No.... time to move on from the past. Too bad for Earl, I'd rather see Manny Harris back instead.

I'd take him back deep and work out a buyout with Kaman. It would do us some good pr spin to not **** over Kaman totally and let him go to a team that will give a role.

Hate to say it but I'd sit Pau and Nash out the rest the year too

I liked Earl last season, but the dude has a bad disappearing act. He will show up for one game and suddenly disappear for the next five. It got tiring to see last season, and if it is still a problem of his going forward, I can see many people turning on him if we sign the guy again.

He fits what the coach likes, stretch 5 who shoots 3's.

He's a great fit here. I loved seeing him Hill, Gasol and Clark together. Another thing is Clark played the long range 4 perfect for us. The dude could rebound, drive, dish and shoot, so not this season, but I would look into him this off-season

Should he return? For a minimum deal, yes. Why not? PF is the biggest position of need and we can always use bigs, if for nothing else, to audition for a frontline spot on next year's team.


well if his high lvl performance is soly based on Antoni as a coach then I wouldn't want him back at all, he was terrible in Pho, meh in Orl, good here and sure enough terrible waste of money and signing in Clev. So with my hopes of seeing Pringes being fired this off-season Clark doesn't need to be back, he'll be bench warming just like his Clev. tenure.

Clark's best, most ideal role is as a starter, next to an offensive bigman where he is the fifth option.

Either that, or as a fourth big off the bench. In this role, however, he may be wildly inconsistent.

Hey guys, remember Jodie Meeks under Mike Brown? Steve Blake? Look at them now.

I like this kid......he plays really hard. He's a good young big to have at his price.

He should come back for the min. LA is a good fit for him. He can be that spark plug off of the bench. Maybe turn into a trade asset down the road. He need mins to keep developing.

if he's only gona play well under Antoni, why bother? As I'm hoping Mustache face is gona the very minute they play their last game of the season. I'd take him back for the vet min only though
