CLEVELAND -- The Cavaliers have landed one of the Lakers front-line free agents. No, not that guy. Cleveland has agreed to terms on a two-year contract with forward Earl Clark, who played alongside Dwight Howard last season in Los Angeles. Clark, who spent two days visiting with the Cavs earlier this week, is getting a deal worth $9 million, said the person, who spoke to the Associated Press on Thursday on condition of anonymity because NBA teams cant officially sign players until the free agent period ends on July 10. The second year of the deal is a team option, the person said. The Sporting News first reported Clarks deal. The 6-foot-10 Clark set career highs in scoring (7.3), rebounds (5.5) and minutes (23.1) in 36 starts last season. Before joining the Lakers, Clark played for Orlando and Phoenix. He made $1.2 million last season. With Tristan Thompson and No. 1 overall draft pick Anthony Bennett playing power forward, the Cavs needed an experienced small forward and believe Clark can compete for that starting role, along with Alonzo Gee, C.J. Miles, and Sergey Karasev, taken last week with the No. 19 overall pick. In Cleveland, Clark will be reunited with coach Mike Brown. The two were together in Los Angeles last season before Brown was fired after just five games. Clark has also worked with Cavs assistant coach Igor Kokoskov, who was previously with Phoenix. Clark, 25, was drafted in the first round (No. 14 overall) by the Suns in 2009 after playing at Louisville.

FSG said they attended just one less than thrilling match before their £295m takeover and did not realise players such as Fernando Torres and Pepe Reina were probably beyond their primes.The comments emerged during a legal dispute involving former Liverpool owner George Gillett and Mill Financial - who were also making overtures to take over the five-time European champions before losing out to FSG. U-turn welcomed Spirit of Shankly hope owners have learned lesson after ticket U-turn I think we underestimated how poor the playing quality of the squad was, and frankly, we underestimated how difficult it was going to be to stabilise the asset, FSGs former general counsel Edward Weiss said.We obviously did some due diligence on the playing squad during this process before we closed on the transaction in the middle of October of 2010. What we came to know was that the playing squad was poor.While we had a few top players like Steven Gerrard, other players like Fernando Torres and Pepe Reina were probably beyond their primes, and Javier Mascherano was not even on the team.dddddddddddd. Pepe Reina made over 280 appearances for the club over nine years Weiss also revealed that the group attended just one match before going ahead with the takeover - and were less than impressed.He added: In due diligence, we attended one match. Most of us had never been to a Premier League match; so it was going to be hard to recommend to our investor group that we buy a football club without ever having been to one. The one we saw was less than thrilling. It was a near no-match. Get a Sky Sports Day Pass Dont miss Crystal Palace v Liverpool. Watch live on NOW TV for ￡6.99. No contract.
