<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'> Describing the Rockets' contract offer as "disturbing and confusing," the agent for unsigned draft pick Carl Landry said Wednesday that the team's offer is worse than every other second-round pick and many undrafted free agents.</p> Buddy Baker said the Rockets have guaranteed Landry, the first player selected in the second round of June's NBA draft, only a small portion of a two-year contract. Landry also could accept the team's tender offer — a one-year, non-guaranteed contract, expected to be worth $427,000 — and become a restricted free agent after the season.</p> Baker and Rockets general manager Daryl Morey, who is in China for Yao Ming's charity game Saturday, would not say how much of Landry's contract offer is guaranteed.</p> "We see Carl as part of our future and hope to resolve his contract situation in the near future," Morey said via e-mail.</div></p> http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports...kn/5130595.html</p> Disturbing news. Even though we have 17 players under contract, we allegedly gave up $1 million cash to buy the pick from Seattle. Why we're not giving Landry a fair offer is not good, especially given our situation at the power forward position. Hopefully this will reach a resolution quickly and not drag on into training camp.</p> Any thoughts? </p>
