This is very bad for Jordan Hill, but I'm not so sure this affects the Lakers' prospects all that much. I dislike the Lakers but will cheer for Earl Clark.
Please no more (insert random player name)-sanity names anymore. They're annoying as hell. Lin was a one time thing. Unless Kobe and Dwight die, there will be no Clarksanity.
WTF?? No kidding? Damn, I feel sorry for the guy. We could have actually used him tonight, were he healthy. Hope it's fixable and I wish him well. Heck, and he was getting his game together in LA, becoming a solid player in their rotation, doing things they needed from him off the bench. Man, they sure could use him now!
Lakers are doing it right. They realized that they will not make the playoffs and with a move like this they obviously are tanking the rest of the season. No way they make the playoffs without Hill.
I'd like to pose a question to everyone: Do you believe losing Jordan Hill is a serious blow to the Lakers making the playoffs? I say definitely not.
Oh, I agree with you. Hill would help them out right now, but he isn't a big difference maker on that team, healthy or not.
It's Jordan Hill, man. Where else are they going to get his 6.7/5.7 production from? Kobe, the best player to ever exist, can't do it all.
I don't know. Look at this footage from youtube.com. That will show you that he can throw it down. Very important in basketball to be able to throw it down. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-R-aX71WKa0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
sucks for hill, he was having his best year. and lakers need all the help they could get but earl clarke can play. i dunno why he nver get any burn but this is a perfect time for him to prove he's worth a rotation spot. and he's beein dong just that
In all seriousness, I like Jordan Hill and have met him on occasion. He is a really laid back guy and has been through a lot. I only wish him the best.
He really is, was cool to talk to back in Summer League '10 and met him at a signing before the regular season last year. Feel like I could hangout with the guy.
