daye and ayres
I think he would be a great fit if we were able to sign him.

Would be a perfect fit for the needs we have. Combo forward with size, speed, strenght with good shooting, although questionable BB IQ.
Should have just signed him over James last year. It would have been a much better fit.
Makes more sense than Ray Allen tbh.
Better than Ayres or Daye tbh.
He has 2 first names.
Smells of a small trade brewing. Too many recognizable names for the 16th slot.
Many of us were saying just that. I was really legitimately stunned that nothing came from that last year. He's young, athletic and plays a position of need and has shown the skillset that does well in this system (even if it has not been consistent).
Yeah, I wanted the Spurs to pick him up last year too. He must have been having a really bad season though to get cut by Cleveland and being cut by New York later over Shannon Brown.
This smells like an agent trying to spark interest for his client. I think the Ayon and Josh Davis stuff sounds more legit.
His one season with Lakers was pretty good.
He's one of the endless rank of mid round SFs I dearly wished the spurs could draft in the post-Bowen years. But then Kawhi happened.
Ayon/Clark as opposed to Ayres/Daye, not bad trade-offs imo
exstatic and that coyote kid would like a word with you..
Being cut by garbage teams like CLE and the Knicks give me pause tbh. But I wanted him last season and still brings a much needed skillset to the roster.
The biggest question with Earl Clark is can he shot well enough (from the perimeter) to have a chance at the last roster spot? He'd be ideal as a combo forward that can back up Kawhi and play along side either Timmy or Tiago. I just wish we had more than one roster spot available with so many intriguing candidates out there.
I was hoping he'd be scooped out last year as the 15th man but they settled on Damion James for goodness knows what reason. He has an absolutely terrible career field goal percentage (40%) and isn't young enough to be considered a prospect (26 yrs. old) anymore, but his size, versatility and athleticism aren't things that can be taught.

Agree. Even before the trade deadline, Clark was one of ST favorites.
Not saying much coming from two of the worst franchises in the league. Teams like that don't have any idea what they are doing anyway. Organizations like that don't want to spend time on putting some type of system in place for their players. To me, especially the Knicks, I feel they don't want to coach they're players. They'd rather have head cases like jr smithand prima Donna Carmelo anthony. I mean just look at Tyson chandler. He's had really bad seasons with them. The guy is better than what's he's done in NYC. The Knicks are just looking for flashy players to go along with smith and melo to... Wooo the crowd. That's why they're all up on that other jr kid. And the cavs..they didn't even know which way was up before this offseason. So my point is, Clark has all the attributes of a player the spurs need to backup Kawhi. Given the right team, the guy could thrive. Who better than the spurs to do so.
What were the Cavs thinking giving him $4m? Classic case of getting overpaid because he played in a big market.
Anyways, I don't really see what he gives us that we don't get from Bonner. We're already at the 15 man limit with Baynes, sure we could cut Daye or Ayres for him but I don't see much point of paying their salary just to bring in someone else who won't play.
The Cavs paid that much to get that second, non-guaranteed season. They did a similar thing with Scott Hopson late in the year.
Clark's not like Bonner at all. He's pretty much a more-athletic but worse-shooting Daye.
Not realy,but hey, gotta be with the cool kids.
He's a stretch 4 and not a very good shooting one at that, which is probably why he is out of the NBA.
