With the Lin and Asik signings the Rockets mightn't have the cap space to bring him over now. Even if they were able to renegotiate his buyout.

Houston makes a nod to Sergio Llull

Xisco CRUZ, Mao 15/07/2012

Houston Rockets franchise that owns the rights in the Sergio Llull NBA since June 2009, has opened the gateway to the basis of Mao. The Texas team has broken away from Kyle Lowry (Toronto) and Goran Dragic (Phoenix), the two directors of the game that his orders had coach Kevin McHale, in a move that could have the player's arrival in order to Menorca best league in the world. "We want to come so that it can take minutes and contribute," says Gersson Rose, vice president of player personnel in Houston.

The Rockets have blind faith in the talent of Llull, so for three summers disbursed 2.25 billion to buy the election of Denver Nuggets in the second round pick. However, a contract extension with Real Madrid's base until 2014 and an exit clause 5 million euros had curbed their arrival in the NBA. But Houston insists.

On April Arturas Karnisovas, director of scouting franchise, traveled to Spain to try to convince him to give Sergio the jump, impressed as were the executives of the entity after its display at the Copa del Rey. They have now returned to make a move transferring its two bases, so it is likely to try again after the Olympics: "We are thrilled with their maturation process," says Rosas. "We are talking to see when the time is right for him to come; Llull will come when you have the opportunity to be part of a rotation in the NBA, and that's when you want it."

The truth is that Sergio Llull has stated on more than one occasion his desire to fulfill its contractual commitment with Real Madrid, but Houston has returned to perform operations that throw the player a clear message. Besides the Rockets will have to strengthen their direction of play this summer, the choice of basis of Mao is still alive. In the NBA you are prepared. "He's very experienced and a good pedigree," says Rosas. "Play with the national team and is one of the best teams in Spain and the Euroleague. It has an interesting experience. " Llull would be released at the end of the year 2013/14 to 26 years, in the prime sport. Clear that Madrid would be studying the possibility of extending his contract to try to cash in on the operation. "We plan the right time to come, not only in terms of equipment, also economically for him and for us," admits the vice president of player personnel from Houston.

Sporting franchise in Llull consider a multipurpose type, with a great physique and features that would adapt well to the league, "is a unique player in terms of the European dimension, more athlete than the rest and a defender above the half. You can play one and two, is not afraid to penetrate and compete and win highly valued, "explains Rose. Now it remains to be seen if Sergio Llull decided to go to the NBA this year or postponed for another season is a dream pursued by many players each season.

The Brazilian PG looked pretty good the other night.

Fraschilla said he "is just as good as Jeremy Lin."

What the heck...sign him up Morey.

I knew we were Red Rowdies, but didn't realize we were communist sympathizers

Its worth a phone call from Morey, and the roster situation needs depending on what happens or continues to almost happen with everyones favorite superstar trade.

Just to show how bad bleacherreport is, I saw this in their article on today's USA Spain matchup:

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1269750-olympic-basketball-2012-usa-versus-spain-preview

Llull is a small forward that played one season in the NBA for the Houston Rockets. In 2008-2009 Llull averaged eight points per game while shooting 45 percent from the field.

Nothing like getting the facts straight!
