    He sucks defensively now also. He’s useless. Nobody is listening to this guy that contributes absolutely nothing. Deployed situationally haha. Nah more like they realize how bad he is now. So he’s just a wasted roster spot. He’s getting paid to clap his hands and be a cheerleader

    What about Nene's corpse. Why is he still on the team?

    Oh okay, you're a homer. It's hard to tell because I instantly forget about you guys whereas I live in your minds.

    Damn. Just when I admitted I was wrong writing this dude off he got waived wtf!

    Clark has been great as Tucker's understudy, even hit his 3 pts at 35%. I blame LTS Tillman and MD "I only have eyes for Benmac"A for this.

    When you pay $2.3 bln for something, I think you're entitled to cut a fringe player to stay below paying additional money. IMHO!

    Of course you can. Tilman can do whatever he wants. Fans don’t have to appreciate it though.

    He’s made countless money saving moves at the expense of the team and it’s future. He can do whatever he wants, but just stop lying that winning is your priority.

    See, I'm fine with him lying as long as I can call him out on his BS. It's insane that people on here actually defend him. He's a billionaire slime boy, he doesn't need anyone on this forum's defense.

    I agree - and the shocker last season was the whole Knight/Chriss pay assets to dump instead of taking back 2 viable bodies that could have contributed.

    Having said that, is Gary Clark honestly a contributer at NBA level? He still needs time. Nobody has grabbed him (et). He is a 6'6 C who is trying to learn to play on the wing, and an horrendous shooter who needs mass repetitions. COULD be a nice 3'n'D guy down the track, but won't be this season.

    There is nothing to say that he won't be back with the team next year. In which case this is a zero future cost move.



    For those who wonder "why is Nene still with the team"? Well, basically his salary is useful up until the deadline. If we can't translate him (and Thabo?) into something else, then my guess is that we will see the end of him.

    we have like the 5th biggest payroll.

    spending money just to spend money isn’t a great move now or long term.

    getting so one like RoCo or iggy ya if tilman wouldn’t sign off on that I would get the fuss.

    but Gary Clark?

    I don’t get what’s the big deal we kept Ben hartenstein who have actually contributed and are decent trade pieces as salary filler and hartenstein has decent potential and Ben in a solid rotation player on most teams, If used right.

    Guess you people will be happy when the team finishes in 5th place in the playoffs. Tilman can hang his 5th place payroll trophy in the rafters.

    there's people in here still thinking that all the fuss is about Gary himself only. nope. it's the fact that we know that LTS part 2 is happening. nvm the fact that the rockets have a number of guys banged up on a old team and what do you know, 0 depth to actually help mitigate this.

    LTS champs though. back to back
