Lakers sign MWP to one year deal.

MWP won't start. He's 35 and on his last legs. Ironically, the Lakers have stated that MWP was brought in primarily to mentor Julius Randle, and for his veteran leadership.

I don't understand why the Lakers just hire him as a personal mentor/trainer then?
Every second he plays= the time that the young players are not playing and actually not learning from the floor. If Clarkson played just 10 mins/game last season, I guarantee you, he won't be as good as he is now.

The lakers have put together a half decent team I think they can make a push for the 7 or 8 seed.. Not bad.

That would be a Top 4 team in The Least. But in The Best it doesn't even sniff the playoffs.

Not really...Cavs, Heat, Bulls, Hawks, and Wizards are all better.

The Lakers 'talents' are vastly overrated. None of them seem to have a shot at being real franchise players. Julius Randle looks like a tweener bust who used to bully his way in college, but now is too short to do it. Clarkson is a Monta Ellis at the very best, not a franchise player in any way and likely not a good role player either as he looks frail and lacks defense. Russel has some potential if he focuses on passing and not chucking.

Which is why Randle is working on his jump shot?...He's also a very good passer at his position and can handle the ball. On Clarkson:
