    i mean, the SF situation not looking that good. Wesley dosent impress thus far and Henry is injury prone. Clark had some big games in the 2012 season, something like 20+ 10+ games. Kober knows him. i don't know if for the good or bad, but still knows him.
    The Grizzlies waived him off. what do you think?

    You want another Wesley Johnson on this team? He's went from Phoenix to Orlando to the Lakers to Cleveland and just got cut from Memphis I believe; he's a bust. He's showed signs of potential even before he was with us and just fizzles out. Low basketball IQ, no fundamentals, etc...No thanks.

    I don't know what about him playing in other teams, maybe it's something in the air in LA, but he had a good season with the Lakers. even was one of the highlights when they were playing really bad.
    He makes the open shots. he's strong on the rebound. he's defence can be teached.
    and thats all i want from the SF position on this team.

    He play well for a stretch with us and then he fizzled out. That's been his basketball career so far. He doesn't have it mentally. Same for Wesley; and, trust me, 1 of those is enough on this team.

    Yeah, he had one good stretch because Brown gave him some minutes, but he kind of faded...

    They're pretty similar. Clark is a little smarter, but not any more talented.

    anyway now that Nash in gone and there is free space on the roster i can't think of a reason why not to sign him as a cheap player on the bench. he is atleast better than Roscoe Smith.
    and with Lin, Price and Clarkson im ok with the PG position.

    Well in his defense, I at least saw flashes with Clark. Nothing really excites me about Wesley.

    Earl Clark always struck me as something of a mental midget. I gotta believe there's a reason why nobody else in the league wants him.

    No thanks, total garbage who was way overrated and inconsistent. I would rather have Wesley on my team than Clark any day and Wesley well.....Most know how upset I have been with him this pre-season.

    Funny how the Rockets press release doesn't mention that he played for the Lakers

    It's not like 36 of those 54 starts happened here

    He's Dwight's boy, gotta think this is D12 sticking his nose into Daryl Morey's business.

    he could fit in Houston next to Dwight like he did here, but Terrence jones is a similar, more effective player.

    he's not a sf, though, imo. and apparently, he's barely an nba player.
