Not sure how reliable hoopsworld is for this type of information, but they are reporting that Carl Landry is going to sign an offer sheet from the Bobcats for around $3 million/year. source This is actually good news for the Rockets, if true. I fully expect the Rockets would match that, unless the knee is bothering them much more than they are letting on. I also saw this release on the Bobcats.com website today: http://www.nba.com/bobcats/release_landry_080924.html
Feigen has a writeup on this story on the Chron website: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bk/bkn/6020815.html
morey's gotta match this....even if we have to dump someone...*cough, cough* "Luther Head" *cough, cough*
This is pretty cheap for a talent like Landry. Sign him! Luther Head, I want to keep him around for the simeple fact that many chants can include Head and balls.
We should let go of Mike Harris in my opinion. Landry was a big part of our success with Yao out last season. It'll be a shame if Morey doesn't match this offer. We have to get Landry.
Does the signing of Landry mean they won't sign Joey Dorsey anymore? Manager Daryl Morey told the team's website that "Joey is close to signing. By the end of the week, we should have that finished." Morey added: "We're looking forward to having him join. It will likely be a long-term deal that keeps him here for a good stretch." This was an article written on 9/24. The week has ended and Dorsey still hasn't signed.
The deal is now done. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bk/bkn/6028409.html $3.5 million over 4 years, with the last two years being team options. Pretty good value for the Rockets, I think.
glad to have both Landry and Dorsey aboard.......our defense is gonna give people FITS next year..............I'm really excited about the upcoming season..........
yes, but now more than ever.....we now have 2 stoppers in Battier and Ron, and Dorsey along with Landry, Scola, Yao, Hayes, and hopefully Deke will give opponents hell down low..........
The only thing that keeps popping in my mind is, can Tmac and Yao really screw this thing up???? God I hope the answer to that is no.
