JULY 9: The Pelicans have officially re-signed Clark, according to the NBA’s transactions log.
JULY 6: Ian Clark will re-sign with the Pelicans for one year at the veteran’s minimum, tweets Jordan Schultz of Yahoo Sports.
As our chart of 2018/19 minimum salaries shows, Clark will earn $1,757,429 for the season and the team will have a $1,512,601 cap hit.
Clark, 27, was a valuable reserve in his first season in New Orleans, posting a career-best 7.4 points per night in 74 games (19.7 MPG) and shooting 31.8% from 3-point range. He improved those numbers to 7.8 PPG and 35.7% in the playoffs.
The Pelicans are the fourth NBA stop for Clark, who signed as a free agent last summer after winning a championship with the Warriors. He also spent time with the Jazz and Nuggets.
Yes good sign, and he can do better than 32% from 3. He could be a starter actually, with Peyton replacing Rondo. Don’t know which way Peyton is going or how tall his hair will be but Clark is reliable at pace.
Payton with the hair blinding him is still sooo much better player than Clark, is not even close, Payton has the potential to be a star, Clark is just a very mediocre player.
I was an advocate, but Peyton went the wrong way in PHX. They and ORL gave up on him, not good.
GSW replaced Clark with “swaggy p” & got less (though there is no sign GSW wants him back… most teams most of the time don’t want old players back).
Clark can come in cold & use pace. Smart & a winner.
