    Just a poll to see where everybody stand on this.

    I guess this is contingent on what the real numbers are to what Landry was offered from the Bobcats. But let's just say it is the 3 years/9 million; play Daryl Morey for a minute, what's your call?

    Poll is public, who will eat crow later on?

    ...yeah, yeah, I know this is the 3rd thread on this.

    Yes, 3 mil a year isn't asking for much.

    We can always trade him to Bobcats if we dont need his service later.

    definitely Rockets will match. It's a fair price for both.

    A reasonable contract similar to the one Amir Johnson got, a good raise for Landry and a fair deal from the Rockets.

    Yes, they should match.

    yes, we should definitely match this offer.
    last year was the first in like 8 years that we have a quality PF starter (Scola) and a solid PF backup (Landry). i dont want to go through the cycle of finding the right PF again.

    I'll be the first to say no.

    I rather use the money to resign Artest.

    Dorsey could possibly be our "next" Landry.

    There is a concern about the luxury tax threshold, but I still say they should match the offer.

    this is probably a good time to advertise my vid some more, but here are quite a few reasons to sign him back:

    <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FTHTmeDvShQ&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FTHTmeDvShQ&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

    and those are just the dunks, he brings so much energy, hustle plays, offensive rebounds, a solid midrange game, and more...

    OK, Rockets match, but no Chinese shoe deal.

    Bye-bye, Mike Harris!

    Yeah, good video. But if I am not wrong, most or all of the highlight were before his knee incident during the season.

    I would match. But Morey has turned me into a believer. Match or not, I won't complain. Whatever he does, there must be a good reason for it. :)

    I would say no... Give the chance to Dorsey who is younger and healthier, and leave to money for resigning Artest, Scola, or signing sb. whenever necessary in the middle of the season...
