    Clark's main legacy is that D'Antoni used him to get rid of Melo.

    They don’t like his potential too much if they waived his ass.

    Bonafide scrub
    We all wished he could be the next ariza/luc, he had the size and strength and motor, but he just wasn't
    It would be nice if he could return and maybe develop some bb-IQ and improve his shot over the years, bc we def won't have any draft picks to develop

    It is interesting that you suddenly have so much interest and are posting now that big daddy is being attacked.

    It isn’t about Gary Clark, it is a red flag that Tillman is going to Tillman again. The fact that someone in the Rockets organization said the Rockets were high on his potential.... and released him BUT may resign him again proves it was done for luxury tax savings. Tillman is telling everyone in his circles he will go into the tax and add at the deadline - he is on the clock... he talks the talk but will he walk the walk.

    If he puts his money where his mouth is, I will be the first to give big daddy credit... but he has a track record.

    Smh, They didn’t learn from the Covington situation. We release him too and now we want him back

    Clark is not that good. He needs to go to Europe for a couple of years gain some confidence and work on his shot. Not much of a loss at this point. Good defensively, but not good enough to make it with just defense.

    Too tall for a wing in D'Antoni's system

    Well at least he got some money and a nice car before the waiver. Dumb decision I actually like Clark. I wonder why they hated him so much.

    Will this be picked up by media and Tilly shamed like KD was?

    This does not bode well for MDA if owner is already throwing him under bus while Rockets fighting for #1 seed.

    Silly Tilly has no shame or tech savvy. Hope he's better at hiding bodies.

    Clark is bad.

    Yeah he can shoot. Yeah he's also undersized, not quick enough to be a 3, and way undersized height and weight for the 4. This is nothing.

    Cheesy but I won't fully react until we see how it will be used. Feel for Gary though, best of luck.
