Provided that Nick Young opts out of his contract at the end of the current season (something I still doubt), the Lakers will remain with a hole at the shooting guard position in the starting lineup and without a long-term solution if they intend to keep Clarkson coming off the bench.
Tim Hardaway, poised to become a free agent this summer, could be the solution they are looking for.
He steadily progressed through the course of the season with the Hawks (nothing to do with last year) and looks like a good fit for Luke Walton & Co.
