Utah, and redeem himself on the Lakers. 

Meanwhile, the Purple and Gold get ready to face the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs.
