Dear god no

 

[DJ Fieri]

He's a decent defender and can be a body off the bench.

 

[Inimical]

Good lord its come to this

 

[DJ Fieri]

He had his best season with the Los Angeles Lakers.

It's the magic of LA, baby!!!!

 

[LALakersboy24.7]

Oh well.

I mean, what do you expect? The Earl Clarks of the world are really the only players out there to sign with the exception money. The money is more beneficial for LA as flexibility to work trades, but its not like LA has assets any other team would want. You either looking at being a third or fourth part in a trade to make salaries match between teams or you're a dumping ground for a team looking to unload a contract so they can sign a player once buyouts start happening at the start of 2015. Trades are something to watch for.

He isn't being signed with exception money. He'll be signing for the veteran minimum, they'll most likely use Nash's 4.85 medical exception in a trade.

It was fun listing to this while posting it!!!

Since Wesley Johnson has been demoted to first off the bench with Clarkson and Boozer and Kelly being out another month, we are thin at the forward position with Randle gone. Apparently Clark has earned his way back and he'll probably be signed. I read an article that stated that Clark has significantly improved so maybe...

Hands down, the worst article, not only in Hoop history, but ever. DJ has personally set journalism back 100 years.

I typed that up in about 45 minutes and it only took that long because I had to wait for the interviews to take place. Not my best work, but I'll get some better ones up. I'm currently on assignment investigating how many turkeys it takes place to feed the sports team on Turkey Day.


LOL.

Earl Clark is a Laker.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea what happen to Earl Clark? Also, Celtics boy just cut Jordon Farmar to bring in his own son to play for the ClipJoint. If we need help, he could just walk across the hall.

I'd be happy to get Farmar back. Clips weren't using him right anyway, Jamal Crawford might as well be the backup PG.

 

[Retroram52]

Yep me too Outlaw. If they are going to shut-down Kobe after the All-Star break they might as well sign Farmar and continue to re-assemble the young team from last year minus Meeks, Henry, and Bazemore.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Not sure what happened to Clark signing. He must have failed the physical maybe?
