Seen any Duncan, Leroux, Golliver, whoever reaction on this?

No. Pels had terrible offseason...

Not saying that Pels acquired Durant. But still...

Clark might have taken more. Just bet on himself.

One year to showcase himself.
Win win

They praised GSW for Casspi signing for minimum.

Pels got rotation player from champions. Young with upside...
For a minimum.

At least be fair...

According to ESPN and national media we are a farm and will fail no matter what we do and feed other teams our "disgruntled stars" who are itching to leave. ..

Yet AD and Boogie are "estatic" with the moves, and while ESPN favorite Western playoff locks like OKC who has no freaking bench or Minny who is a super mystery, and Houston who has Mr I'll kill my wife to win CP3 and James "No Cares Given, where the strip clubs at though?" Harden,
Our freaking squad is not chillaxing in the summer sitting down scared and worried about the West. We putting time in, bussing arse and working like hell daily to build chemistry 3-4 months before training camp starts.

I can't wait for the season to start to see every idiot scream like they are suprised or secretly had us penciled to be a dominant team.

I've just tuned out bloggers and the national writers.

Its mostly just lazy analysis. There are still good ones though.

Duncan literally said that Galloway is "miles better" than Clark

I'm not sure how he came to that opinion, but I'm not going to say that he hasn't watched enough Galloway to know what he's talking about.

Its possible he will become a special player on offense. The announcer told us he didnt get to play in game 5 due to defense in game 4. The replacement was 6 7".

If refs let perimeter players "carry", then clark cant stop them in the open court.

I've been saying for awhile that Duncan is a fricking idiot and has no clue what he's talking about quite often.

I really don't understand how he became some reliable person.

He's a million billion miles from guys like Lowe.

god, i really hate these posts. why do Pels fans need validation from national analysts? Zach Lowe hinted that he doesnt think Pels will be a playoff team and questioned the moves this summer. he hasnt praised the Clark move. is he lazy or committing group think too?

if you just want cheerleading, you can limit your reading to much of what Oleh posts on TBW or Calmes on BSS. good luck with that


i like Clark and the signing, but Casspi is a better player at a premium position. Clark's singing can be good for the Pels and also not worth talking about across the league. not sure why we cant hold two thoughts in our head at one time.


and, if we're being honest, i would much rather have Casspi at a higher salary than Clark. the Pels could have had him too if they had exercised some forethought instead of cycling through 10 days last spring. and i bet writers would have praised the Pels keeping Casspi

Clark was weighed by gsw and found wanting.

After so long, what are odds he breaks out?
Casspi is taller.
"You cant coach height" (hence Asik).

Gee, comdeaux, not even remotely possible?

1 in 9?

I think if he plays enough to get tired you will see a great shooter. You are apparently correct about the d so you cant leave him on the floor vs 1's.

when you say "special offensive player," i think thats more than just being a great shooter.

Clark hasnt shown the off the bounce handle or passing ability to be a special offensive player. plus he doesnt have the size or athleticism to be a guy who can make plays in traffic at the rim.

could it happen? i guess we have learned anything can happen. but that's some lazy analysis- it is very, very, very unlikely

Because they are respectards

Zach Lowe has said the thing that most of these guys should say but are afraid to: I don't know. The Pels are a mystery to him and they should be. They have the talent to work but are going against the grain with their build and there's more evidence that they are a dumpster fire than a team that's about to blow up the league.

If the best case scenario for this team happens they're a 4-6 seed that surprises the league. But would it shock anyone if just like last year the shooters we added started off in historic slumps or guys we were counting on got injured? How screwed is the defense if Solomon Hill goes down? Cunningham is an average defender at best and we're not entirely sure he's coming back. As much as this team has focused on multiposition defenders that can shoot and move the ball, they still have too many guys that are 6'6 and under and not enough guys that are 6'7-6'9.

well, i would say he has watched much more of Clark than anyone here or on a Pels blog. so that should count for something, no?
