    Figured that was coming, he is going to be a nice scorer off the bench....our new Gerald Green.

    I expect that to happen later in the season after some roster consolidation trades are made to open roster spots

    Yeah, our 15 man roster is set. This was entirely expected from me

    Westbrook / Rivers
    Harden / Gordon / McLemore
    House / Sefolosha / Green*
    Tucker / Anderson / Clark
    Capela / Chandler / Hartenstein / Nene*

    Clemons on 2-way, Spalding or Ponds on remaining 2-way.

    Once we do a midseason trade to dump one of Nene, Hartenstein, Clark, Green (basically a non contributing player) to open up the cap and roster spot. We'll likely be sending cash and perhaps a 2nd so we can dump a player or two into pure cap or a TPE, we aren't waiving a player and paying that lux tax bill to sign Clemons right now.

    Russell Westbrook - Austin Rivers - Chris Clemons - Shamorie Ponds
    James Harden - Ben McLemore - Gerald Green
    Eric Gordon - Danuel House
    PJ Tucker - Thabo Sefolosha - Gary Clark - Ray Spalding
    Clint Capela - Tyson Chandler - Ryan Anderson - Isaiah Hartenstein - Nene

    (or House starting with Gordon off the bench, whatever)

    Sorry, he earned a spot over Clark, Anderson, Hartenstein & Nene
    And they don't need nor play 5 centers (or 1/3rd of the roster)

    What's their fascination with carrying 5 centers, more than half who can't even play? :rolleyes:

    obvious choice to get one 1 of the g-league deals. I wonder who the other one is. nobody else has stood out at all among the possibilities

    Clemons will see more playing time in the first month than Clark will see in 2 seasons. Only 2 way?

    Danuel House's agent is on the phone now :

    "Hey Chris, listen, I got a plan for you."

    Chris Clemons was making the team no matter what because MDA really likes him.

    I am sure Morey is thinking....... if MDA likes him, maybe he will play him.

    We need to dump Hartenstein for a future second rounder.

    Dude is going to play. He is too good to keep off the floor.

    Better than Capela. Play Clemons at Center!

    Thats what I was hoping for...but if they play him too much early, he's going to play hard ball like house.....

    I would say 125% - he is much better in every way, especially on D.
