In what constitutes massive progress over last season, the Lakers still have more games to play in mid-April. But at the same time, they may already be looking ahead to their plans for the offseason.

Speaking this week with Heavy Sports’ Sean Deveney, an unnamed Eastern Conference executive said that the Lakers could potentially make a run at former Sixth Man of the Year Jordan Clarkson in the summer. Clarkson, who will turn 31 in June, can decline his player option for next season (worth $14.3 million) and become an unrestricted free agent.
