With less than a week to go for the season to start, and all of us trying to figure out who was going to be the odd man out (Dorsey,Black, Adrien) Morey just went and claimed Earl Clark of waivers, any comments about this?

Morey wants every lottery pick of the 2009 draft to play for the Rockets for at least 1 preseason game.

My "sources?" was a joke as well. Was waiting for that one ESPN guy's photo with the swirling eyes. I knew it was a joke.

we also signed some pg guy today and let geruad johnson go. Again, i don't think this moves the needle, but it might have more impact on the ish/canaan grouping imho then earl clark on tj, dmo, etc.
guys name is akeem richmond, i know nothing about him: here's the article:

The rockets just wanted to meet their quota of 3 camp cuts sign to the D-league. First Mitchell, now geruad, and soon Akeem. This gives me one conclusions. Black is getting a roster spot, because if they were to cut him, first priority would be signing him to one the 3 spots with the vipers, and they will soon have those 3 spots filled so he is being kept.
The idea of getting these players to the vipers is any young or undrafted players the rockets might have looked at can now be groomed and tested in their own development team and basketball systems to see if they can become decent role players down the road. Like Daniels who was a success, Covington who has the potential, but failed to do anything with it, and quite a few failures over the years. However if you can get a Daniels gem every couple to few years, I would call that a success and key to building a stable and deep team. I'm glad we're a team ahead of the curve with this minor league like system.

I liked Clark with the Lakers. He was usually very reliable, especially on D. However, his career has spiraled downwards since moving on to the Cavs. I think he will be kept on the roster for the regular season.
This was my last post since May when Lillard hit the buzzer!

I agree. Clark is terrible. I heard Morey was interested in Villanueva too. Was Robert Covington really so bad that Morey would rather consider those guys? Hell, I would rather take a flier on Metta World Peace at the 4.
