Don't agree with that given the pace they are beginning to implement. It's going to allow players like Clarkson and Thompson have a much better season than playing Lebron ball. Clarkson can create for himself which is a weakness among most of this roster so unless you find someone who can catch and shoot at a higher % but can also create for himself Clarkson isn't going anywhere for now. Clarkson is not a catch and shoot wing, again he needs the ball to get his rhythm and now that he is keeping his head up more trying to expand his game looking more for cutters & options to dish it instead of concentrating only on scoring and often forcing tough shots ( which he often makes) I would not be shocked if he replaced Hill as the backup pg once Sexton takes over the starting pg job after the deadline trades of Hill and likely Korver.Sure, Clarkson isn't as bad as TT, but I'm not sure that really proves anything.
Here's the real question:
Which players do we see as part of the Cavs long-term player development, and which players are likely to be traded or cut in the near future?
Clarkson is clearly in the trade or cut category of players. I think we're all hoping that he's improved enough that we'll be able to trade him for (1) another pick or (2) as part of a deal for another younger player.
I think very few of us see Clarkson as a key part of the Cavs' long-term player development plans.
