    It seems MLE makes both sides glad.

    $4 million, 2 years is all I'd do, perhaps with a team option (with a raise) for a third year, if he develops at the same rate.

    He'd accept the minimum from any other team except the Rockets.

    More than 1/3 MLE or 1.8m. Anything more will be overpaying.

    If Von wants the Rockets to sign him, he needs to stop that "headless chicken" style of play he sometimes does. Next year's team is going to be about cuts, screens, movement, and quick decision-making.

    I really hope this is true. Von brought energy to this team that Yao and T-mac will never have in their lifetime.

    Honestly I wouldn't mind seeing Von coming back to Houston, I loved his energy and his scoring ability. If he can be consistent on the defensive end and improve on his distributing game than I think he would be a solid piece to the rockets roster.

    Yeah Von has been around the league for a while and has some playoff experience and so far he's the best SG option in my opinion. Jermaine Taylor looks like he can develop into a great nba player but as of now Von is the better player.

    I bet Von is sorry he rejected 3.5 mil from the Rox... I doubt another team will pay that much. Now he probably gotta settle for less money.

    That offer was BS. Never happened. Von's agent and Feigan confirmed that he never had a 3.5 mil offer.
