(Shams) Rockets sign Gary Clark to 3 year deal

Glad we gave him this money and now refuse to put him in the rotation

 

There goes my cousins spot

 

Where is he?

 

Why is House playing over Clark. What is going on.

 

We signed a guy who's getting a DNP

 

The gifs in the thread just cracks me up. More interesting than the Rockets game.

 

Maybe he’s going to be traded ?

 

Are you incapable of reading?

I like this deal in a vacuum. I don’t like that we have to rely on Clark to replace a veteran wing.

 

Gary Clark has the best agent in the business. Props to him.

Got randomly removed from the rotation and got a raise for it. Amazing.

Good job, Rockets!

 

To make matters worse we are paying 2.50$ per dollar due to the lux tax.

 

Hilarious!!

 

3.7 million for 3 years and it's only partially guaranteed? That's a hard deal not to like.

 

Now it all makes sense. They don't want to make his 2019/20 salary guaranteed. The Tillman is broke. @Carl Herrera

Pincus explains, the following things must be true for Clark’s 2019/20 salary to become guaranteed before next January 10:

• He appears in at least 37 games for the Rockets during the 2018/19 regular season.
• The Rockets miss the playoffs OR Clark appears in at least two postseason games OR Clark is cut by April 10, 2019.

 

He has 10 games to go. But, he will also have to play in 2 post-season games

....the other two conditions don't seem likely.

 

House has been playing really well.

Edit: I see I was responding to an old post. Sorry

 

This would be a shitty reason for not playing him. To save a few bucks?

 

Don't quote Carl

 

Dude got a free Mercedes SUV from Paul.

fwiw, we know now he got fully outplayed by House, and he has played the last four games since EGo went out. Just seems like regular MDA rotation dynamics, not nefarious. As for the requirement of 2 post-season games, even Zhou played 3 post-season games last year, so MDA will clear the bench in blowouts in the playoffs. Aaron Jackson and Tarik played 7 games. And year before, Isaiah Taylor and Troy Williams played 3 and 5 playoff games.

 

As long as he is on bench for non-nefarious reasons I'm good.

 

Can his contract be used in a trade by the deadline this year ?
