    One team might as well be heads. The other might as well be tails. That's the difficulty of the decision free-agent guard Derek Anderson faces this weekend.

    Difficult Deciosion? Unlikely While the Rockets are waiting to announce the arrival of Latrell Sprewell, Derek Anderson is more likely to land in L.A. Anderson would have a starting position here and is being offered a little more.

    Although the Lakers can offer more money, Anderson would make only about $415,000 more in Los Angeles than in Houston next season, based on league rules covering players who are released with guaranteed contracts and signed by another team.

    Anderson has made choice, agent saysAssociated Press
    National Basketball Association News Wire

    HOUSTON -- Free agent Derek Anderson plans to sign a two-year contract with the Houston Rockets, his agent said Sunday.

    Tony Dutt, Anderson's agent, said he informed the Rockets of Anderson's plans, and he expects Anderson to join the team this week.

    Anderson was released by the Portland Trail Blazers as part of the NBA's amnesty program. He met last week with Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy. Dutt said that was a pivotal meeting.

    "I think he loved the fact of the team concept, and he's gonna earn every minute that he plays," Dutt told Houston television station KRIV.

    Dutt told the Houston Chronicle that Anderson agreed to a two-year deal, the second of which would be at his option.

    The Rockets could only offer $1.67 million because of the salary cap.

    Dutt said the decision wasn't about money, but about the right opportunity. </div>

    Those comments sound like you stole it off of a writer and changed it into your own words.
