Earl Clark - F - Orlando Magic
Aug. 10, 2011 - 7:55 AM ET
Earl Clark has signed a one-year contract to play for the Zhejiang Lions of the Chinese Basketball Association.
Clark's deal will not include an opt-out clause to return to the NBA. Because he was an unrestricted free agent, Clark did not need a letter of clearance from FIBA in order to head overseas. This is the same team that reportedly offered Dirk Nowitzki $1.5 million monthly to play for them. While Clark isn't exactly an All-Star signing for the club, he did show that he was a capable role player after being dealt to the Magic in the middle of last season.
