Keon Clark?

[Dave64]

If we need a defensive center who can rebound and block shots, what about our own free agent, Keon Clark? Is he too inhury prone and too much of a goofball? Just curious! Dave

He is, by all accounts, really bad news. After we traded for him last season, we told him not to bother showing up for practice, and that if he wanted to attend a game, he was welcome to buy a ticket.

His reputation is so bad that he might not be able to get an NBA contract at all next season. If he does, it won't be with us.

 

[Dave64]

Why specifically is he bad news? Drugs? Alcohol? Bad attitude? Just curious. He has always seemed a little "different". Not that there is anything wrong with that! Dave

What's the spread on Keon Clark signing in Portland as a "veteran influence for Zach Randolph"?

well there is drugs as one of the main things. he is also not a good teammate from the things i heard up here. oh his father is in jail for murder.

so he does not add to a team's chemistry? Sounds like the Suns took him in the Googs deal just because they had to match salaries. "Come here, but do not, under any circumstances, talk to Amare!"

That's basically correct. Utah insisted on dumping as much salary as the Suns would let them get away with.
