That's definitely the bottom line. If Tilman weren't so tax-phobic, we'd have kept Clark so next year's coach would better utilize him.
This was basically the Rockets telling Gary Clark to enjoy Disneyworld for a few weeks and he'll be back with a new deal.
You’re a free agent after each 10 day. Not like ORL has exclusive negotiating rights. I’m sure a full contract offer would trump a 10-day. But that brings up the point, what if ORL makes a take-it-or-leave-it Now demand on a full contract, before Morey is willing to fill our roster spot. I doubt Clark waits around for Morey to find a better player, as his fallback option.
Magic's system is more about sharing the ball. I think their Franchise star Gordon is averaging 16 points? or less?.. It's honestly a good place for Clark to showcase what he can do since the system is pretty welcoming to role players. It's what Rocket haters call, "playing the right way".
