    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">HOUSTON (AP) -- The Houston Rockets will not exercise team options on guard Tito Maddox and forward Terence Morris, general manager Carroll Dawson said Wednesday.

    Maddox, a second-round draft pick last year, played only nine games for Houston, mostly because of an injury to his left foot.

    Morris averaged 3.7 points and 2.9 rebounds over the last two seasons with the Rockets. He signed as a free agent before the 2001-02 season.

    The team has invited both players to begin playing for its Summer Pro League team next week.</div>

    I really hope Tito can catch on with some team. Heck, the Clippers should sign up just to have him and Ely playing together again.

    morris was a promising player at maryland his first couple seasons, woulda been a lottery pick if he left after his sophmore year. but, like kapono, he stayed and didnt really progress or show much potential, and in effect dropped to the 2nd round. he doesnt have a position, does bang or rebound well enough for the 4, isnt fast enough or shoot well enough for the 3. his first year, he basically sat, and had no shot whatsoever, his 2nd year, he got some minutes every now and then, but still proved to have an unreliable shot. i hope he gets picked up somewhere, he seems nice, and has a very stoic look about him.

    maddox was a cancer last season in the locker room, he even failed to travel with the team on a couple road trips....without an excuse. hopefully this man wont make our roster, in that hes been invited to the rockets summer league team.

    hes a smart player, i just think that he isnt that skilled. hes got heart, no doubt. o'neal had some real advantages, 1 size, 2 age

    morris made a big mistake not leaving after his sophmore year. he sucked in his senior year(the year that baxter and dixon took over maryland).
